Summary The application of traffic simulators has recently been regarded more important than ever as objective pre/post evaluation procedure for traffic measures such as traffic demand managements and appropriate utilization of existing road networks to realize political goal of CO2 reduction. The route guidance and parking lot guidance algorithms were developed and implemented to the NILIM's microscopic traffic simulator SIPA (Smart Infrastructure Performance Analyzer) as information provision functions with appropriate verification results. The procedures of input data adaptation to the SIPA were also summarized with actual examples.
