This Guide presents information required by programmers to understand or modify the program logic of TWOPAS, a microscopic computer simulation model of traffic on two-lane, two-way highways. The TWOPAS model simulates traffic operations on two:- lane highways by reviewing the position, speed, and acceleration of each individual vehicle on a simulated roadway and advancing those vehicles along the roadway in a realistic manner. TWOPAS has the capability to simulate both conventional two-lane highways and two-lane highways with added passing lanes. This Guide documents the overall model structure, the function of each subroutine in the model, and defines each variable used in the model. The TWOPAS model is written in FORTRAN and is intended to run on an IBM mainframe computer.
