The importance of calibration in modeling vehicle car-following behavior

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the important issues is the safe traffic on the roads and their arrival at their destination without delay and spending less time and energy. For this purpose, by simulating traffic movements in computer programs, the necessary changes are made without spending a lot of time and money, getting the results. In this article, we considered the importance of calibrating input data in the simulation of traffic movements. In this process, several literatures on calibration were analyzed, experimental work was conducted, conclusions were drawn based on the results, and tasks to be carried out at the next stage were determined.
