Traffic Backup On I-25 Belen Middle School Susan Kemp, Kenda Meathenia, Robert Kemp
The Plan • TNG Technology • Establish Traffic Flow In North/South Directions (Right/Left, Left/Right, x-axis) • Establish Venue Parking • Establish Venue Connections • Establish Secondary Roadway (Top/Bottom, Bottom/Top, y-axis) • Establish Intersecting Roadways
What Really Happened • Still Used TNG • Found That The Examples Shown In TNG Were Not Always Helpful • Found Out Every Step Had Many Sub-Steps To Make Something Happen • Never Got Off Step 1 • All Instructional Staff Had An Exact Understanding Of Our Problems (Been There, Seen That, Had To Correct That Line Of Thinking Before)
Things To Remember • 1 Mouse Divided By Two People Doesn’t Get The Job Done • Staring At The Screen Doesn’t Make The Task Go Away. When You Don’t Know, Ask. When You Don’t Understand, Ask Again. • Realize That Your Head Will Not Explode No Matter How Much Information Is Thrown At You
What Did We Get Done? • Refined Our Way Of Thinking • Learned Beginning Steps Of Agent Based Modeling • Gained Knowledge To Base Lesson Planning Upon • Got Cars, Made Them Move (In two Directions) • Made Them Go Different Speeds
