Traffic Management Simulation Development

Microscopic simulation can provide significant support to traffic management center (TMC) operations. However, traffic simulation applications require data that are expensive and time-consuming to collect. Data collected by TMCs can be used as a primary source for the provision of the required data. The goal of this project is to explore the development of methods and tools for the use of microscopic traffic simulation models to support the TMC software implementation, operation, and testing on the one hand, and the use of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) data to support the development and calibration of simulation models on the other. The project products include software utilities that use the existing TMC databases and other available information for the preparation and calibration of microscopic simulation tools. In addition, the products include utilities to support testing of the TMC software modules and data archiving processes, as demonstrated by use cases of the tools developed in this study.
