Aggregate calibration of microscopic traffic simulation models
The problem of calibration of microscopic simulation models with aggregate data has received significant attention in recent years. But day-to-day variability in inputs such as travel demand has not been considered. In this thesis, a general formulation has been proposed for the problem in the …

A Comparative Analysis of Weaving Areas in HCM, TRANSIMS, CORSIM, VISSIM and INTEGRATION
Traffic simulation is a powerful tool that provides transportation engineers with the ability to test the feasibility and performance of a system before it is implemented and also helps in optimizing the proposed system. Over the past twenty years significant amount of work has been conducted on …

An Analysis of Traffic Behavior at Freeway Diverge Sections using Traffic Microsimulation Software
Microscopic simulation traffic models are widely used by transportation researchers and practitioners to evaluate and plan for transportation facilities. The intent of these models is to estimate the second-by-second vehicle movements and interactions on such facilities. Due to constraints related …
