• Jack is currently performing travel demand model forecasting for Florida’s Turnpike. Specifically he works on toll road project forecasting to produce traffic and revenue estimates which are in turn utilized by Turnpike’s finance department to conclude feasibility of a proposed project. Project levels range from a basic feasibility analysis to an investment grade level study.

Introduction• Regional models used for producing travel
demand forecasts• Interpretation of traffic volume estimates • Daily Vs. Time of Day • Estimating toll rates
and traffic for a proposed toll facility – By section– By hour

Development
• Estimate of split between General Use (GU) & Toll lanes using a supply/demand equilibrium process – Supply: Akcelik curves for travel time estimates – Demand: Toll Choice Model

Volume/Delay Curves
The Akcelik curve has been found to better represent traffic The Akcelik curve has been found to better represent traffic in corridors with over capacity conditions. in corridors with over capacity conditions.

Development
• Hourly toll rates by V/C ratio & specified limits – Determined by a power curve, exponent (input
parameter), and travel times – Limits are pre-determined minimum & maximum
rates
• Easily modified to represent alternative dynamic tolling policies

Development: Primary Input
• Total daily traffic, hourly distribution (by direction), geometry of facility
• Geometry includes: section lengths, free flow speed, lane capacity, PCE factor, # of lanes (GU & Toll), max/min toll rates
• Secondary Input are scale factors • Spreadsheet format with calculations
between supply & demand done iteratively to achieve user equilibrium

Example of Hourly Distribution by Roadway Segment and Direction
Plot shows ADT for 24 hourly intervals for each count station on a portion of the Interstate 75 corridor.
These curves represent a
section of I-75 for one
direction.
