Fosim was used to generate 'artificial' traffic data to evaluate algorithms that predict travel times with neural networks.

Bliemer, M.C.J., Analytical Dynamic Traffic Assignment with Interacting User Classes - Theoretical Advances and Applications using a Variational Inequality Approach, Delft: Delft University Press Science, 2001

Fosim was used to generate 'artificial' traffic data, specifically, with a large amount of heavy vehicles, in a research project that developed an analytical dynamic traffic assignment model with interacting user classes.

Leeuw, A.M. de, T. Dijker, Traffic Operations at the Zoomland Interchange (Afwikkelingskwaliteit knooppunt Zoomland), Delft: The Delft University of Technology, 1998

Fosim was used to estimate the capacity of several design alternatives for the A4-A58 interchange 'Zoomland'.

Emperical research showed significant differences in car-following behaviour during congested and non-congested conditions. When these findings were used in an experimental version of Fosim, the simulation results for congested flow conditions corresponded far better with reality.

Transpute & TU Delft, Forecast of the Traffic Operations at the Terbregseplein Interchange - Effects of the Project 'Truck Lanes A20 and A16 - 2nd Phase' (Prognose Verkeersafwikkeling Terbregseplein - Effekten van het project 'Vrachtstroken A20 en A16 - 2e Fase' op de Verkeersafwikkeling), Gouda: Transpute, 1995 [In Dutch]

Fosim was used to determine the consequences of separate infrastructure for heavy vehicles at the Terbregseplein interchange. The results were used in a queueing model to assess the consequences for the interchange as a whole.
