Calibration and Validation of Dynamic Traffic Assignment Systems

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have the potential to improve traffic conditions and reduce travel delays by facilitating better utilization of available capacity. Such systems are quite complex, and employ sophisticated algorithms to achieve their objectives. Several simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) systems have been developed for a wide range of ITS applications. These systems target more realistic approaches to short-term transportation planning such as special events and work zones and address the growing importance of real-time applications such as incident management, route guidance and emergency response.
