Title:	Comparison of Traffic Simulation Models with HCM 2000 Methodology Using Various Traffic Levels under Pretimed Signal Control
End Date:	January 2007
Status:	Completed

Abstract

This study compared CORSIM, SimTraffic, and VISSIM to each other, as well as the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000 methodology using various levels of traffic congestion under pre-timed signalized control. Three comparison scenarios were conducted, which involved using the default parameters, similar (matching) parameters, and calibration parameters.
