This model has been integrated with the Indiana state travel demand model to create the INtegrated TRansportation Land-Use Demand Estimation model (INTRLUDE). The integrated model is being used by the Indiana Department of Transportation to assess planned project alternatives.

The study described in this report investigated the applicability to the state-level problem of existing software developed to estimate trip tables in urban areas (or smaller) from link counts. Criteria that would form the basis for determining the applicability of any particular software package were developed. Packages such as The Highway Emulator (THE), PC-LINKOD, and Fast Matrix Calibration (FMC) were tested using small and medium sized networks. Because FMC performed the best on these tests, it was applied to the state-level trip table estimation problem. However, FMC was designed to update an existing trip table, and Indiana had no such previous trip table. As a result, an “O-D Factoring” procedure was adopted to convert zone-by-zone origen and destination totals into an initial trip table that could be updated by FMC. By making some adjustments to the elasticities in FMC, a trip table was developed for the Indiana state highway network.

A detailed statistical analysis was conducted to develop alternative models to forecast traffic.

Abstract A highway system serves two needs: mobility and accessibility. Access control techniques are used to restrict access to the highway and improve vehicle flow. The objective of this research was to develop a comprehensive procedure to evaluate access control alternatives. The procedure includes the design and quantitative evaluation of alternatives to select the best one. Evaluation of each alternative includes prediction of turning volumes, delays, crash rates, and economic effectiveness. Several existing models predict traffic delays for signalized intersections and for minor streams at unsignalized intersections. Models are needed to predict delays of arterial streams caused by minor streams at unsignalized intersections. To address this missing component, models were developed to predict the delays caused to arterial streams by the following maneuvers: merging onto the arterial, diverging from the arterial, and left turn from the arterial. Models to predict crash rates for multi-lane arterial segments in Indiana based on geometric and access control characteristics were also developed. Models were developed to predict total, propertydamage-only, and fatal/injury crashes. For the economic evaluation of each alternative, delays and stops are converted to operating costs for representative periods, and the crash rates are converted to crash costs. The agency costs can also be estimated. After the economic evaluation of each access control alternative, the best alternative can be selected.
