This FHWA-sponsored research project
is intended to investigate the potential for deriving surrogate measures of safety from existing
traffic simulation models. These surrogate measures could then be used to support traffic
engineering alternatives evaluation with respect to safety without costly accident studies or
construction. In addition, the measures available from simulation models are much more
detailed that the subjective measures based on human observers.
Dynamic Assignment - Dynus-T DynusT is one of the leading simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment (SBDTA) models that is currently adopted by 50+ users internationally. We are expanding DynusT research in: mesoscopic simulation, multi-threading/parallel processing techniques, integration with activity based models, modeling of various strategies such as integrated corridor management, pricing, air quality analysis, and evacuation in house and through collaborative effort with other research groups within the U.S. and around the world Surrogate Safety Measures |
