Modeling and Calibration of a Mixed Traffic Road Section in VISSIM with Multiple Measure of Effectiveness Through Genetic Algorithm
摘要
Due to the growing economy and population, traffic studies in developing countries like India are becoming more complex, which leads to a need for calibrating the developed models with more than one Measure of Effectiveness (MoE). Three MoEs have been used to calibrate the model in VISSIM, such as travel time ( \(TT\) ), vehicular speed ( \(v\) ) and acceleration (or) deceleration of each vehicle ( \(a\) ). Furthermore, minimum headway distribution ( \(h\) ) and CO2 emission data were extracted from the field for further validation. The model was calibrated using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The objective function was defined with the p-values obtained from two-sampled Kolmogorov–Smirnov test by comparing the field MoEs and the simulated MoEs. After the 93rd generation, a p-value of greater than 0.05 was obtained, indicating a good similarity between the model and the field conditions. The accuracy of all five characteristics has been verified and a satisfactory resemblance has been obtained.
