The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is hosting a 90-minute webinar to explore how DOTs use operational traffic simulation models in practice.

Operational traffic simulation models are powerful tools that help transportation agencies improve planning, design, and real-time operations. Understanding how state DOTs develop, manage, and apply these models can enhance consistency, reliability, and decision-making across projects.

Presenters will share examples of how simulation modeling supports real-world transportation projects, and discuss lessons learned from Virginia’s policies and practices for traffic operations analysis.

Webinar Agenda:

• Policies & practices for traffic operations analysis in Virginia
• Overview of DOT practices for operational traffic simulation models
• Balancing precision & pragmatism: Lessons from the I-270 EIS Simulation Strategy
• Q&A Session (moderated by MoDOT's Ryan Hale)

Learning Objectives:

• Describe general DOT practices for operational traffic simulation models
• Identify applications of operational traffic simulation models & conditions
• Consider tradeoffs between precision & data availability
  
  

Complimentary registration is available for employees of TRB sponsors, standing technical committee chairs, involved CRP panel members, tribal government employees, media, congressional staff, & TRB or National Academies staff.
