Note, however, that simulation model outputs have not been fully validated against real-world driving conditions.

... Drive Schedules and OMDs 31 3. Set up and run a microsimulation model of the project situation to be modeled and use the vehicle trajectories output by the model (the only option for developing future-year conditions different than base-year conditions)
From page 32...
... 32 Guide to Truck Activity Data for Emissions Modeling Simulation models require a large amount of input data and considerable effort to validate the data and manipulate calibration parameters. However, simulation models are the only way of directly forecasting drive cycles under project conditions.
