title = "Modeling and simulation of unconventional traffic circles",
abstract = "This paper deals with the development of credible and valid simulation models of the Collingwood and Brooklawn circles in New Jersey. The circles are modeled in PARAMICS simulation software. Model development and validation / calibration steps are presented in detail. PARAMICS is amongst the limited number of off-the-shelf simulation softwares that can model unconventional traffic circles. However, it is demonstrated in this paper that the default capabilities of PARAMICS are not sufficient to model statistically valid simulation models of unconventional circles. It is also shown that the Application Programming Interface (API) feature of PARAMICS is required for this purpose. A gap acceptance/rejection binary probit model based on field data is developed and implemented in PARAMICS API. The differences between the simulation results of the API enhanced model and the default PARAMICS model are presented.",
