This paper deals with the CORSIM (Corridor Simulator) interval-based simulation model and its application to traffic operations analysis. It explains how with CORSIM, each vehicle is a distinct object moving every second and how its kinematic properties as well as status are updated every second. The authors propose that the driving behavior represented by speed distributions over different driver types should be built in CORSIM in order to reflect more realistic patterns of driving behavior. Simulation analysis is used to demonstrate the impact of the driver distribution to freeway capacity.
