  1. David Grant Chuck Askin Carl Craft Taylor Frith Geoff Weller Nhu Nguy David Graham Gridlock Avoidance System (G.A.S.)

  2. Project Overview Gridlock Avoidance System (G.A.S.) ODU CS 410/411 presented by David Grant PM

  3. Project Goal • Our main goal is to develop a computer-based simulation model to mimic the behavior of the Hampton Roads Interstate System south of the Mercury Blvd. Interchange to the Battlefield Blvd. Interchange.

  4. Project Sub-goals • We intend to provide city planners and transportation professionals with results that describe their system’s operations at current and modified vehicle flow rates in two formats: statistical and graphical. • This tool is necessary to support the interstate highway system in Hampton Roads which is a critical element to the infrastructure of society in the area.

  5. Project Sub-goals (cont.) • Demonstration simulation of a small segment of the Hampton Roads interstate system for project validation and verification. • Market the project on a consultant basis (what ifs). • Completion by the end of the calendar year 2001 • Y2K compliant software and hardware

  6. Competitive Analysis • Competitors • Other Traffic Simulation products • Strengths • Currently not being used by the local governments or VDOT • Weaknesses • Data must be in a usable format • Different localities maintain their data differently

  7. General Approach

  8. CS 250 Collect and format data for input CS 300u Survey of real-life traffic patterns Marketing research (purse strings) Contractual Aspects

  9. Schedules • Fall Semester 1998 • Spring Semester 1999 • Implementation and Completion Phase

  10. Fall Semester 1998

  11. Fall Semester 1998 (cont.)

  12. Spring Semester 1999

  13. Implementation and Completion

  14. Resources • Personnel • Office • Equipment

  19. Personnel Office Equipment ODU Research Foundation Total Project Cost $ 565,000 $ 78,000 $ 35,000 $ 340,000 $1,018,000 Project Total Costs

  20. Evaluation Methods • During Fall Semester 1998 and Spring Semester 1999, there will be regular status and brainstorming session of the group and sub-groups. • During the implementation and Completion phase we will use accepted SEI standards (formal and one-on-one peer reviews, Test Readiness Reviews, Team Advisory Groups for customer acceptance).

  21. Potential Problems • Not possible to model current/historical traffic • Not possible to complete in time • Inadequate or unavailable data • Too expensive • No buyers • Already on market • Spending cutback

  22. Bibliography • Experts:- Dr. Leathrum (ECE)- Dr. Overstreet (CS)- Mr. Dennis Watson (VDOT)
