This paper describes an enhancement to the TRAF-NETSIM simulation model. This enhancement provides users the ability to simulate with identical traffic streams through a series of runs. Thus, the user can make a series of simulation runs by retaining the traffic stream of an initial run while simulating under different traffic control or operational conditions in subsequent runs. The representation of stochastic behavior in the TRAF-NETSIM simulation model is described and the need for the generation of identical traffic streams is discussed. The two approaches considered in implementing this feature and the program modifications necessary to implement the selected approach are described. Some representative simulation results are presented and the applications and limitations of the identical traffic streams feature are discussed. 7 refs., 3 figs., 1 tab.
