The calculation of path travel times is an essential component for the dynamic traffic assignment and equilibrium problems. This paper presents a simulation method for calculating actual path travel times for the traffic network with dynamic demands. The method is based on a path-based macroscopic simulation model of network traffic dynamics. There is no need to explicitly model intersection delays in this method. Discontinuity in the travel time caused by traffic light control can be captured by this method. It's flexible in terms that the model is not limited to a specific velocity-density relationship. Some numerical results for signalized and unsignalized networks are reported. / Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA)
