A Framework for Traffic Planning and Forecasting using Micro-Simulation Calibrations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the application of microsimulation for traffic planning and forecasting, and proposes a new framework to model complex traffic conditions by calibrating and adjusting traffic parameters of a microsimulation model. By using an open source micro-simulator package, TRANSIMS, in this study, animated and numerical results were produced and analysed. The framework of traffic model calibration was evaluated for its usefulness and practicality. Finally, we discuss future applications such as providing end users with real time traffic information through Intelligent Transport System (ITS) integration. Keywords—traffic congestion; traffic planning; traffic modeling; micro-simulations;TRANSIMS

متن کاملTraffic Prediction using a Deep Learning Paradigm
For many years intelligent transportation systems (ITS) have been collecting and processing huge amounts of data from numerous sensors to generate a ground truth of urban traffic. Such data has set the foundation of traffic theory, planning and simulation to create rule-based systems. It has also been used in many different studies in data-driven short-term traffic flow forecasting with promisi...
