Deploying a dynamic traffic assignment model for the Sydney region

摘要: To study traffic dynamics a network level, flow should be evaluated from fine resolution. Considering the ever changing conditions in city, Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models are useful to access impact of policy measures on travel behaviour and overall performance at regional level. A majority established planning Australia (and around world) macroscopic nature provide aggregated for entire network. However, these traditional cannot represent important phenomena such as queue spillback or temporal congestion propagation due their time-invariant framework. One solution this issue that is receiving greater attention both research industry DTA modelling. This work presents an overview developing deploying metropolitan area dynamic assignment model (MADAM) Sydney region. The workflow project involved obtaining necessary input data, including geometry, demand, signals transit, converting data into form needed platform, making adjustments computational efficiency, implementing finally calibrating model. In particular, focuses role models, lessons learned during current deployment, presenting calibration process outputs. Future directions will also discussed. makes significant contribution toward city Australia. future, MADAM could aid evaluating decisions infrastructural development context operation. serves proof concept may valuable insight other practitioners interested areas transport
