Calibrating and Validating Deterministic Traffic Models: Application to Highway Capacity Manual Control Delay at Signalized Intersections

Calibration and validation of traffic models are processes that depend on field data that are often limited but are essential for determination of inputs to the model and assessment of its reliability. Quantification and systematization of the calibration and validation process expose statistical issues inherent in the use of such data. Formalization of the calibration and validation process naturally leads to the use of Bayesian methodology for...
