Corridor Analysis Using QRS II Route 9 Case Study
This traffic modeling project is part of a larger planning study of the Route 9 corridor through the Town of Hadley and parts of Amherst and Northampton. The Pioneer Valley Planning Comission...

Assignment Modeling with Dynamic Traffic Effects
This paper describes the new traffic assignment modeling provided by the Highway analysis component of the TRIPS package. This tackles some fundamental modeling issues regarding the time...

Travel Demand with Forecasting Microsimulation
Transportation planners forecast travel demand using techniques that are based on dissagregate models estimated from cross-sectional data. Their forecasts are usually single future time...

Impact of Land Use Alternatives on Transportation Demand
This paper documents a study conducted by the Baltimore Regional Council of Governments (Regional Council) for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Under this study, alternative...

Validating a Citywide Traffic Planning Model
A traffic planning model can improve the public agency's ability to forecast future traffic and plan appropriate roadway intrastructure. However, the usefulness of these models depends...

The Development of a Regional GIS/Transportation Database
This paper describes the development of a prototype concept and demonstration for a geographical information system-transportation database (GIS/T) for the Regional Transportation Commission...

Synthesis of Traffic Signal Timing for the Highway Capacity Manual Planning Analysis
The 1985 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) provides a technique to analyze the operation of signalized intersections. The Highway Capacity Software (HCS) is a microcomputer package that faithfully...

A Method for Reviewing and Assessing PASSER II and TRANSYT-7F Signal Timing Optimization Outputs
The development of traffic signal timing plans is a common task. Some of the traffic software programs are the Arterial analysis package (AAP), the Progression Analysis and Signal System...

Using the 1985 HCM, PASSER and TRANSYT in Harmony
Throughout the last decade, the City of DeKalb Engineering Division has embarked on a program to address their highly variable traffic demands with comprehensive signal system projects...

Development of Self-Organizing Traffic Control System Using Neural Network Model
This paper is concerned with developing a self-organizing traffic control system using a neural network model, a multilayer network model. The neural network inputs the control variables,...

Using Interactive Simulation to Model Driver Behavior Under ATIS
This paper discusses the development and implementation of FASTCARS (Freeway and Arterial Street Traffic Conflict Arousal and Resolution Simulator), an interactive microcomputer based...

A Microcomputer Model to Estimate the Benefits of Volume Generated Auxiliary Passing Lanes on Two-Lane, Two-Way Highways
Safety and operational characteristics of rural and suburban two-lane roadways can be substantially improved by the provision of adequate passing opportunity, especially as traffic volumes...

Use of TRAF-NETSIM to Estimate the Traffic Impacts of an Urban-Resort Area Development
Urban-resort areas are concentrated visitor destination districts that are located within or in close proximity to urban areas. The combination of visitor-related and urban activities...

The Wizard of Helpful Intersection Control Hints
The methodology for making traffic control decisions is the subject of this paper. There exists a body of knowledge supporting a sound decision making process, but it requires the use...

Major Enhancements to TRANSYT-7F
TRANSYT-7F is one of the most powerfull computer programs fir traffic signal timing and traffic flow analysis. This paper describes some of the significant improvements over earlier versions...

The Integration of the Highway Capacity Manual and the TRAF-NETSIM Simulation Model
The Bureau of Traffic Operations, New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) utilizes for various types of studies and capacity analyses, the 1985 Highway Capacity Methodology...

A PASSER II-90 Postprocessor for Detailed Analysis of Arterial Traffic Control Parameters
Many preprocessors have been developed for traffic signal operation software to ease the tedious data input process or to perform error trapping on the input data. However, work to date...

An Interactive Input Data Manager for the TRAF Simulation System
TRAFEdit is an interactive, menu driven program which allows the user to create or modify an input data file for the TRAF simulation system. TRAFEdit is essentially an update to the NEDIT...

Tennessee's Integrated Rural Transit Microcomputer Software
The Tennessee Department of transportation (TDOT) entered into a research contract with Vanderbilt University and the University of Tennessee to develop an integrated series of programs...

Implementation of a Real-Time, Paratransit Scheduling System at DART
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) implemented the GIRO/ACCES paratransit scheduling system for its HandiRides and DARTABOUT paratransit programs. HandiRides serves elderly and disabled...
