Abstract: “In this study the use of traffic simulation as a tool for evaluating various strategies and designing various signal models and also implementing pedestrian model in response of emergency situations is considered and briefed. This paper presents a traffic simulation approach for evaluating the pedestrian behaviour by developing a model which includes pedestrians in a vehicular micro-simulation model i.e. PARAMICS. This study is based on testing of the prototypes and actual signs in order to determine if they convey the desired message in the desired time. This will let the users know the usability of their signs and make them reach the desired safe destination easily. In this report, pedestrian characteristics during emergency are also studied using suitable pedestrian model (eg: Fruins pedestrian model). Application of this carfollowing algorithm demonstrated by calibrating in PARAMICS will be very useful in predicting known pedestrian speed-flow relationship. The model is developed e”
