Abstract:

This document describes the spreadsheet tools implementing the regression models developed in the main report (0-6859-1). The tools offer a user-friendly interface to evaluate the effectiveness of active traffic management (ATM) strategies for a given network. Three ATM strategies are considered: ramp metering, variable speed limit (VSL), and dynamic lane use control (DLUC). For each ATM strategy, the spreadsheet tool provides three cases based on the level of data availability: • The no-data case assumes that the agency has no data available to build or calibrate either a microsimulation or a dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) model. • The microsimulation-only case assumes that the agency has real-time data available to build and calibrate the microsimulation model but has no data available to develop a DTA model. • The DTA-only case assumes that the agency has access to strategic data to build a DTA model but only limited access to real-time data to build a microsimulation model.
