Abstract

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) is committed to maintaining safety on Georgia?s roadways and providing an efficient, cost-effective transportation system. Often, this requires the analysis of transportation facilities, such as a single intersection, an arterial corridor, a freeway interchange, etc. Where analytical tools such as the Highway Capacity Software? (HCS), SYNCHRO?, etc. do not adequately represent traffic operations within a study area, or do not provide the necessary performance metric(s) required for the analysis, detailed simulation or similar approaches may be required. In such cases GDOT typically employs VISSIM? as the preferred transportation modeling tool. VISSIM?, a microscopic simulation tool, can be a powerful resource for project analysis; however, with its use comes many complexities and challenges not found in analytic modeling tools. As such, this project develops guidance material that enhances GDOT?s ability to review and utilize VISSIM? models.
