Stationary detectors are widely used in the urban area, such as loops and traffic cameras, providing with aggregated macroscopic quantities as well as individual pass-by records that could reveal the cluster features of the traffic flow. The paper proposes a multi-lane platoon based (MLP) model that can be calibrated with stationary data. A steady-state analysis is conducted to derive the model’s internal capacity constraints (ICC). It is proved in the validation that the ICC mechanism could effectively decrease 60% of the unnatural boundary controls in the simulation system.
