摘要：	Poor geometric design is responsible for substandard quality of service on urban roads as well as at signalized intersections. Sound principles of traffic engineering are employed in the design stage to mitigate the possibility of problems developing after construction is completed. However, unforeseen operational problems do arise occasionally. There is a need for additional tools to complement traditional traffic engineering analysis to address this issue. Driving simulators have been used predominantly for training specific target audiences such as novice drivers, law enforcement officers, and truck drivers. Visual databases and traffic scenarios have been developed to support the training mission. The steady improvements in simulator technology has opened the door to the possibility of using driving simulators in research applications involving both human factors and traffic operations. The primary objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of using The University of Central Florida's interactive driving simulator to perform traffic engineering studies, specifically, the quality of service at a signalized intersection.
