Build2Sim Makes Traffic Jams Explain Themselves
A browser-based city builder and traffic simulator where you design roads, zone land, watch individual vehicles route themselves, and test junction changes against repeated morning peaks.
Field notes
Build2Sim combines an overhead road-building view with a first-person driving view of the same simulation. Its traffic model assigns routes to individual vehicles, uses the Intelligent Driver Model for following behavior, and lets users compare a junction across repeated morning peaks. The page also describes manually drawing roads through tunnels, elevated sections, ramps, and flyovers rather than placing only predefined tiles. An example scenario includes 196 vehicles on a five-kilometre route.
