Abstract: Abstract The primary purpose of this project1 is to collect data required to adjust the parameters of a traffic model, allowing realistic predictions of the traffic in Atlanta. This project will provide information with a completeness and accuracy which has not been collected elsewhere. The acquired data will serve the traffic simulation as well as providing an empirical basis for future development in traffic modeling. The verified and calibrated traffic flow model will be implemented in a computer simulation program, which then can be used to focus on the development of strategies for improvement of the traffic flow, optimal positioning for driver-information displays, and evaluation of the significance of the drivers’ response rate for the success of control measures.
