Description:

As the transportation system environment grows in complexity, increasing pressure is placed on agencies to identify more innovative and efficient solutions to a wide range of issues. Simulation analysis has become increasingly vital for evaluating these solutions prior to implementation.

Several countries have developed simulation guidelines, but these have not gained recognition in the United States. Numerous State departments of transportation (DOTs) have produced their own simulation protocols, but none have gained nationwide acceptance. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed the content-rich Traffic Analysis Toolbox,1 but this source has not achieved familiarity levels approaching those of the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) or Highway Safety Manual (HSM). Agencies and States are now requesting the development of a national Transportation System Simulation Manual (TSSM) that can provide the necessary guidance to support 21st century traffic analyses.
