Building and Calibration Transport Demand Model in Anamorava Region

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to develop a model and to calibrate it in order to apply it to transport forecasting for Anamorava region. The synthetic model has been developed, and it is composed of a transport network model and a demand model, which is enabled using PTV Visum software as well as using the following variables as input: number of residents, number of people employed, working places available as well as the volume of vehicles entering and leaving certain locations surrounding the Anamorava region at "peak hour". Required coefficients are used for converting the traffic volumes from 12 hours to 24 hours expressed, such as AADT. As a criterion, for initial verification R 2 , RMSPE, Percentage Deviation and Regression parameters are used. Then, a calibration of the demand model is conducted using the TFlowFuzzy algorithm by employed GEH test, comparing it with the observed data of traffic volumes accomplished simultaneously at some locations inside and in the vicinity of this region for time intervals of 12 hours on two different days in one week in May 2016. In order to fulfil all the criterions, it has been found out that the final model may be used for transport demand forecasting in the future in this region.

Verification of the Perception of the Local Community concerning Air Quality Using ADMS-Roads Modeling

“…AADT is the number of motor vehicles traveling in a given segment of the road during 24 consecutive hours, averaged for a period of one year. The method of its calculation depends on the type of the measurement segment (the P type segment—basic segments where direct measurements of traffic are performed on a full-time basis, and the T type segment—segments of the road where no direct measurements are performed, and the data may be acquired indirectly, by generating them from specialized software) [ 67 ]. For the two indicated segments, the value of AADT is to be calculated according to the formula: wherein: M R —average daily traffic on working days (Monday to Friday, 6 A.M.–10 P.M.), 0.85 M R —average daily traffic on Saturdays and pre-holiday days (6 A.M.–10 P.M.), M N —average daily traffic on Sundays and holidays, R N —average night traffic (10 P.M.–6 A.M.), N 1 —the number of working days in the year, N 2 —the number of Saturdays and days preceding holidays in the year, N 3 —the number of Sundays and holidays in the year, N —the number of all days in the year.…”

Mapping Carbon Monoxide Pollution of Residential Areas in a Polish City

“…The geometry of the road network was connected with descriptive data, including information on the names of streets, types The first stage of the studies was determining the average annual daily traffic volumes (AADT) in the road transport (n/h) in the given road segment of the analyzing road [34]. AADT was the basic parameter calculated for all segments of the road network, while the method of its calculation depends on the type of measurement segment [35] and [36] (pp. 80-85).…”

Emissions based tolls – Impacts on the total emissions of an intercity corridor

“…These data are used to calibrate and validate the model. Socioeconomic data of this level is used in other macrosimulation studies such as Duraku et al (2019). There are also considered trips from other inner cities and municipalities that possibly influence the network model.…”
