VARIABILITY ASSESSMENT FOR TRAF-NETSIM

Statistical issues involved in the use of stochastic traffic simulation are briefly discussed, and simulation experiments using TRAF-NETSIM are described, with emphasis on effective procedures for output analyses. The exploratory results obtained from simulation experiments are further investigated, along with the development of guidelines for output variability assessment. It is noted that the variability of variables generated by a traffic simulation model can be assessed by variables' confidence intervals computed via the two most convenient approaches, the batch means, and replication methods.
