AN ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT ON THE BORMAN EXPRESSWAY. PART II: CALIBRATING A SIMULATION MODEL. FINAL REPORT

The purpose of this project was to calibrate a freeway simulation model to emulate traffic operating conditions on the Borman Expressway in Northwest Indiana. To replicate Borman operating conditions, the project adopted Integrated Traffic Simulation (INTRAS), a microscopic, stochastic freeway simulation model. Appropriate input data were developed on geometric, traffic and driver behavior information, based on physical measurements and other available data. The model was calibrated and statistical analysis was conducted to validate the accuracy of the results.
