3.-4. Base and Future Model Microscopic simulation: • a software tool to model traffic system, including roads, drivers, and vehicles, in fine details. Micro-simulation models • PARAMICS, VISSIM, AIMSUN2, CORSIM, MITSIM … Micro-simulation applications • Evaluate traffic flow and performance improvements for multiple investment types, including expansion, operational improvements, and ITS • Develop and evaluate new traffic models, algorithms, control strategies I-5 Orange County I-405 Network

6. Recommendations Short to Medium Range • Transportation Management Systems • Intelligent Transportation Systems • Transit Systems • Operational Improvements (aux lanes, ramps) • Maintenance (pavement) • Arterials Long Range • Operational Improvements • Capital Improvements (interchanges) • Expansion (freeway, transit, arterials)
Example of Recommended Improvements Transportation Management System • Widen ramps (increase storage) • Convert HOV bypass lanes to metered lanes • Connector metering (reduce demand) • Central control adaptive ramp metering (SWARM) Operational Improvements • Auxiliary lanes • Minor geometric modifications • Interchange modifications • Arterial connections/transitions
Example of Recommended Improvements Freeway to Freeway Connector Ramp Metering NB-57 to WB-210 Connector Ramp
Example of Recommended Improvements Freeway to Freeway Connector Ramp Metering EB-105 to NB-605 Connector Ramp (Metered) 2300 vph Mainline Speed 70 mph 720 vph 20 mph Ramp Flow
Example of Recommended Improvements Central Control Adaptive Ramp Metering (SWARM)
Example of Recommended Improvements Central Control Adaptive Ramp Metering (SWARM) • 2001 initial application test • Speed improvements (10 to 20% in peak hour) • Travel time improvements (15% in peak hour) • Mainline flow increase (5% in peak hour) • Ramp flow decrease (5%) • Ramp queue increase (20%) • 2007/2008 application test • Widen ramp storage • Queue detection control (queue does not exceed ramp) • Fwy to fwy connector metering control • Rates based on downstream bottlenecks
So What? WB-210 @Huntington Speed Flow Productivity drops by 30% when speeds drop below 30 mph (1 lane equivalent). Productivity picks up when speeds are above 40 mph. 2000 more cars on the freeway will mean 2000 less on arterials (Foothill/Huntington Blvd)
PROJECT DISCUSSION • 2006 Baseline Year • Open to I-215 since July 2007 • Current connector metering project construction 2008 • Good freeway historical data to 2001 • Micro-simulation Model • VISSIM Model • e/o SR-57 to w/o SR-134 only • Westbound AM only; Eastbound PM only • Data needs and collection • Budget and schedule constraints • Freeway simulation only
STAKEHOLDERS Stakeholders Role • Local issues and concerns • Relevant existing studies to consider • Simulation modeling input • Data resources • Review results How • Follow-up workshops
