چکیده
Traffic microscopic traffic simulation models have become extensively used in both transportation operations and management analyses, which are very useful in reflecting the dynamic nature of transportation system in a stochastic manner. As far as the microscopic traffic flow simulation users are concerned, the one of the major concerns would be the appropriate calibration of the simulation models. In this paper a parameter calibration method of microscopic traffic flow simulation models based on orthogonal genetic algorithm is presented. In order to improve the capacity of locating a possible solution in solution space, the proposed method incorporates the orthogonal experimental design method into the genetic algorithm. The proposed method is applied to an arterial section of Ronghua Road in Beijing. Through comparing with the parameter calibration method based on genetic algorithm, the advantage of the proposed method is shown.
