The present research work provides a methodology of calibration of the vehicle-following behavior in VISSIM using vehicle trajectory data obtained under non-lane-based mixed traffic conditions. In this context, two access-controlled mid-block sections, one on the multi-lane urban road with six-lane-divided carriageway and the second one with eight-lane-divided carriageway are identified for extracting high-quality vehicle trajectory data. Later, using trajectory data, lane-wise time-space plots were developed for the vehicles’ movement simultaneously in the same lane as well as from adjacent lanes for studying non-lane-based movement.The investigation is carried out by developing a relationship (hysteresis plots) between relative distance versus relative velocity among the leader–follower vehicle for the vehicles in the same as well as in adjacent lane that is nearby position. Hysteresis phenomenon for vehicles under the following behavior is examined.Data about identified potential vehicular pairs are used for calibration of well-known psychophysical car-following models.
