• Abstract:
  A small team of university-based transportation system experts and simulation experts has been ; assembled to develop, test, and apply an approach to assessing road infrastructure capacity using ; micro traffic simulation supported by publically available data in partnership with personnel of ; the Toledo Sea Port, the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments, and the Ohio ; Department of Transportation. Application activities previously focused on the arterial road ; infrastructure connecting the Toledo Sea Port to the interstate highway system via Interstate 280 ; and now focus on capacity on Interstate 75 in Toledo near Anthony Wayne Trail and Nebraska ; Avenue. Data was gathered from the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments and ; the Ohio Department of Transportation. A micro traffic simulation model was developed using ; the commercial software product AIMSUN. Simulation experiments were conducted to assess ; traffic bottlenecks caused by a construction project to add one additional lane in each direction to ; I-75. The road infrastructure was seen to have sufficient capacity to support the construction ; activity without traffic delays.
