1.0 Purpose of Calibration
The purpose of this microsimulation model is to investigate the effectiveness ofproposed alternatives. Microsimulation models can be reliable tools for alternative evaluationwhen the base model replicates real world conditions. The calibration process ensures a levelof accuracy for base year microsimulation models. Calibration also allows for the comparison offield data, gathered from the existing transportation network, to simulated data gathered fromthe existing condition model. When data from the computer model falls within a set calibrationlimits of the data gathered from the field, that model can be considered calibrated.
2.0 Seeding Interval
A seeding interval is the time period necessary for a microsimulation model to fill anetwork with a representative vehicle volume. The proper length of a seeding interval dependson the size of the model and complexity of the traffic control systems. Data gathered before thisperiod would be invalid for drawing analytical conclusions given an insufficient vehicle volume.To determine the seeding interval for the I-390 Existing Condition Models, 5 simulation runs withdifferent random number seeds were completed. From these runs the total volume within thenetwork was reported every 60 seconds from 0 seconds to 5000 seconds. The results weregraphed (network volume vs. time). Next an average seeding time was determined from thosegraphs. As shown in Figures 2.1 and 2.2 the volume grows quickly in the first few seconds asvehicles enter the model. As time passes, the rate of increase in total network volume declinesas the introduction of vehicles into the model draws closer to its output. The time where thecurve of the graph levels out is indicates how long the model needs to fully seed the network.This point is determined by inspection. The seeding period was determined to be around 400seconds for the I-390 Existing Condition Models.
The PM seeding chart Figure 2.2 indicates that the network is under strain from the peakhour volume, showing an ever increasing network volume. This suggests that the vehicle flowinto the network is at a higher rate than the flow out of the network. This indicates that thecurrent demand exceeds capacity within the project limits during the peak period, which is aknown to be an issue for this system.

3.0 Simulation Runs
It can be a complex task to determine the number of runs necessary to performcalibration , especially when a model has numerous variable parameters. The Traffic AnalysisToolbox Volume III: Guidelines for Applying Traffic Microsimulation Modeling Software (FHWA-HRT-04-040) by the FHWA recommends that a standard deviation approach be used, wherethe model is run multiple times to determine the standard deviation of parameters of interest.Then, using a desired confidence interval and calculated standard deviations from the initialruns performed, the number of runs necessary to account for the stochastic variation in themodel can be determined.
A desired confidence interval of 99% was selected for the I-390 Existing ConditionModels. Several percent differences from the field measured values were used to assess thenumber of required runs. Plus or minus 5%, 10%, or 15% were tested for an acceptablevariation of the average model values from field observed values. Therefore, with a 99%confidence, the number of required runs was determined to obtain an average value within 5%,10%, or 15% of the field measured values.
A total of 5 simulation runs were initially conducted to determine the necessary samplesize. After the 5 runs were completed, standard deviations were calculated and the 99%confidence interval subzone sample sizes were computed. Figures 3.1 & 3.2 illustrate thecomputes sample sizes.
A plus or minus 10% interval is sufficient for the I-390 Existing Condition Models. For thisinterval, with the 99% confidence, 10 simulation runs are required.
4.0 Calibration Limits
With guidance from the FHWA microsimulation guidelines, the following calibration limitswere determined:
-Intersection Volumes (greater than 85% of the cases):
Volumes below 700 vph need to be within 100 vph Volumes between 700 vph and 2100 vph need to be within 15% Volumes above 2100 vph need to be within 400 vph GEH Statistic is less than 5
-Mainline Volumes:
Link volumes are within 5% of the actual sum of all link volumes Link volumes needs to have a GEH Statistic less than 4

5.0 Driver behaviors
The default Driver Behavior settings within VISSIM worked for most of the base networkhowever some sections required adjustments to match field conditions. These driver behaviorsettings control the interaction between vehicles within the network. Settings such as the standstill distance between vehicles and safety reduction factor were adjusted to visually match theactions of vehicles at various locations within the model to observed field behavior. Theseadjustments also allowed modeled vehicles to accurately reflect observed queuing patterns.
5.1 Highway Lane Change:
Driver behavior 6 was created to allow vehicles making necessary lane changes tomaintain their set routing decisions. In the lane change parameters, the reduction rate for thelane changing vehicles was increased from 1 per 200 ft to 1 per 100 ft. Thischange allowed vehicles to decelerate at a higher rate, which in turn allowed for vehicles tochange lanes more effectively. The reduction rate for the trailing vehicles (the vehicle in thelane that the lane changing vehicle want to change to), was increased from 1 per 200 ft to1 per 100 ft. This changed allowed the trailing vehicle to decelerate more quickly and toallow lane changing vehicles into their selected lane. Also the maximum deceleration rate forthe trailing vehicle was increased from 9.84 to 12.01 , allowing the reduction rate tohave a greater effect on trailing vehicles slowing down to let other vehicles merge.
The safety distance reduction factor was increased from 0.60 to 0.30. This reductionfactor reduces the set safety distance by the reduction factor. The default is 0.60 which reducesthe distance by 40%; the modified factor reduces the distance by 70%, which in turn allowsvehicles to get closer during a lane change. This driver behavior is characteristic of aggressivelane changing. This behavior change was used at locations where large volumes had to makelane changes to maintain their set routing.

5.2 Highway Extreme Lane Change:
Driver behavior 7 was created to allow vehicles making necessary lane changes tomaintain their set routing decisions. In the lane change parameters, the reduction rate for thelane changing vehicles was increased from 1 per 200 ft to 1 per 100 ft. Thischange allowed vehicles to decelerate at a higher rate, which in turn allowed vehicles to changelanes more effectively. Also the maximum deceleration rate for the lane changing vehicle wasincreased from 13.12 to 15.12 , allowing the reduction rate to have a greater effecton lane changing vehicles.
The reduction rate for trailing vehicles (those vehicle in the lane that the lane changingvehicle wants to change to), was increased from 1 per 200 ft to 1 per 100 ft. Thischange allowed the trailing vehicle to decelerate at a higher rate and therefore more readilyadmit lane changing vehicles into the lane. Also, the maximum deceleration rate and theaccepted deceleration rate for the trailing vehicle were increased from 9.84 to15.85 and 1.64 to 2.49 respectively, allowing the reduction rate to have agreater effect on trailing vehicles and allowing the trailing vehicle to decelerate more quickly,thus making it easier for lane changing vehicles to merge.
The safety distance reduction factor was increased from 0.60 to 0.05. This reductionfactor reduces the original safety distance by the reduction factor. The default is 0.60 whichreduces the distance by 40%; the changed factor reduces the distance by 95%, which in turnallows vehicles to get closer during a lane change.
The maximum deceleration rate for cooperative braking was increased from 9.84 to 13.39 . The maximum deceleration rate for cooperative braking is defined as the as themaximum deceleration a vehicle will tolerate to accommodate a vehicle making a lane change.By increasing this rate, the trailing vehicle will decelerate more quickly and more readily allowlane changing vehicles to merge.
This driver behavior is characteristic of extremely aggressive lane changing. Thisbehavior change was used at locations where large volumes were forced to merge and divergeto maintain their set routing.
5.3 Close Stacking:
Driver behavior 8 was created to make vehicles stack closely together. This behavior ismostly used for off ramps close to signals and to mimic long queue lengths. The averagestandstill distance in the following parameters was decreased from 6.56 ft to 4.27 ft. Thischange would allow vehicles to stack closer together, thus making queue lengths more visuallyrepresentative of existing conditions.
The minimum headway distance for both the front and rear of a vehicle were decreasedto 1.64 ft from 1.21 ft. The minimum headway distance is defined as the minimum distance tothe vehicle in front of the lane changing vehicle that must be available for a lane change to take

place in the stand still condition. This decrease allows vehicles to change lanes more efficientlywhile in a standing conditions. This behavior change is mostly used at off ramps near signalswere standing conditions occur. Even though the model was designed to minimize the numberof vehicles making lane changes at a signal or in a standing condition, this condition allows thefew vehicles that cannot change lanes prior to the standing condition, to complete their lanechange and maintain routing.
5.4 Urban Lane Change (motorized):
Driver behavior 9 was created to allow vehicles on urban streets to make lane changesmore effectively. This behavior is mostly used around and before signals. The averagestandstill distance was decreased from 6.56 ft to 5.74 ft. This change would allow vehicles tostack more closely together, thus making lane changes and queue lengths more visuallyrepresentative of the existing conditions.
In the lane change parameters the maximum deceleration rate for the trailing vehiclewas increased from 9.84 to 12.01 , allowing the reduction rate to have a greatereffect on trailing vehicles slowing down to let other vehicles merge.
The safety distance reduction factor was increased from 0.60 to 0.30. This reductionfactor reduces the original safety distance by the reduction factor. The default is 0.60 whichreduces the distance by 40%; the changed factor reduces the distance by 70%, which in turnallows vehicles to get closer during a lane change. This driver behavior is characteristic ofaggressive lane changing. This behavior change was used at locations where large volumeshad to make lane changes to maintain their set routing.
5.5 Highway Weave:
Driver behavior 10 was created to allow vehicles to weave more effectively in the majorweave areas. This behavior is extremely important because it allows the network to replicateexisting conditions both in capacity and visually. The CC2 Following Variation was increasedfrom 13.12 ft to 29.99 ft. This parameter restricts the longitudinal oscillation, or how much moredistance than the desired safety distance a driver allows before it intentionally moves closer tothe car in front. This change allows for the creation of gaps in the normal flow of traffic inweaving areas, thus allowing more vehicles to merge.
The maximum deceleration rate for the trailing vehicle was increased from 9.84 to12.99 , allowing the reduction rate to have a greater effect on trailing vehicles slowingdown to let other vehicles merge.
The safety distance reduction factor was increased from 0.60 to 0.10. This reductionfactor reduces the original safety distance by the reduction factor. The default is 0.60 whichreduces the distance by 40%; the changed factor reduces the distance by 90%, which in turnallows vehicles to get closer during a lane change. This driver behavior is characteristic ofaggressive lane changing, which is experienced in weave sections. The changes made to thedefault parameters promote lane changing within the weave area.

5.6 Merge:
Driver behavior 11 was created to allow vehicles on merge sections to make lanechanges more effectively. The average standstill distance was decreased from 6.56 ft to 2.99 ft.This change would allow vehicles to stack more closely together thus making lane changes andqueue lengths more visually representative of existing conditions.
The reduction rate for lane changing vehicles was increased from 1 per 200 ft to1 per 100 ft. This change allowed vehicles to decelerate at a higher rate, which in turnallowed for vehicles to change lanes more effectively. Also the maximum deceleration rate andthe accepted deceleration rate for the lane changing vehicle were increased from 13.12 to14.99 and 3.28 to 6.00 respectively, allowing the reduction rate to have agreater effect on lane changing vehicles and allowing the vehicle to decelerate.
The reduction rate for the trailing vehicles (those vehicles in the lane that the lanechanging vehicle wants to enter), was increased from 1 per 200 ft to 1 per 100 ft.This change allowed the trailing vehicle to decelerate more quickly and to allow lane changingvehicles into its lane. Also, the maximum deceleration rate and the accepted deceleration ratefor the trailing vehicle were increased from 9.84 to 14.99 and 1.64 to6.00 respectively, allowing the reduction rate to have a greater effect on trailing vehiclesand allowing a trailing vehicle to decelerate more quickly to allow lane changing vehicles tocomplete their maneuver.
The safety distance reduction factor was increased from 0.60 to 0.05. This reductionfactor decreases the original safety distance. The default is 0.60 which reduces the distance by40%; the changed factor reduces the distance by 95%, which in turn allows vehicles to getcloser during a lane change.
The maximum deceleration rate for cooperative braking was increased from 9.84 to 20.01 The maximum deceleration rate for cooperative braking is defined as the as themaximum deceleration a vehicle will tolerate in case of cooperative braking, thus allowing avehicle making a lane change into its own lane. By increasing this rate, the trailing vehicle candecelerate more quickly and allow lane changing vehicles to complete their movement.
This driver behavior is characteristic of extremely aggressive lane changing. Thisbehavior change was used at locations where large volumes merge together to maintain theirset routing.

limits. A PASS designation at the end of the row indicates that the volume has met thecalibration requirements. A FAIL designation indicates that the volume has not met thecalibration requirements. In conclusion, the volume data from the microsimulation model lieswithin the calibration requirements, which would indicate that the model is calibrated to theexisting conditions.
7.0 Mainline Speed Calibration
Speed calibration for the Existing Condition Models was done only for mainline I-390where free flow speed data was collected. Table 7-1 and 7-2 are summaries of the mainlinespeeds and their calibration results. These calibration tables include a simple test to indicatewhich speeds pass or fail their calibration limits. A PASS designation at the end of the rowindicates that the speed has met the calibration requirements. A FAIL designation indicates thatthe speed has not met the calibration requirements. In conclusion, the mainline speed datafrom the microsimulation model are within the calibration requirements, which would indicatethat the model is calibrated to the existing conditions.
8.0 Visual Calibration
A critical step in the calibration process involves visual observation. The network ischecked visually to ensure that it functions similarly to observed field conditions. Photos,videos, and field counts were taken during the peak hour to determine queue lengths, volumesfor turns during green phases, and lane changing behaviors.
