Evaluation of DynaMIT - A Prototype Traffic Estimation and Prediction System

DynaMIT integrates a detailed network traffic model with models of traveler behavior. Through combining information from historical databases with real-time inputs from field installations (surveillance data and control logic of traffic signals, ramp meters, and toll booths), DynaMIT generates estimates of future traffic conditions. This project will evaluate the performance of this prototype dynamic traffic assignment program using a manageable network in Hampton Roads Smart Traffic Center. The project will consider both off-line and on-line testing.
