TRANS Model – Lessons Learned Emme Users’ Conference in Ottawa-Gatineau October 23rd 2008
Past and Present • Former ‘Transition Model’ • Current TRANS Model
Network Coding • Links • shapefiles for road, Transitway, pathway segments • 500,000+ segments for Ottawa alone • Traffic zones and nodes • organized in a geographically meaningful way
Network Coding • A possible solution for future network-building
Transit Coding • Local vs Express vs Rural Express • Inbound Fare Rule - regular fare collected on express buses between Dominion and Hurdman in morning peak period
Transit Coding • Node boarding penalty @nboa • Line boarding penalty @tboa @nboaEXP = z-y @tboaEXP = x+y R E @tboaREG = x @nboaREG = z
Transit Coding • Transitway stations with multiple levels and/or large walking distances between platforms: • St. Laurent • Blair • Lincoln Fields • etc…
Macro Coding • Moved from single-line, single command macros to compound macro coding with loops • Time saved in coding, debugging, and understanding macros • Much smaller macro files
