Abstract
In this paper a new multi-class urban traffic model is proposed based on the
features of a single-class urban traffic model and the characteristics of a
multi-class freeway traffic model. The heterogeneous traffic flow is
represented using the concept of Passenger Car Equivalent (PCE) for congestion
and free-flow regimes separately. The proposed multi-class urban traffic model
is intended for model-based control applications. The single-class model and
the proposed multi-class traffic model are compared with microscopic simulation
data obtained using the SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) open-source
simulator. The two models are calibrated through optimal parameter estimation
and their performance is evaluated and compared by taking into account the
error index between the models and the simulation data. Simulation results show
that the multi-class model gives a significantly better fit.
