Abstract

Blackwall Tunnel is one of the most congested roadways in London. By simulating the tunnel and the connecting roads, information can be obtained about the traffic conditions and bottlenecks. In this paper, a model will be created using the Simulation of Urban Mobility (SUMO) tool and traffic flow data gathered from Transport for London (TfL) traffic cameras. The result from the simulation will be compared to the journey time data of Blackwall Tunnel in order to determine the accuracy of simulation.
