Abstract
In developed countries, traffic microsimulation is already a widely accepted tool for the evaluation and assessment of alternative design schemes, e.g. for different signal timing plans for a road network. However, for developing countries, replicating heterogeneous and non-lane based traffic in a microsimulation model is gaining increased importance and still remains a challenge. The present study demonstrates a methodology to calibrate vehicle class-wise driver behavior in an urban Indian scenario using data from a midblock section and an intersection approach in Kolkata. The study area was modeled using the VISSIM microscopic simulator. The sensitive parameters affecting the driver behavior are identified for every vehicle type using latin hypercube sampling, taking vehicle specific travel time as a performance measure. Further, a single criteria and multi criteria calibration approach based on a genetic algorithm is highlighted in this paper.
