摘要：	This study developed a mesoscopic model for the before and after study of MD 200, the Inter-County Connector (ICC). It is in line with recent efforts by the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) in developing effective modeling tools for traffic analysis and travel forecasting. Examples include the I-270 microscopic traffic simulation model and the Maryland Statewide Transportation Model (MSTM). A comprehensive analysis of many emerging issues in transportation operations and planning at the corridor, multi-corridor, and even statewide levels requires the integration of both microscopic simulation model and macroscopic travel demand models. This study bridges such a gap by developing a mesoscopic model that draws strengths from both types of models. The integrated models are capable of capturing detailed traffic dynamics and the impacts of traffic operation improvements.
