Abstract: The deployment of ITS must be assisted by suitable tools to conduct the feasibility studies required for testing the designs and evaluating the expected impacts. Microscopic traffic simulation has proven to be the suitable methodological approach to achieve these goals. This paper discuses some of the most critical aspects of the dynamic simulation of road networks, namely the heuristic dynamic assignment, the implied route choice models, and the validation methodology, a key issue to determine the degree of validity and significance of the simulation results. The paper is structured in two parts, the first provides an overview on how the main features of microscopic simulation have been implemented in AIMSUN, and the second is devoted to discus in detail the heuristic dynamic assignment.

A behavioural car-following model for computer simulation
TL;DR: A new model is constructed for the response of the following vehicle based on the assumption that each driver sets limits to his desired braking and acceleration rates and it is shown that when realistic values are assigned to the parameters in a simulation, the model reproduces the characteristics of real traffic flow.

Verification and validation of simulation models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of verification and validation of simulation models in operations research, focusing on good programming practice (such as modular programming), checking intermediate simulation outputs through tracing and statistical testing per module, statistical testing of final simulation outputs against analytical results, and animation.

A model for the structure of lane-changing decisions
TL;DR: A structure is proposed to connect the decisions which a driver has to make before changing lanes to ensure that the vehicles in traffic simulations behave logically when confronted with situations commonly encountered in real traffic.
