THE MYTHOLOGY OF MODELING
Computer-based traffic modeling has experienced a tremendous increase in both acceptance and popularity. Expectations have advanced beyond the current reality of the traffic modeling craft. These expectations have contributed to the growing mythology which surrounds traffic modeling. Misconceptions are being spread (or at the least left unaddressed) by well-meaning experts unable, or unwilling, to educate the end user to the needs and limitations inherent in the traffic modeling process. These misconceptions are the basis for most of the myths which pervade traffic modeling. The remainder of this paper summarizes the ten most common of these myths.
