  1. Pseudo Dynamic Traffic Assignment A Duration Based Static Assignment Process

  2. Planning Context: I-285 Strategic Implementation Plan ARC Regional Travel Demand Model • 24-Hour Volumes • Static Assignment Process • 13 County Region • SOV, HOV, Trucks and Transit

  3. Big Leap from Macro to Micro ARC Regional Travel Demand Model 1. Temporal distribution of traffic 2. Better peak period paths • 24-Hour Volumes • Static Assignment Process • 13 County Region • SOV, HOV, Trucks and Transit Microscopic Model VISSIM • 15-Min. Volumes • I-285 Corridor • Traffic Control • ITS Strategies • SOV, HOV and Trucks • Dynamic Traffic Assignment

  4. Overall Modeling Process ARC Regional Travel Demand Model 1. Temporal distribution of traffic 2. Better peak period paths Matrix Variegator • 24-Hour Volumes • Static Assignment Process • 13 County Region • SOV, HOV, Trucks and Transit Mesoscopic Model DTA • 15-Min. Volumes • 13 County Region • SOV, HOV and Trucks • Static Assignment Process • 15-Min. Volumes • 13 County Region • Traffic Control • ITS Strategies • SOV, HOV and Trucks • Dynamic Traffic Assignment Microscopic Model VISSIM • 15-Min. Volumes • I-285 Corridor • Traffic Control • ITS Strategies • SOV, HOV and Trucks • Dynamic Traffic Assignment

  5. Planned Mesoscopic Approach • VISTA • Northwestern University • Only DTA program reported to be able to handle the problem size at the time • Issues encountered: • Data assumptions • Data preparation • Software bugs • Memory intensive • Excessive runtimes • “Plan B” required

  6. Plan B – Options Considered • Successive Static Assignments • Write custom applications to track long trips • Use a different DTA package • Cube Avenue, Dynameq, DynaSMART-P, etc. • Discovered an option in Citilabs software already in the assignment pathload function that enables volumes to be saved in travel time segments

  7. Pathload Option pathload path=TIME, vol[1]=mw[1], time=0-15, vol[10]=mw[1], time=15-30, vol[11]=mw[1], time=30-45, vol[12]=mw[1], time=45-60, vol[13]=mw[1], time=60-75, vol[14]=mw[1], time=75-99999

  8. 60-75 minutes Preload assignment 5 45-60 minutes Preload assignment 4 30-45 minutes Preload assignment 3 15-30 minutes Preload assignment 2 0-15 minutes Pseudo DTA Overview 75 minute trip

  9. Pseudo DTA – Preload Management

Time=0 min Direction of Travel 5 miles 60 miles 000 Total Volume (15-minute) 000 Preload Volume (15-minute) Two-Zone Examples • 60-mile single-lane corridor • Assume capacity of 2000 vph • Assume free-flow speed of 60 mph • Link sub-divided into 5-mile segments in order to see the progression of volume during the PDTA process
