A BENCHMARK DATA SET FOR VALIDITY EVALUATION OF ROAD NETWORK SIMULATION MODELS
A traffic simulator AVENUE, which deals with urban road networks, has been developed and validated. Through the experience of the model validation, substantial effort has been spent to collect precise data sets including time-varying O-D demand and individual vehicle trajectories. In this paper, the outline of the survey in Kichijoji-Mitaka area is described at first. In order to collect precise data, the survey was made with recording number plates for 'every' vehicle traveling the area. Then, the extraction of individual vehicle trajectories from the survey data is briefly explained. The extraction process interpolates misreading data by observers with heuristics rules. The extracted vehicle trajectories are subsequently aggregated to time-varying O-D demand. Finally, the validation of AVENUE is presented as an example of the usage of this benchmark data set. The recommended model validation process and the future topics conclude this paper. For the covering abstract see IRRD E102946.
