Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seven-county Southeast Michigan region, that encompasses the Detroit Metropolitan Area, ranks fifth in population among top 25 regions in the nation. It also ranks among bottom five in the transit service provided, measured in miles or hours or per capita dollars of transit service. The primary transit agencies in the region essentially cater to 'captive riders'. Cities with a stronger transit base in the nation have two things in common; their ability to draw "choice" riders, and their success in building some type of rail transit system, with capital funds generally provided by the federal government. Over past three decades, a number of studies have examined the feasibility of rapid transit services in the Detroit region including speed link (rubber tired high speed buses), Light Rail Transit (LRT), Commuter Rail Transit (CRT) and High Speed Rail Transit (HRT). Among the many problems associated with building such a rapid transit system in the region, is the lack of a "quick response" tool for preliminary planning for light rail transit along an urban travel corridor. The primary objective of this project is to develop a quick-response tool for sketch planning purposes that may be used by other cities to test the feasibility of building LRT systems along a predefined transit corridor (i.e., a corridor with existing transit service, in form of buses). The primary focus of this study is to maximize the use of available data without any new data collection effort. In the report, the authors present an LRT case study for Detroit, where a number of LRT planning studies are currently underway, each with specific objectives, followed by a set of guidelines that can be used by transit planners for sketch planning of LRT. The guidelines are designed to assist transit planners in the preliminary planning effort for a LRT system on an urban travel corridor with existing bus services.

Book Synopsis Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling by : Nigel H. M. Wilson
Download or read book Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling written by Nigel H. M. Wilson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schedule-Based Dynamic Transit Modeling: Theory and Applications outlines the new schedule-based dynamic approach to mass transit modeling. In the last ten years the schedule-based dynamic approach has been developed and applied especially for operational planning. It allows time evolution of on-board loads and travel times for each run of each line to be obtained, and uses behavioral hypotheses strictly related to transit systems and user characteristics. It allows us to open new frontiers in transit modelling to support network design, timetable setting, investigation of congestion effects, as well as the assessment of new technologies introduction, such as information to users (ITS technologies). The contributors and editors of the book are leading researchers in the field of transportation, and in this volume they build a solid foundation for developing still more sophisticated models. These future models of mass transit systems will continue to add higher levels of accuracy and sensitivity desired in forecasting the performance of public transport systems.

Book Synopsis Utilizing Aggregate Transit Demand with Dynamic Transit Assignment Models by : Patrick Todd Jordan
Download or read book Utilizing Aggregate Transit Demand with Dynamic Transit Assignment Models written by Patrick Todd Jordan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activity based models and dynamic traffic assignment models have begun to emerge in the transportation planning industry as an alternative method to the traditional four-step model by more realistically representing trip tours on a finer time scale and depicting the effects of time-dependent traffic flow throughout the network. A barrier, however, for many MPOs across the country to developing ABMs and DTA models is the immense amount of resources required to produce and validate a complete network. Having the capability of using trip tables produced using the four-step model allows MPOs to benefit from the advantages of using a dynamic model while accepting some inaccuracies due to inherent incompatibilities between model methodologies. DTA models have predominately lacked the ability to represent transit apart from pre-specified dwell times, yet current initiatives are focused on developing FAST-TrIPs as a dynamic transit assignment model capable of integrating with DTA software packages to better account for variations in transit ridership. This thesis seeks to act as a guide for MPOs looking to implement existing transit trip tables from a four-step model in conjunction with FAST-TrIPs dynamic transit assignment software to analyze the affects of transit vehicle congestion and schedule reliability at the passenger level. Due to innate assumptions made when modeling transit in the four-step model such as transit schedule and accessibility, modelers must take particular care in characterizing inputs for the dynamic model. Proposals are made related to developing the transit network, processing transit demand, and creating configuration settings for the model. A case study set in Austin, TX uses the regional transit network and transit demand to emphasize particular inputs that are susceptible to causing passengers to go unassigned due to the inconsistency of the models while suggesting opportunities to limit such issues. Due to the high variability in current four-step model structures, the goal of this thesis provides readers with the proper knowledge necessary to develop unique processes applicable to their own region.

Standridge and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An understanding of traffic flow in time and space is fundamental to the development of strategies for the efficient use of the existing transportation infrastructure in large metropolitan areas. Thus, this project involved developing the methods necessary to systematically describe, explain, and predict the flow of traffic with respect to time and space. The utility of this knowledge was demonstrated in routing voluminous traffic. Achieving these objectives required the collection, management, and analysis of traffic data concerning volume, speed, and traffic sensor occupancy. Management of this data required the design and implementation of a large scale database management system as well as assuring the quality of the collected data. Descriptive, explanatory, and predictive statistical models were developed to help gain the desired understanding of traffic flow. Application efforts focused on the Detroit metropolitan area. Traffic data was regularly obtained from the Michigan Intelligent Transportation System Center. Statistical models of traffic flow in the Detroit area I-75 corridor were constructed. A previously developed routing model was extended and adapted to the I-75 corridor and the newly developed statistical models incorporated to help compute traffic flow metrics. Both a software solver and a hardware solver for the model were implemented. In addition, a framework for traffic simulation was developed and applied to the development and calibration of a micro-simulation model including the same part of the I-75 corridor. This model was used to demonstrate the benefits of guidance in re-routing traffic as a result of a traffic incident.
