Calibration of traffic flow models using a memetic algorithm
A Memetic Algorithm (MA) for the calibration of microscopic traffic flow simulation models is proposed in this study. The proposed MA includes a combination of genetic and simulated annealing algorithms. The genetic algorithm performs the exploration of the search space and identifies a zone where a possible global solution could be located. After this zone has been found, the simulated anneali...
متن کاملW-SPSA in practice: Approximation of weight matrices and calibration of traffic simulation models
The development and calibration of complex traffic models demands parsimonious techniques, because such models often involve hundreds of thousands of unknown parameters. The Weighted Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (W-SPSA) algorithm has been proven more efficient than its predecessor SPSA (Spall, 1998), particularly in situations where the correlation structure of the variab...
متن کاملCalibration of Microscopic Traffic Flow Simulation Models Using a Memetic Algorithm with Solis and Wets Local Search Chaining (MA-SW-Chains)
Traffic models require calibration to provide an adequate representation of the actual field conditions. This study presents the adaptation of a memetic algorithm (MA-SW-Chains) based on Solis and Wets local search chains, for the calibration of microscopic traffic flow simulation models. The effectiveness of the proposed MA-SW-Chains approach was tested using two vehicular traffic flow models ...
متن کاملCalibration of Dynamic Traffic Assignment Models
Accurate calibration of demand and supply simulators within a Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) system is critical for the provision of consistent travel information and efficient traffic management. Emerging traffic surveillance devices such as Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) technology provide a rich source of disaggregate traffic data. This thesis presents a methodology for calibration...
متن کاملA Parameters Calibration Method in Simulated Complex Traffic Network
Traffic simulation models have been extensively used because of their ability to model the dynamic stochastic nature of transportation systems. Parameter calibration is very complex and does not give optimal results easily. Besides, it is also time-consuming especially for large and complex networks. Initially, the procedure of traffic micro-simulation parameter calibration was put forward. A V...
