APPENDIX C: TRAFFIX™ TUTORIAL

This Appendix walks new users through an example session with TRAFFIX™. We will draw a sample network, input data and perform a simple impact analysis.

This tutorial illustrates how to apply TRAFFIX™ to a typical traffic analysis problem and is not intended to teach traffic engineering practices. Users interested in learning more about traffic engineering practices should consult the appropriate publications of the Institute of Transportation Engineers and the Transportation Research Board.
