1 Using TRANSIMS for On-line Transportation System Management during Emergencies Peer Exchange Meeting March 15, 2012 Project Objectives/Outcomes Further development of the Buffalo TRANSIMS model Modifying TRANSIMS to allow for modeling impact of inclement weather Simulating emergency scenarios in the Buffalo-Niagara area Presentation 07 1 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
2 What is TRANSIMS Initially developed at Los Alamos National Lab as representing the next generation of transportation models A person-based simulator which combines detailed modeling of traffic flow dynamics with the ability to model traveler behavior Feedback Controller Input Data Synthetic Population Generator Activity Generator Router Micro-simulator Emissions Estimator TRANSIMS Model Model Refinement & Error Checking Calibration: Demand and Diurnal Distribution Model Validation Presentation 07 2 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
3 Network Refinement 1. Subarea Expansion Error-Checking List: Pocket lanes; Zigzag links; Signal locations; Major network bottlenecks; 5 Network Refinement 2. Missing left-turn pocket lane; the Intersection between John James Audubon Pkwy and N Forest Rd 6 Presentation 07 3 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
4 Network Refinement 3. Redundant signal: intersection between Erie Ave and Niagara Falls Blvd; 7 Network Refinement 4. Study the impact of the missing local roads; Capacity Loss 8 Presentation 07 4 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
5 Network Refinement 5. Study the impact of the missing local roads; Scenario Test: add Koenig Rd between Niagara Falls Blvd and Parker Blvd Volume Up: extra capacity attracts more traffic. Daily Volume Daily Queue Length 9 Network Refinement 6. 20% Missing Trips Almost 20% problem trips in the last run; Much more vehicles on the network than the simplified network could handle; Reduced Demand might fix it. 10 Presentation 07 5 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
6 Demand & Diurnal Calibration 1. Review Micro-simulator reports on the problem trips 11 Calibration 2. Parameter Sensitivity Study Router END_TIME_CONSTRAINT Micro-Simulator MINIMUM_WAITING_TIME MAXIMUM_WAITING_TIME MAX_ ARRIVAL_ TIME_ VARIANCE MAX_DEPARTURE_TIME_VARIANCE 12 Presentation 07 6 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
7 Calibration 2. Parameter Sensitivity Study END_TIME_CONSTRAINT The end time constraint is optional and only applied if the IGNORE_TIME_CONSTRAINTS key is false. This parameter enables the user to add a time buffer to the end time of the trip to limit the time constraint errors to those instances where the travel exceeds the end time plus the end time constraint. The parameter is defined in minutes. The default is zero. 13 Calibration 2. Parameter Sensitivity Study MINIMUM_WAITING_TIME Arrival Time Problems If a vehicle does not move from a given cell for a prolonged period of time, it is likely to be stuck in a deadlock situation. To break deadlocks, the simulation can give priority to vehicles that have not moved for some time. The vehicle is placed in a priority queue if it has not moved for more than the minimum waiting time. This parameter defaults to 180 seconds. The vehicle remains in the priority queue until it moves or the maximum waiting time is reached. Vehicles in the priority queue are given first opportunity to make lane changes or forward movements at the beginning of each time step. 14 Presentation 07 7 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
8 Calibration 2. Parameter Sensitivity Study MAXIMUM_WAITING_TIME Waiting Time Problems Arrival Time Problems The maximum waiting time defines when a vehicle is removed from the simulation. If the vehicle has not moved for this amount of time, a Waiting Time problem message is generate, the vehicle is removed from the link, and moved to the destination parking lot. The default value is 3600 seconds. 15 Calibration 2. Parameter Sensitivity Study MAX_ARRIVAL_TIME_VARIANCE Arrival Time Problems Each travel plan includes the expected arrival time at the destination activity location. If the vehicle is still traveling on the network at a time equal to the scheduled arrival time plus the maximum arrival time variance, the vehicle is removed from the simulation and moved to the destination parking lot, and an arrival time problem message is posted in the problem file. The default value for this parameter is 60 minutes. 16 Presentation 07 8 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
9 Calibration 2. Parameter Sensitivity Study MAX_DEPARTURE_TIME_VARIANCE Departure Time Problems If the vehicle is unable to leave the parking lot at the beginning of the trip before the scheduled departure time plus the maximum departure time variance, the trip is abandoned and the vehicle is moved to the destination parking lot, and a departure time problem message is generated. The default value for this parameter is 60 minutes. 17 Calibration 2. Parameter Sensitivity Study Five Scenarios with Different Parameter Settings 18 Presentation 07 9 Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
10 Calibration 3. Demand Study Waiting time and arrival time problems indicates that the number of the vehicles on the network has exceeded network capacity. 193 Count Stations Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Only the locations of the count stations 19 Calibration 3.

14 Validation 2. Regression Analysis (Simulation vs. Field) R 2 =0.958 R 2 = Weather Impact on Driving Behavior & Demand Motivation Purpose & Scope Literature Review Methodology Conclusions Next Steps Presentation Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012
15 Motivation In the U.S., More than 25% of the annual 1,561,000 vehicle crashes are weather-related t Weather-related crashes kill 7,400 people killed, and injure more than 673,000 annually State DOTs spend between 20-25% of their budget on winter road maintenance annually Purpose & Scope Impact of inclement weather on freeway traffic speed, at both the macroscopic and microscopic levels Uses data from the Buffalo-Niagara metropolitan area in Western NY Operating speed is a traffic flow parameter that is applicable at: Macroscopic level - average speed Microscopic level speed of an individual vehicle Presentation Buffalo, NY March 15, 2012

21 Conclusions Weather indices offer good explanation power Speed reduction: a function of visibility, weather type, precipitation & wind-speed. Temperature: not a significant predictor At the microscopic level: driving under inclement weather shows a higher frequency of acceleration & deceleration; magnitude of acc/dec significantly lower than under dry weather; TRANSIMS model can simulate freeway traffic under the inclement weather when model parameters are appropriately adjusted; a small cell size, however, is needed to achieve required speed resolution.
