8. Passenger Trip Distribution • Gravity model • Short distance trips use short distance highway skims • Long distance business trips use long distance highway skims • Fratar Model • Other long distance trip purposes

9. Passenger Auto Occupancy Model • Convert person trip to vehicle trips • AOC rates for different trip purposes

10. Freight Truck Estimation • Freight Trucks • Tonnages associated with long-haul transportation • Commodity groups • Employment and population data • Non-Freight Trucks • Truck volumes in urban areas • Vehicle classes (light, medium, and heavy) • Default parameters with adjustments

12. Commodity Flow Distribution • Impedance Function f = e(-cVij) Where Vi,j= Impedance between origin (i) & destination (j) (time, distance, or composite) c= Commodity specific constant

13. Freight Mode Choice • Allocate commodity flows of each commodity group • Modes included: • Truck • Intermodal Rail (IR) • Carload Rail (CR) • Air • Water • Convert truck tons to number of trucks

14. Non-Freight Trucks • Follow Quick Response Freight Manual (QRFM) • Use employment and household information for trip generation • Standard gravity model for distribution • Impendence function – travel time f = e(-ctij)

15. Joint Trip Assignment • Long distance auto trips and heavy trucks are assigned first Using “All-or-Nothing” assignment • Long distance auto trips and heavy trucks PCEs are used as a ‘preload’ for short distance trip assignment • Short distance autos, medium and light trucks are assigned using the Multimodal – Multiclass Assignment (MMA) method • Post processing

23. System Configuration – WSH • Windows Script Host • Version 5.6 is required for passenger trip generation programs • Comes with Windows XP/2000 • May not properly installed • How to check 1 • Check c:\windows\system32 and look for wscript.exe and cscript.exe • Go to C:\FSUTMS\co\FLSWM\Applications\FSUTMS and find test.vbs

24. System Configuration – WSH • How to check 2 • Windows Explorer Tools Folder Option File Types

25. System Configuration – WSH • Double click on test.vbs in Windows Explorer • In DOS window, type cscript test.vbs

26. File Structure • Comply with FSUTMS New Standards • C:\fsutms\co\FLSWM • Applications – script files and GEN programs • Archive – old passenger/freight script files • Base – base year input and output files • Doc – model documentation • Future – future year scenario (not used) • Media – pictures, drawings, etc. • Parameters – spdcap tables, vfactors, etc. • Shapes – GIS shape files

27. File Structure – More Details • Applications • Assignment – script files for joint assignment • Freight – script files for freight model • FSUTMS – passenger trip generation input (ZDATA files and control files) • Passenger - script files for passenger model • Userprgs – actual fortran programs for passenger trip generation model

28. File Structure – More Details • Base • EC2030 – future year scenario • Input – input files for both passenger and freight models • Long Dist Mat 2000 – base year long distance matrices • MCInput - mode choice model input files for freight model. This is the directory where the FORTRAN based freight mode choice program is run. • Output – model generated output files

30. NETWORK Module • Convert VFACTORS file to a lookup table • Convert SPDCAP table to a lookup table • Incorporate SPDCAP and Toll info onto the Network • Add toll plazas to network nodes • Skim the network

31. Highway Network Link Attributes

32. Highway Network Link Attributes (Con’d)

33. Highway Network Node Attributes

34. Network Module – Toll Model • Toll road coding TOLL_PLAZA=1 A B TOLL_ACC=1 TOLL_PLAZA=1 A B TOLL_DEC=1

35. Network Module – Toll Model • Toll Costs • Toll costs in minutes • Calculated on a per mile basis • Different units costs for urban & rural areas • Urban areas: $0.15/mile • Rural areas: $0.06/mile • Formula • TOLLMINUTES= $Toll Costs x CTOLL x 60 where Toll costs: toll x distance, $ CTOLL: constant time value of toll, hr/$ 60: convert hours to minutes

36. Highway Free Flow Skims • Different impedance variables for short distance and long distance trips • Short distance trips – travel time SKTM = FFTIME + TERMTIME [I] + TERMTIME[J] Intrazonal time = 0.5 [average of nearest 3 neighbors] • Long distance trips – distance • Output – XSKIM.mat • 4 Tabs SKTIM , DISTANCE, SHORT, LONG
