An Electronic Surveillance and Control System for Traffic Management on the Borman Expressway. Part II, Calibrating a Simulation Model

This report presents a project whose purpose was to calibrate a freeway simulation model to emulate traffic operating conditions on the Borman Expressway. The computer simulation model can then be used to predict impacts created by a host of possible conditions including incident occurrences, maintenance, reconstruction and the deployment of various freeway control and management strategies. The results of the simulation model can be used as a decision-making tool for adopting suitable policies to address operating needs.
