The classification of vehicle types and their attributes for various traffic modelling exercises is a common occurrence. The increasing use of microsimulation packages, which are based on modelling individual vehicles through the road network, points to the importance of having proper vehicle attributes specified in order to achieve the modelling results that match real-life conditions. / The use of a customised vehicle fleet instead of the default types that are usually built into microsimulation software will allow more accurate estimation of traffic performance indicators, such as speeds, travel times, capacity, fuel consumption etc. Most notably the accurate classification of vehicles is essential for reliable vehicle emissions modelling to occur, since the type and fuel used by vehicles has a significant effect on their emissions performance. To this end there are a number of databases that can be used for vehicle classification, these include but are not limited to: Australian Bureau of Statistics Motor Vehicle Census Data; Austroads Vehicle Classifications; Fleet composition models produced by Bureau of Transport Economics. / This thesis describes the development of the customised vehicle fleet to be used in Paramics microsimulation modelling package by Quadstone in the UK. Vehicle fleet profiles were developed for South Australian urban and rural conditions based on Australian Bureau of Statistics Motor Vehicle Census data and supplemented with other sources of vehicle kinematics and physical characteristics. / Thesis (MEng(TransportSystemsEng))--University of South Australia, 2005
