“…However, most of these works are based on an analytical model (e.g., (J. Liu et al, 2020;Ngoduy et al, 2021;Shen et al, 2006;Shen & Zhang, 2009;Tajtehranifard et al, 2018;Wie et al, 1990)) and very few studies utilize a simulation-based model which either are only microscopic or only mesoscopic (Ameli et al, 2020a;Hu et al, 2018;Mansourianfar et al, 2021;Sbayti et al, 2007;Yang & Jayakrishnan, 2012). Nevertheless, previous studies have demonstrated the superior performance of the simulation-based dynamic traffic assignment (SB-DTA) model (Ameli et al, 2020a), but many open-source (e.g., simulation of urban mobility (SUMO)) and commercial (e.g., Aimsun) traffic simulation software products do not provide SB-DSO traffic assignment algorithms.…”
