  1. Dynamic Tolling Assignment Model for Managed Lanes presented toAdvanced Traffic Assignment Sub-Committee presented byJim Hicks, Parsons Brinckerhoff September 14, 2012

  2. Overview • Prior discussions on Managed Lanes in Florida • Features of Phase I Model • Implementing and Testing Model • Results of Model • Discussion

  3. Conceptual Requirements • Flexible – able to accommodate most “flavors” of managed lanes within a unified approach • Behaviorally Sensitive – Includes variables that are important to selection and use of a managed lane • Policy Sensitive – Has the ability to test different Managed Lane Policies (e.g., tolls, congestion sensitive) • Ease of use – Model implementation compatible with FSUTMS and a reasonable runtime • Understandable – No “black boxes”

  4. Managed Lane “Flavors” • HOV - only • Express Lanes • Truck Only • Reversible lanes • HOT – SOV pay • Dynamic Tolling • Open Road Tolling • Dedicated Facilities • Pre-pay and/or Pay per use (toll booths) • ITS Solutions (Traffic calming, speed advisories, incident management)

  5. Behavioral Variables • Time savings • Cost • Trip Purpose • Income/Value of time • Time of Day • Household Structure (e.g. daycare?) • Employment type (on-time requirements)

  6. Managed Lane Policy Dimensions • Willingness to pay – toll cost per minute saved • Toll Cost – congestion related • Separate managed lanes and general purpose lanes

  7. Data Requirements • Willingness to Pay • Toll Cost as a function of congestion level • Auto Demand • Highway Network

  8. Managed Lane Modeling Development

  9. Managed Lanes Toll Segments

  10. Highway Network Coding Diagram

  11. Toll Cost as a function of Congestion

  12. Toll Market Calculation

Application Flow One Assignment Iteration Phase ILOOP Skim Tolls and times WTP and Toll Policy Curves Define toll segments and initial toll values Phase ILOOP In Jloop, compute toll & nontoll demand Phase ILOOP Assign toll & non-toll in multiclass assignment Phase ADJUST Compute Max VC on toll segments & new toll by segment

  15. Testing Model Implementation

  16. Flow on Managed and General Purpose Lanes

  18. Toll Segments Numbered

  19. Sensitivity to Toll Values for Managed Lanes

  20. Sensitivity to Willingness to Pay Tolls

  21. Adaptations • Fixed Toll – subset of toll policy • Allows multiple toll policies • Allows for multiple markets • income stratified • Purpose Stratified • Can still do accell/decell at toll booths

  22. Strengths • Planning Level Application • No a priori assumption of toll • Assures no congestion on toll facility • Useful tool for evaluating LOS / Revenue Goals • Testing toll policies • Customized for WTP

  23. Weaknesses • No mode shift assumed from transit • Congestion represented in daily assignment • Statewide model application • No sensitivity to SE data of travelers

  24. FSUTMS Apps? • Urban HOT lanes • Urban Tolled Freeways • Rural Turnpike? – willingness to pay characteristics need evaluation • Not sufficient for multi-modal corridors, but could play a role
