Abstract
In this paper, we present a parameter learning method to reflect the rapidly changing behaviors in the traffic flow simulation process, in which we insert virtual vehicles into the real trajectory data. We come up with a real-virtual interaction model and then we use genetic algorithm to learn some parameters in the model with the purpose to get some specific driving characteristics. Then we propose a real-virtual interaction system to vividly simulate the various interaction behaviors between the real vehicles and the virtual ones. Our results are compared to the existing methods to prove the effectiveness of our presented method.
