This paper discusses the application of the network traffic simulation model INTEGRATION to a 35-km section of Highway 401 in Toronto, Canada. Results for the eastbound direction from 4 a.m. to 12 noon are presented. Existing freeway conditions are quantified using data from the COMPASS freeway traffic management system and from a floating car travel time survey. Variations that exist in observed link flows and trip travel durations over time of day and day of week are examined. The extent to which COMPASS data meets the data requirements of the INTEGRATION model is examined. Since the current COMPASS system encompassed less than 50% of the network analyzed, complications arise in accurately estimating the prevailing time-varying origin–destination demands, as well as in comprehensively validating the simulation model's results. The present level of model calibration results in a correlation coefficient of estimated and observed link flows of 97.23%. This level of discrepancy is generally within the natural day-to-day variations that are inherent within the system. However, travel times estimated by the simulation model tend to be underestimated, particularly for the express lanes. Further model calibration, to improve the model's results, is deferred until more of the network is covered by COMPASS. Key words: traffic simulation, COMPASS, model calibration, model validation, speed–flow relationship.

Development of high-speed railways set up challenges for new communication technologies. With the increase in speed, new requirements for communication systems have emerged that HSR requires greater reliability, capacity and shorter response time for efficient and safe operations. Mobile communication systems are crucial for the competitiveness of the railway industry and therefore have become one of the priorities addressed by the participants in the railway system to take advantage of technological opportunities to improve operational processes and the quality of provided transport services. The European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) uses the Global System for Mobile Communications for Railways (GSM-R) for voice and data communication to communicate between trains and control centers. The International Railway Union is exploring new ways of communicating for high-speed railways because as speed increases this system becomes unreliable in information transmission. This paperwork presents an analysis of the evolution of communications on European railways since the usage of GSM-R. In addition, an overview of the various alternative solutions proposed during the time (LTE-R, Future Railway Mobile Communication System) as possible successors to GSM-R technology is given.
