Abstract: Abstract Recently, an on-line simulation for traffic flow in urban areas has been presented [1,2]. In this contribution, a framework for on-line simulations of freeways is proposed. It is based on cellular automaton models which are supplemented by real world traffic data stemming from about 2,500 inductive loops distributed over the freeway network of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW). We propose and analyse different methods to tune the simulation with regard to the real world measurements. The possibility of a short-term traffic forecast is discussed.
