Abstract: The problems of traditional road traffic signal control simulation and the natural connections between UTC/SCOOT and VISSIM are analysed. Three different levels of simulation model concepts are summarised and a real-time traffic simulation platform based on UTC/SCOOT, interface technology, and VISSIM is designed. This paper provides valuable insights into the potential benefits of integrating the UTC/SCOOT and VISSIM systems and using them to create a real-time traffic simulation platform. It has been successfully applied in Zhuhai Traffic Control Management, where it has been confirmed to be highly effective and practical, with an effectiveness rate of over 85%. The research shows that using this platform can significantly reduce the time and cost involved in optimising traffic plans. For multiple optimisation attempts, this platform is able to save 1 hour of time compared to not using it. This platform improves traffic control management, enhances the accuracy of traffic simulation evaluations.
