Assessing Managed Toll Lane Operations: Advanced Tools

This report discusses potential tools, such as sketch planning, FITSEVAL integration, macroscopic and microscopic simulations, for assessing managed toll lane operations. It also outlines tasks for an advanced tool project, including literature review, data collection, conversion tool development, and calibration of traffic flow models.

  1. Advanced Tools to Assess Managed Toll Lane OperationsModel Task ForceToll Subcommittee MeetingSeptember 16, 2010

  2. Potential Tools • Sketch planning • FITSEVAL developed for FDOT is currently integrated with SERPM • Based on static assignment • Macroscopic simulation • Dynamic traffic assignment/mesoscopic simulation • Advanced Tools for Freight Corridor Management Project • Microscopic simulation

  3. Advanced Tool Project Tasks • Literature review • Data collection (conventional and ITS) • Development of a conversion tool to convert a statewide model network and matrices to Dynasmart/DynusT format • Development of a procedure to convert the daily trip matrices to time-variant (e.g., 15 minute trip matrices) • Calibrate the traffic flow model of DynusT using ITS data • Illustration of the utilization of the tools to assess the benefits of two advanced strategies (Truck Tool Lanes and ATIS) • Incorporation of post processing modulus for performance measure calculations

  4. Truck/Tool Lane • Dynasmart does not provide the option to specify toll values for trucks that are different from other vehicle types. • Fortunately, enhancements in DynusT overcome this problem. As mentioned before, DynusT is the software used in this study.
