  1. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Presented By Jim Fennessy Fennessy Associates Michael W Doherty URS Corporation For Model Task Force MeetingOrlando, Florida November 29, 2007

  2. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling • Jim Fennessy: • History and Development • Michael W Doherty: • Application at Florida’s Turnpike

  3. Development History of Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling • CTOLL • UTPS -- UROAD • Toll Facilities Model • Other Miscellaneous Toll Modeling Development • Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling

  4. CTOLL • Conversion of cost to time based upon average income in study area • Equilibrium highway load parameter: ranges from 0.02 (income = $100k) to 0.10 (income = $20k)

  5. CTOLL CTOLL = ( 1248 * IVTT) / ( EIP * INCOME) TIMEC 1248 – factor to convert income in dollars/year to cents/minute (assumes 2080 work hours/year) IVTT – Coefficient for In-Vehicle Travel Time (i.e. : Florida – 0.02) EIP – Expendable Income Percentage (Range : 10 – 35 %) INCOME – Average regional household income TIMEC – Coefficient of Time, Statistical Estimation of Mode & Route Choice based on Survey Data Collected (i.e. : Orlando – 0.0469, Tampa - 0.0492, Jacksonville – 0.0489) Example CTOLL – Jacksonville Region =0.0736, Clay Co =0.0798, St Johns Co =0.0511

  6. UTPS -- UROAD • Up to 20 toll categories • Coded in the TRANPLAN cost field • TOLLS – toll in dollars for each category (converted to time via CTOLL) • SERVT – service time in minutes • Toll links should be coded with zero distance on links to turn off capacity restraint calculation

  7. UTPS – UROADLink Representation D C B B-C Toll Link A

  8. Toll Facilities Model • Current FSUTMS Toll Model • TOLDATA file • CTOLL (overrides any parameter) • A-NODE and B-NODE • Toll in dollars • Service time in minutes : seconds • Toll facility identification • Number of lanes • Toll type ramp (no accel/decel) or barrier

  10. Miscellaneous Toll Modeling Developments • Open Road Tolling (TOLDATA file additional fields) • Discrete Tolls – Toll based upon the number of toll facilities crossed • Toll Avoidance Areas • Help identify use of facility without a paying toll • Is the area an error in coding? • Is the area a close up issue with the tolling scheme?

  11. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling • Latest Toll Collection Methods • Ramp-to-Ramp (Card System) • Barrier • Electronic Tolling (SunPass) • Discount Pricing (Discrete Tolling) • Open Road Tolling • Variable Pricing (X-Lanes) • Flexible for all cases • Software Modifications

  12. B C E F A P Q D R S Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Software Problem: G Toll Pathing : A B C D + 50 D E F G + 75 A B C E F G + 125

  13. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Software Solutions: • Network Restructure • Pseudo Links • Turn Prohibitors / Penalties • Selected Links • Pseudo to Real Links • Assignment by Iteration • Output File – Real Links

  14. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Toll Matrices for Veterans Expressway

  15. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Toll Matrices converted into a comma delimited format for input to TRANPLAN

  16. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Software Output : • Ramp-to-Ramp Detail Report • Volumes • Estimated Revenue • Ramp ID’s • Company Summary • DBF Output for Other Software Interface

  17. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Ramp-to-Ramp Detail Report

  18. Ramp-to-Ramp Toll Modeling Company Summary Report

  19. Florida Turnpike Application • Issues with : • Supporting Survey data for Toll Roads • CTOLL • Overstating short trips on Toll Roads • Sensitivity to Speeds and Capacities

  20. Florida Turnpike Application CTOLL = ( 1248 * IVTT) / ( EIP * INCOME) TIMEC CTOLL = Cost Time in Mode & Route Choice Surveys have shown that the CTOLL varies by Trip Length by Trip Purpose by Income

  21. Florida Turnpike Application CTOLL = (1/VOT) * 0.6

  22. Florida Turnpike Application Investment Grade Model • Zone to Zone Variations • Ramp to Ramp Pathing • Toll versus Free Trips • Costs by Mode by Payment Method Toll Mode Choice Assignment • Variable Volume/Delay Curves • Use of Posted Speeds • Assignment of Toll & Free Trips • Costs by Mode by Payment Method
