Description
Summary:This paper presents the validation process of a microscopic single lane urban traffic simulator. The simulator was developed in Matlab and calibrated with experimentally obtained traffic data. It handles real traffic situations in urban environment. The validation is performed in order to determine the extent of conformity of the model i.e. simulator with the real traffic stream in urban environment. The process itself is based on qualitative and quantitative comparative analyzes of the model parameters and experimentally obtained traffic stream parameters. The results extent our previous research and confirm the flexibility and engineering utility of the simulator in the domain of traffic analyses and planning.
