Typical software used in the simulation of traffic behavior focuses on scenarios describing common situations, such as an ordinary working day without remarkable incidents. To simulate such scenarios, iterative approaches are used. They assume that the people simulated adapt to previous iterations’ results. Such iterative approaches produce meaningful results for various scenarios only when typical, repetitive situations are modeled. However, a scenario may also contain incidents that occur randomly, and thus substantially increase a model's complexity. In such scenarios, an iterative approach would produce illogical and even erroneous results. Within-day replanning is an attempt to handle such scenarios. This paper describes problems that arise when an iterative simulation approach is applied to a scenario with exceptional events. The within-day replanning technique is introduced and implemented in the multiagent transport simulation framework, allowing simulated agents to replan the routes between their activities while they are traveling. By doing this, agents can take current traffic conditions into account, an important requirement for scenarios containing unpredictable incidents such as road accidents. The implementation capability is demonstrated by conducting experiments in which capacities of several arterial roads in the city center of Zurich, Switzerland, are reduced as the result of an exceptional event. It is demonstrated that agents affected by those events are able to reduce their travel times if they replan their routes by using within-day replanning.
