Title:

Identifying and Assessing Key Weather-Related Parameters and their Impacts on Traffic Operations using Simulation (Full Report)

Abstract:

The objectives of this study were to identify how weather events impact traffic operations, assess the sensitivity of weather-related traffic parameters in the CORSIM traffic microsimulation model, develop guidelines for using the CORSIM model to account for the impacts of adverse weather conditions on traffic operations, and identify gaps and recommend future research related to CORSIM's ability to model weather events.
