Very important at this stage is the configuration of the detectors based on which Aimsun will generate the destination home matrix. Because the model is in its infancy, it is necessary to achieve the allocation of routes that network vehicles follow based on various parameters: * Cost * Waiting times * Traffic volume * Vehicle classes Once Aimsun performs the allocation of routes for each vehicle in the virtual network, the destination origin matrix based on the information contained in the detectors and the information generated during the route allocation is made. 2.3Graphical modelling of the public transport system The public transport system modelled for Craiova has all the bus and tram routes in Craiova because there is currently no route with few stops on the main thoroughfares [7]. Because the modelling of the public transport system for Craiova implied the introduction into Aimsun of the parameters that make up the public transport network, parameters that are fictitious, their configuration is superfluous. To achieve this optimization stage, priority traffic lanes were made for public transport vehicles on the following streets: * The Bucharest Way * Nicolae Titulescu Boulevard * Calea Severinului street * Carol I boulevard (partly) * Aries Street street * Simion Barnutiu street * The Way of the Union * Nicolae Romanescu Boulevard In order to simulate these priority bands for public transport vehicles, the following were required: * 55 centroids * 86 detectors * 18 cost functions for different arteries and sections * 6 types of experiments * 30 public transport lines * 763 sections * 5 vehicle classes * 103 public transport stations For simulation of these priority bands, the model of the main arteries on which the joint transport was made at the previous stage was used.
