Field Applications of Corsim : I - 40 Freeway Design Evaluation , Oklahoma City ,
نویسنده
چکیده
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 freeway design alternatives and assisted transportation professionals in selecting a preferred alternative.

This paper describes the evaluation approach that will be used to assess the performance of the Ramp Metering Control (RMC) for the New Jersey Department of Transportation in the United States. The primary objectives of the evaluation are to assess the impact of RMC control strategies on traffic flow and support the analysis of critical operational procedures. The framework for the evaluation c...
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 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 کاملSelf-Paced Instruction to Introduce Traffic Engineering in Virtual City (Sooner City)
This paper presents the results of one portion of a larger program conducted at the University of Oklahoma to introduce students to engineering and design through the use of a virtual city called ‘Sooner City’. This particular module is used to introduce the students to traffic engineering through an easily-understood, internet-based learning environment. Since most freshman engineering student...
متن کاملComparison of INTEGRATION, TSIS/CORSIM and WATSim in Replicating Volumes and Speeds on Three Small Networks
INTRODUCTION TSIS/CORSIM and WATSim are microscopic, integrated, simulation models. INTEGRATION, on the other hand, models only the aggregate speed-volume interactions of traffic and not the details of a vehicle's lane-changing and car-following behavior; thus, it is commonly classified as a mesoscopic integrated simulation model. INTEGRATION is a routing-oriented model for mixed networks (1,2)...
