Microscopic simulation models are becoming increasingly important tools in modeling
transport systems. A large number of models are used in many countries. The most difficult …

The evermore widespread use of microscopic traffic simulation in the analysis of road
systems has refocused attention on submodels, including car-following models. The …

Model verification and validation are two important tasks in developing a traffic simulation
model. Traffic simulation models have unique characteristics because of the interaction …

Parameter calibration of traffic microsimulation models usually takes the form of a simulation-
based optimization problem, that is, an optimization in which every objective function …

Several microscopic traffic flow models were tested with a publicly available data set. The
task was to predict the travel times between several observers along a one-lane rural road …

This study addresses the problem of calibration of the Gipps microscopic traffic flow model.
The approach consists of first deriving traffic stream models, in the form of steady-state …

The calibration and validation approach and results from a case study applying the
microscopic traffic simulation tool MITSIMLab to a mixed urban-freeway network in the …

This note contributes to the discussion on the current state and the prospectives of
macroscopic traffic flow modelling. It is argued that macroscopic traffic flow models may …

The performance of six microscopic traffic flow models was investigated on the basis of how
well these models fit with the real-time kinematic Global Positioning System (GPS) …

A framework for the calibration of microscopic traffic simulation models using aggregate data
is presented. The framework takes into account the interactions between the various inputs …
