The results from the application of two macroscopic (FREQ, KRONOS) and two microscopic (Integration, VISSIM) traffic simulation models on the same freeway network are presented. The data were collected contemporaneously on a heavily congested 15-mile section of H-1 Freeway in Honolulu, HI. The models were calibrated so that field-collected speeds at five cross sections were replicated adequately. The models were applied to evaluate a $50 million freeway widening project which was constructed between 2004 and 2006. Model predictions on the savings of the widening varied widely.
