Abstract

Random Effect (RE) models are used for analyzing data that are non-independent or when data are characterized by a hierarchical structure. In traffic and highway engineering, RE models have been successfully employed to estimate free-flow speed distributions from data containing observations that are naturally nested according to different levels (i.e. direction, sections, roads). Empirical studies conducted on both urban arterials and rural two-lane highways have shown that RE models, by properly accounting for the survey design, are superior to traditional Fixed Effect (FE) models. However, RE models are non-transferable because of the unknown RE value for roads or road sections belonging to a different network or road of the same network that were not originally used to develop the model.
