What type (types) of traffic modelling would be required to achieve the objective stated by X-Construct? Objective: Assessment of future population growth, traffic generation and distribution of the proposed development as well as other developments within the South-West Sydney area affecting the proposed development. Select one: O a. Macroscopic Model b. Mesoscopic Models C. Microsimulation models

Solution

First question :

Answer : Mesoscopic Model

Mesoscopic models analyze transportation elements in small groups, within which elements are considered homogeneous.

Second Question :

Answer : Under standing the merge behaviour at an on ramp of a freeway. ( P.S : correctly suggested by my friend)

Microscopic models study individual elements of transportation systems, such as individual vehicle dynamics.
