Abstract

This paper presents an analysis and comparison of the modelling concepts related to individual driver behaviour in the above 3 simulators. It describes the vehicle/driver parameters used in each model and illustrates the effects of some parameters on the output results using small hypothetical case study examples. The paper discusses various options and offers recommendations for surrogate measures that can be used to collect information on such behavioural parameters for the calibration of simulation models. It is important to note that the aim of this analysis is to draw conclusions on how individual driver behaviour modelling can be improved in the next generation of microsimulation models, rather than a general qualitative assessment of the models.
