• Microscocopic traffic simulation models allow detailed analysis of traffic operations and alternative capacity improvements and traffic operation analysis
• The complexity of simulation modeling increases with the increase in congestion level and advanced strategy modeling
• Data from ITS combined with data from other sources allow:– More cost-effective simulation model development
– Better calibrated and validated models

Introduction
![Page 3: Utilization of ITS Data to Calibrate Simulation Models](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062500/568157a3550346895dc533d6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• “Investigation of ATDM Strategies to Reduce the Probability of Breakdown”
• Joint FIU/UF Project: M. Hadi, L. Elefteriadou, Y. Xiao, C. Letter, A. Darroudi– Investigate the implementation of the breakdown probability
to an existing real-world deployment of ramp metering.
– Investigate the use of speed harmonization by itself or in combination with the ramp metering implementation
– Examine how connected vehicle technologies can be used to support the strategies investigated
– Provide guidelines to agencies on how to use simulation models to assess and fine-tune ATDM strategies of the types investigated in the project

• Utilize detailed data to identify the variability of congestion between days– How similar are different days
• Identify day(s)/congestion levels for use in the analysis
• Examine variation in breakdown attributes between days and associate these attributes with congestion levels
• Examine the use of new attributes (based on breakdown and queuing) for calibrating simulation models for use in modeling advanced strategies

• Guidelines have been produced for calibration and use of simulation models– FHWA Traffic Analysis Toolbox (TAT) Volumes 3 and 4 are
examples
• Calibration data has consisted of measures of capacity; traffic counts; and measures of system performance such as travel times; speeds, delays, and queues
• TAT specifies that system performance data (travel times, delays, queues, speeds) must be gathered simultaneously with the traffic counts

• Multi-scenario analysis for “normal”, incidents, special events, weather has been proposed in recent years.
• Range of “normal” conditions considered – low, median, and heavy based on VMT
