• Presentation #1 - Traffic SImulation in the 1970s and 1980s

This presentation will identify the computing challenges of the 1970s and 1980s and describe how they shaped the development of early traffic simulation models. FHWA’s vision to address these challenges will be described along with the variety of models that were created as a result. The major contributors and visionaries of the era will also be identified along with their contributions.

• Presentation #2 - Traffic Simulation in the 2000s

• Presentation #3 - Current Initiatives, Recent FHWA-sponsored TAMS Research - Trajectory-Level Data
