Abstract:It has become apparent in recent years that significant benefits will be obtained if the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) can combine its data products and modeling tools for integrated transportation operations and planning. Examples of integrating operations and planning at SHA include: archiving ITS/operations/count data for planning applications and performance monitoring; applying travel demand models to evaluate operations projects; and combining travel demand and microscopic traffic simulation models for more efficient congestion management at the corridor level. In addition to these general benefits, integrating microscopic operations and macroscopic planning models is also necessary for a variety of scenarios and policy analyses that are important to SHA. For instance, it is desirable to develop mesoscopic models that link microscopic traffic simulation, dynamic traffic assignment, and travel demand models to analyze both the local congestion effects and the regional demand effects.
