• Abstract:
  This report describes efforts taken to develop and calibrate VISSIM models of existing ; concurrent flow lane designs of north- and southbound lanes of I-270 from the interchange at ; I-70 to interchanges on I-495 at Connecticut Avenue in Maryland and Georgetown Pike in ; Virginia. The report describes the data employed within the modeling and calibration efforts, ; including the input data and the data used for calibration. Efforts taken to calibrate and ; evaluate the existing conditions models are presented. The models were calibrated against ; surveyed segment travel times and evaluated against main lane volumes and segment ; densities. Results of the calibration and post-calibration evaluation confirm VISSIM's ability ; to replicate real-world traffic operations along freeways with concurrent flow lanes.
