  text: "The online fitting of a microscopic traffic simulation model to reconstruct
    the current state of a real traffic\r\narea can be challenging depending on the
    provided data. This paper presents a novel method based on limited\r\ndata from
    sensors positioned at specific locations and guarantees a general accordance of
    reality and\r\nsimulation in terms of multimodal road traffic counts and vehicle
    speeds. In these considerations, the actual\r\npurpose of research is of particular
    importance. Here, the research aims at improving the traffic flow by\r\ncontrolling
    the Traffic Light Systems (TLS) of the examined area which is why the current
    traffic state and\r\nthe route choices of individual road users are the matter
    of interest. An integer optimization problem is derived\r\nto fit the current
    simulation to the latest field measurements. The concept can be transferred to
    any road traffic\r\nnetwork and results in an observation of the current multimodal
    traffic state matching at the given sensor\r\nposition. First case studies show
    promosing results in terms of deviations between reality and simulation."
