The real world application is to develop a reliable single or dynamic set of parameters that could be calibrated and applied to both fixed and mobile cameras to be used under all conditions. Combined with automated analysis tools, a wide-scale application of automatically calibrated video tracking could provide researchers with a comprehensive database from which surrogate safety measures could be calculated.  The first portion of this paper finds a strong correlation between traffic counts and the measure of tracking performance (MOTA), as well as a correlation of up to -0.879 in the computation of MOTA for certain parameters using Spearman's rank correlation. The second portion deals with the question of overfitting. While the results, as expected, are found to be optimal on the sequence on which the calibration was done, there were still improvements in both an independent dataset and in both near and far objects from the camera. The third portion  introduces the concept of transferability of sets of parameters optimized on one specific video sequence. Parameters for summer sequences are demonstratively not applicable to winter conditions as results for this sequence did not surpass a MOTA of 0.150 unless specifically optimized for.
