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.
