Abstract:

This paper describes the application of the micro-computer compatible Florida Standard Urban Transportation Modeling Structure (Micro-FSUTMS) to estimate traffic volume for the purpose of evaluating a proposed highway corridor in Pinellas County, Florida. The modeling system was initially validated using a 400-Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) system encompassing a sub-area from three (3) neighboring counties of Pinellas, Hillsborough and Pasco. The modeling system was subsequently up-graded to a 900-TAZ system encompassing the entire Pinellas County for the purpose of analyzing the feasibility of a tollway facility. Traffic forecasting and sensitivity analyses were conducted for evaluation of various highway corridors in northeast Pinellas County.
