dc.description.abstract	Paper presented at the 23rd Annual Southern African Transport Conference 12 - 15 July 2004 "Getting recognition for the importance of transport", CSIR International Convention Centre, Pretoria, South Africa. In this paper, the significance of computer simulation for traffic systems is analyzed and both the relationship between traditional transportation systems and simulation technology and the relationship between Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and simulation technology are discussed. The research interests and approaches of traffic simulation are reviewed in details and contemporary development and applications in this field are presented. Finally，several important future prospects in the traffic simulation based on digital computers are pointed out according to the recent research and development of modern computer simulation technology. The tendencies include virtual reality technology, network and system integration, parallel computing, object-oriented programming, discrete-event simulation, travel demand simulation and traffic control system simulation.	en
