Any fresh idea needs to be carefully evaluated before real-world deployment to avoid potential risks on the budget and time. And microsimulation approaches have been considered a custom and dependable method for evaluating traffic improvement scenarios in recent decades. Considering available tools in traffic microsimulation software, developing a large-scale well-calibrated model complying with real-world circumstances to some acceptable levels could be challenging and time-consuming, requiring taking some initiatives. This study includes the development of a 34 miles roadway network consisting of 41 signalized intersections in VISSIM software, probing to well-fitting ATM policies and potential combinations of them, and evaluating their deployment through VSSIM's COM interface.</p> ER -
