dc.description.abstract |
At present, majority of traffic management
initiatives are mostly based on trial and error procedures, where
no proper traffic theory or simulations are involved. When
considering the context of Sri Lanka, the use of traffic simulation
software has been the newest addition for the traffic engineering
field. However, the outputs obtained from VISSIM traffic
simulation software can become unrealistic, if no proper
calibration is conducted for the local context. Therefore, the aim
of the research is to develop a calibration procedure and identify
representative values for parameters required for VISSIM micro
simulation software to suit the local Condition. Based on the
findings of the literature review, 9 key parameters were identified
for calibration purposes of VISSIM, which are further reduced to
5 key parameters based on the sensitivity using statistical tools.
These 5 parameters were further simulated in order to identify
optimum input values, resulting in minimum percentage error
for the difference between observed and simulated queue lengths.
The calibrated parameters were successfully validated using 23
signalized intersections in Colombo and Gampaha Districts and
these parameter values can be used in future traffic and
transportation micro simulation studies. |
