Traffic Flow Simulation Using Corsim
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an overview of the concept and features of the CORSIM traffic simulation program and the TSIS package that provides an integrated, user-friendly interface and environment for executing CORSIM. The new functions and feature of CORSIM and TSIS in the most recent release are highlighted. Several successful TSIS/CORSIM applications are used to demonstrate that CORSIM is a very effective tool to perform traffic operations analysis and to evaluate new ITS technologies.

Field Applications of Corsim : I - 40 Freeway Design Evaluation , Oklahoma City ,
Simulation of traffic flow is an effective tool for evaluating alternative roadway designs, particularly in congested urban areas. CORSIM, a traffic simulation model with detailed representation of vehicles and their interactions, was used to study the performance of two alternatives for a freeway reconstruction project in Oklahoma City. The simulation identified problem areas in the two freewa...
متن کاملStatistical Inverse Analysis for a Network Microsimulator
CORSIM is a large microsimulator for vehicular traffic, and is being studied with respect to its ability to successfully model and predict behavior of traffic in a 36 block section of Chicago. Inputs to the simulator include information about street configuration, driver behavior, traffic light timing, turning probabilities at each corner and distributions of traffic ingress into the system. Da...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis of CORSIM with respect to the process of freeway flow breakdown at bottleneck locations
Various microscopic simulation models have been used for studying traffic operations along freeway segments. An important desirable function of these models is their ability to obtain capacity and replicate the breakdown process realistically. The objectives of this paper are to evaluate the capability of a microsimulation model, CORSIM, to replicate the process of breakdown and to perform a se...
متن کاملA Comparison of the VISSIM and CORSIM Traffic Simulation Models
As transportation systems have become more complex and frequently congested, simulation modeling has gained recognition as an effective approach for quantifying traffic operations. Traffic simulation packages like CORSIM and VISSIM can address these types of network issues, and are frequently used as tools for analyzing traffic. However, there is little information available to the analysts app...
متن کاملStatistically-based Validation of Computer Simulation Models in Traffic Operations and Management
The process of model validation is crucial for the use of computer simulation models in transportation policy, planning and operations. The obstacles that must be overcome and the issues that must be treated in performing a validation are laid out here. We describe a general process that emphasizes five essential ingredients for validation: context, data, uncertainty, feedback, and prediction. ...
