Presentation Transcript


  1. How Open Source Helps Your Projects? • Majed Al-Ghandour, Ph.D., PE, CPM • Program Development Branch • NCDOT • NCAMPO 2012 Conference • Asheville, NC • May 2 - 4, 2012

  2. Presentation Outline • What is the Open Source? • Tour with Open Source Software - Examples • DynusT (Dynamic Urban Systems in Transportation) • Closing

  3. Open Source Licenses • My understanding is that “open source” licenses such as GNU GPL3 don’t necessarily require that the software be “free” in terms of not charging for it.  • They just require that • (a) the source code always be distributed with the executable, and • (b) that anyone who receives the software cannot make it proprietary.    • Check your legal team to provide an open source license.

  32. DynusT(Dynamic Urban Systems in Transportation) • Regional Operational Planning Capability • Regional - area larger than corridor • Operational - traffic flow dynamics sensitive to signals, road configurations • Planning - short-term impact and long-term equilibrium • Simulation • Mesoscopic Traffic Simulation • Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) • Micro-meso-micro integration

  39. What is Dynamic Traffic Assignment? • A method to predict/estimate how trip-makers may shift to other routes or departure time in response to: • Congestion • Pricing • Controls • Incidents • Improvements • Understand how individual travel decisions impact an entire region, by • Time of day • Origin-Destination (OD) zones • Transportation modes

  40. Macro Meso Micro Proposed toll lanes Analyze Ingress/Egress points for weaving Estimate toll lane usage and revenue Macro-Meso-Micro Integration • Macro • Travel Demand Models (TDM) • Micro • e.g. VISSIM Source: http://dynust.net/wikibin/doku.php?id=start:new_page2

  42. Other Freeway Operations Scenarios/Strategies • Dynamic message signs • Congestion warning • Mandatory detour • Speed advisory • Information strategies • Pre-trip information • In-vehicle information • Incident • Work zone • Managed lanes • Truck only • Truck restriction
