Objective
Microscopic traffic simulation, which captures traffic phenomena through detailed representation of individual drivers and their behaviour, is increasingly being recognized as an important tool for traffic analysis. In recent years, the emergence of intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) applications has further stressed the importance of microscopic traffic simulation. Explicit and detailed modeling of the behaviour of individual drivers, allows the simulation to be used to study not only traditional traffic engineering problems but also traffic impacts, such as safety analysis, energy consumption and air pollution. The fidelity of microscopic traffic simulation results heavily depends on the quality of the driving behaviour models it uses. However, there are significant gaps in the ability of current driving behaviour models to replicate the behaviour of real-world drivers. The purpose of this project is to develop, test and implement new driving behaviour models that enable development of microscopic simulators. The following major tasks will be performed:
Use of rigorous statistical methods to specify and estimate advanced driving behaviour models. These models will improve the performance of simulation models for current applications and expand the range of applications for which the models can be used.
Implement the new models within a traffic simulator, and validate it against real-world traffic data.
Demonstrate the improved capabilities of the traffic simulator that implements the new driving behaviour models by application to a real-world problem.
