Traffic Assignment 2
Type 1 Given: – Network – Cost (Impedance) Request – Short Path Tree – Short Path Sketch 3
Example 1 Find the shortest paths from node 1 to all other nodes
Node ( j )Total Impedance to Node j Node Preceding j Tree table from Node 1 5
Sketch of tree
Type 2 Given: – Short Path Tree Table – Cost (Impedance) Request – Short Path Sketch 7
Example 2 Use the following minimum tree table from node A to sketch the minimum tree including showing the travel time. (Employ short path method) Node (j)Total Impedance to Node jNode Preceding j A0- B 11C C 2A D 8C E 14B F 10C G 7 A H G I 15F J 25I K 18I L 15G 8

Example 1 In a study, the spot speeds of seven vehicles were observed to be 35, 25, 30, 25, 40, 40, 25 and 20 miles/hour, respectively. Calculate the time mean speed (TMS) and space mean speed (SMS). 18
time mean speed (TMS) u tms = 1/n ∑ v i u tms=( )/8= 240/8=30 (miles/hour) 19
