Model Input • Dollar Value • Dollar value of time • Accident costs • Fuel costs • Emission costs 4-1
Model Input • Equipment and Costs • Discount rate 4-2
Model Input • Equipment and Costs (Con’t) • Equipment and unit costs for incident management, DMS, and HAR 4-3
Modeling Procedure • Overall Structure • Deployment • Performance measures and benefits • Costs • Benefit/Cost ratio 4-4
Example of Modeling Procedures • Travel Time • Loop over all the analysis periods • Calculate the traffic volume during the study period • Prepare the calculation of travel time on alternative route • Calculate incident delay and total time savings • Save the performance and benefits for each analysis period 4-5
Performance Measures and Benefits • Safety • Loop over all the analysis periods • Calculate number of fatalities, injuries, PDO • Calculate accident costs • Save the performance and benefits for each analysis period 4-6
Performance Measures and Benefits • Fuel Consumption • Loop over all the analysis periods • Calculate vehicle miles in queue and fuel consumption in queue • Calculate fuel savings • Save the performance and benefits for each analysis period 4-7
Model Output • Summary of Performance • Incident delay in vehicle-hour • Number of accidents • Fuel consumption in gallons 4-8
Model Output • Summary of Performance (Con’t) • Emissions in grams • Number of road ranger activities 4-9
Model Output • Summary of Annual Benefits for Each Period 4-10
Model Output • Summary of Benefits and Costs 4-11
Assessment Elements • Performance modules (emission, fuel consumption, safety, TT) • ITS impacts • ITS costs • Dollar values of benefits
Time-of-Day • Analysis can be conducted using Daily and Time-of-Day Model • The benefits for each analysis time period calculated separately and summed to produce the total • For peak period models, modules are applied to each period module and the benefits are summed. • For daily models, period-specific multiplication factors utilized to convert the daily link volume to analysis period volumes • default factors derived on data from Broward County state roads.
Performance Measures • Vehicle miles of travel (VMT); • Vehicle hours of travel (VHT); • Average speed; • Number of accidents • Fatality • Injury • Property damage only • Fuel Consumption (gallons) • Monetary benefits to users and/or agency, as appropriate • Emission (gm) • Hydrocarbon • Carbon monoxide • Oxides of Nitrogen
Benefit Evaluation Methods • A method developed for each component • Review and assessment of methods used in evaluation tools • Review of literature • Default ITS impact parameters derived based on a review of previous evaluation studies, USDOT benefit database and the values used in existing ITS sketch planning tools. • The user will be able to change the default ITS impact parameters and perform sensitivity analysis.
ITS Cost • The cost information include the number and types of equipment required for each type of evaluated ITS deployment • The cost information include initial cost, operation and maintenance cost, estimated interest rate, and life time of each equipment • Based on information from ITS agencies collected in a previous FDOT effort and information collected in this study • User can change the defaults and is encouraged to do this based on projects at hand
Dollar Values • Travel Time value is 13.45 dollars per person-hour. For commercial vehicles $71.0 per hour based on TTI study. • $3,200,000 per fatal crash, $74,730 per injury crash, and $3,000 per PDO crash • Fuel Consumption $3 per Gallon • Emission using IDAS defaults -$1,774, $3,731, and $3,889 per gallon, for the HC, NOx, and CO pollutants.
Air Pollution Dollar Values • IDAS does not mention the source of the dollar values • Pollution impacts human health and causes ecological and esthetic degradations • Review indicates that IDAS values could be conservative estimates. Thus, they were used in this study.
ITS impact parameters • Default ITS impact parameters derived based on a review of previous evaluation studies, US DOT JPO benefit database and the values used in existing ITS sketch planning tools. • The user will be able to change the default ITS impact parameters and do sensitivity analysis.
Safety Module • IDAS model modified for Florida conditions • v/c versus PDO, injury, and fatality crash rate per MVM
