Cadyts – Calibration of Dynamic Traffic Simulations

Cadyts estimates disaggregate demand models of dynamic traffic assignment simulators from traffic counts and vehicle re-identification data. The tool is broadly applicable in that it (i) makes only very mild assumptions about the calibrated simulator's workings and (ii) allows for various modes of technical interaction with the simulation software.
