Calibration of Microscopic Traffic Flow Simulation Models considering Subsets of Links and Parameters

Table 6

Calibration results when selection of the mean queue discharge headway and mean start-up lost time was mutually exclusive.

Percentage of links selected with mean queue discharge headway	Percentage of links selected with mean start-up lost time	NRMS	Individual link flows			Relative difference between total actual and simulated counts (%)	GEH statistic for individual link flows
			<700 veh/hr (%)	700 to 2700 veh/hr (%)	>2700 veh/hr
