Traffic Simulation
Course Faculty: Mark Hallenbeck and Tony Woody
This two-day course, designed especially for transportation engineers and planners, will provide you with an in-depth review of microscopic traffic simulation models, their attributes, strengths, and weaknesses. Using simulation software, you will learn how to develop, operate and evaluate results from simulation models. You will also learn how to oversee and manage the simulation work that you do to support your project design tasks.
Course Topics
- When to use simulation models
- Similarities and differences between traffic simulation models and other types of transportation models
- Basic theories behind traffic simulation models
- How to develop and run simulation models,
- How to obtain the data for running simulation models
- How to calibrate and validate traffic simulation models
- Simulation model outputs
- How to manage projects that incorporate simulation modeling
- How to review the quality and completeness of simulation models
