MODELLING VIETNAM’S EXPRESSWAY NETWORK Presented by: Ms. Le Thi Lan Bizdev.asia
Summary • Presentation by consultant • Recently worked on an ADB assignment supporting the Vietnam Expressway Management Office • Good progress with a GIS • Next step is traffic modelling • Joined this seminar to tell you about our progress using GIS for a national network, and to learn about traffic modelling

Data Management by GIS Objective: • Management of data on expressway alignments, sections, interchanges, toll gates, traffic volumes, implementation status, numbering system, parties involved etc. • Single source of data available to decision makers, Ministry staff • Publishing GIS data through a website shares information with potential investors, consultants carrying out studies, Government staff, the media and the public • The GIS network model potentially forms a basis for traffic modelling
Data Management by GIS Data fields: • Expressways: • Expressway alignment data in uniform coordinate system • Attribute data: Length, status, developer, designer etc. • Interchanges • National highways: • Complete road network • Status of planned widening of NH1 which is the key North-South artery • Traffic count data • Tollgate locations and details • Traffic video • Others (Reference) • Industrial Zones • Airports • Major Ports
Challenges in data collection • No existing system for management of expressway data • Data held by multiple sources (Ministry, developers, consultants etc.) • Data often in spreadsheets (not geo-referenced), or in various coordinate systems • Data changes (alignment, ICs etc.) during project life cycle from masterplan to detailed design • Implementation schedule is continuously changing
Website Overview • Data exported from GIS • Uses Google Maps as background • Google license terms (must be public access) • Data in layers which can be turned on and off by the viewer • Zoom limit applied
Website Menu • Menu – layers can be turned on or off
Website address • The website can be seen at: http://www.vn-project.com/
An expressway traffic model • Previously traffic models in Vietnam have been created by JICA projects using STRADA, but have some disadvantages • Software is not in general use by international consultants • Reliability / credibility of model and results • Very few people can use / have access to data • VEMO wants to be able to own and operate it’s own model for scenario studies, revenue analysis, feasibility study
Next steps • Develop rough traffic model • Continue to refine the model • Carry out in-house studies • Issue the model to investors / consultants as a base model in their detailed studies • Use the model to review feasibility study results • Use the model to monitor forecast and actual diversion ratios / traffic volume / revenues
