Microsimulation modelling approach and its application in the field of transportation engineering is widely used by traffic modeller across the world over the past few years, the major advantage of simulation in traffic facilities is that it can be evaluated and conceptualized before implementing in the real world. Transport modeller can enjoy this advantage only if the calibration of the simulation software’s is carried out using a scientific methodology and validation with the field conditions and real-world data. The paper presents a methodology for VISSIM microscopic model development and calibrating and validating by selecting an interurban corridor. This study will discuss the methodology to identify sensitive parameters out of all driving behaviour parameters and how to calibrate sensitive parameters using state-of-the-art techniques. Finally, after validating the model, it is reported, the methodology proposed in this study can be used for any such interurban corridors which will save time and money.
