Description:

This report describes a test implementation of DYMOD (a dynamic traffic assignment model) as means of predicting time-varying traffic conditions in a moderate size urban network during congested periods and incidents. The study demonstrates how one component of a future traffic management center (i.e., the dynamic traffic model) can be implemented and operated at a TMC to support traveler information systems and traffic management advisories. Based on nonlinear optimization formulations and solution algorithms, this modelling approach had already performed well in computational tests on small networks. Thus, DYMOD was ready for validation and testing on a suitable freeway /arterial system. The 1-25/HOV corridor southeast of Denver presented an excellent test environment for this application because of its (1) density of instrumentation, (2) rich diversity of highway types, and (3) dramatic variations in daily traffic conditions.
