Abstract

This paper proposes a simple validation procedure that combines qualitative and quantitative assessments. The aim is to simplify the task of validation and still produce reliable results. By applying the procedure to the Nomad microscopic model it was revealed that parameter sets calibrated with flows that expose pedestrians to different situations and optimized with several calibration assessments (multi-objectives) are more accurate and present more realistic pedestrian behaviour. It also showed that for some parameter sets the model performed significantly better when simulating unidirectional flows than bidirectional flows or than a congested flow through a bottleneck. This result implies that validations using only one type of flow (especially if it is a unidirectional) are not reliable in respect of the general use of the parameter set.
