Demand and Supply Calibration of Dynamic Traffic Assignment Models
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The calibration of dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) models has evolved rapidly over the past decade and has been fueled by the need for applications ranging from long-term planning to real-time traffic operation. Numerous formulations and solution approaches based on either analytical or simulation-based approaches have been introduced. The aim of this paper is the documentation of the existing DTA model calibration approaches for future reference. The literature on the calibration of DTA models can be categorized on the basis of the two major components that need to be calibrated: demand and supply model estimation. Travel behavior modeling and origin–destination demand estimation problems are considered in the determination of demand models. Supply models simulate traffic dynamics, queue formation, dissipation, and spillback in either a microscopic or mesoscopic context. Early DTA model calibration efforts were based on iteration between the two demand and supply components. Recent frameworks have focused on the simultaneous calibration of both components. Therefore, different solution approaches have been addressed with various functional needs and degrees of robustness. This paper summarizes the current understanding of calibration and estimation of all input parameters for a DTA model, reviews the existing literature, and highlights the gaps that need to be addressed in future research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
