Trajectory Data, Calibration and Validation, SUMOAbstract
Trajectory data are great data to work with, since they are the most natural data for traffic. However, they provide considerable challenges when tried to put into a micro-simulation framework such as SUMO. This work here gives an example what had to be done to arrive at a simulation that is driven by these data. Succeeding in this, microscopic tools can be much better tested against real data.
