More Refined Diversion Analysis Microsimulation provides a more refined estimate of traffic diversion based upon: Microsimulation provides a more refined estimate of traffic diversion based upon: – Additional Project Information – What-if Scenarios – Interactions With Nearby Links

Now, … Back to Planning

Now Re-Run the Sequence

Phase IV- Field Validation and Calibration Field Validation and Calibration Field Validation and Calibration – Validation- test in locations with completed projects Des Moines, IA Des Moines, IA Phoenix, AZ Phoenix, AZ – Pilot tests- test in locations with project plans Orlando, FL Orlando, FL Worcester, MA Worcester, MA Continued Testing and Code Stabilization Continued Testing and Code Stabilization

DesMoines, Iowa Validation Project Description Project Description – I-235 through DesMoines- reconstruction, median widening, operational improvement WISE Application WISE Application – Parallel Route 6 defined as alternate route – Reconstruction re-defined as 6 segments – 8 scenarios tested

DesMoines, Iowa Validation (cont.) WISE Data Preparation (same as other cases) WISE Data Preparation (same as other cases) – Coded network and TAZ file obtained from travel analysis model (in this case iTRAM) – Links and TAZs for study area selected (in this case using Transcad) – Links and TAZs consolidated to meet WISE limitations – in this case ~ 55; redefine centroids & connectors – Convert all one-way roads to 2-way roads – Re-number centroids and nodes sequentially

DesMoines, Iowa Validation (cont.) – Figure on left: Iowa Code Network 1 – Figure on right: IA I-235 and Route 6 Blowup

DesMoines, Iowa Validation (cont.) Software & GUI Modifications Software & GUI Modifications – Re-write code to preserve user and agency costs for each scenario – Modify user costs comparable to agency costs 8 Scenarios Tested 8 Scenarios Tested – User-supplied 0, 5%, 10%, 20%, 40% – Day or Night construction for 1 segment (4 each) – Public information strategies for 3 segments – Shorten time for 1 segment with 10% > cost

DesMoines, Iowa Validation (cont.) Highlight Findings: Outputs performing in directions and approximate ranges expected Highlight Findings: Outputs performing in directions and approximate ranges expected – Total user cost for diversion > where diversion > and limited route options available – Total user cost declines with night construction

Phoenix, AZ Validation The Phoenix program of projects includes six projects: The Phoenix program of projects includes six projects: – A: 202L Red Mountain Fwy – 101L to Gilbert Rd. 3 ln fwy, adding HOV Lane – B: 202L Santan Fwy – I-10 to Gilbert Rd. 3 ln fwy, adding HOV lane, HOV directional ramps at I-10 and 101L – C: SR 101 HOV Addition – SR 202 Red Mountain to Princess Dr. – D: Twin Peaks T.I. – I-10 at MP 245 Add traffic interchange to I-10 / MP 245 for access to I-10 from Teaks Peaks Rd. – E: I-10 Kino Blvd to Valencia Rd – F: 202 Red Mountain Design Build –Addition of EB:I-10 to 101, WB 101 to Scottsdale Rd WISE Application WISE Application – 202 (approx. 14 miles long) and 101 (approx. 15 miles long) corridors are freeways with limited access – Interchanges are predominantly closer than one mile – Each corridor represented by dozens of key roadway segments.

Orlando, FL Pilot Test (cont.) Highlight Findings: Highlight Findings: – Increased user cost when diversion forced, with no viable alternate routes – Total user cost declines with night construction – Same user costs when no viable alternate routes available, without the intervention of night construction

Worcester, MA Pilot Test Project Description Project Description – Reconstruction of 4 areas along Route 9: re-docking or replacement of bridges, intersection improvement WISE Application WISE Application – Washington Square traffic circle defined as intersection – I-290 coded as 2-way intersections instead of interchange Data Preparation- Same steps as other pilot and validations Data Preparation- Same steps as other pilot and validations

Worcester, MA Pilot Test (cont.) Highlight Findings: Highlight Findings: – Simultaneous construction of neighboring projects increases congestion and makes diversion more difficult – Total user cost declines with night construction
