Derivation of a Reliable and Consistent Volume Delay Functions for Town Road Network Based on Users Feedback

Volume delay function (VDF) of a road network is one of the key elements when running trip assignment in traffic modeling exercises. Often the modeler opts to adjust the tedious road network and trip matrices models while keeping the VDF constant although the later was merely adopted from prevailing...
