| Abstract: | The urban centres of developing countries lack basic and adequate traffic data for urban transport studies. This paper builds a model for generating the required traffic data and calibrates the model with data from Barnsley, U.K., a medium-sized urban centre in the developed environment. The result indicates a good fit for intersection flow prediction and a rather poor fit for link flow prediction. Some methods of improving the fit are identified, and the usefulness of the model in intra-urban traffic studies is discussed. |
