I-694 Reconstruction from I-35E to I-35WI-694 Reconstruction from I-35E to I-35W
• Widen I-694 from 4-lanes to 6-lanes
• Modification/reconstruction of 5 interchanges– I-35W– TH 10/Snelling/Hamline– Lexington– Victoria St– Rice Street
• Completes Un-weave the weave
• I-35W not part of the “plan”

• CORSIM is the Current Simulation Program (being reviewed by Eil Kwon and U of M)
• Field Observations
• Base Model Development
• Error Checking
• Model Calibration– Driver Behavior
• Alternatives Analysis
• Final Report

• Duration of Congestion in Metro Area is 3 to 5 hours per peak period
• 1 hour simulation models in metro inadequate (Lake St Access Case Study proved this)
• 15 minute data AM Peak Period Traffic Flow:

Simulation Limits vs. Project LimitsSimulation Limits vs. Project Limits
• Extended Boundary Limits required to “Feed” Traffic into Project Area
• Analysis of non-project elements “required”
• Non-project elements in simulation model may or may not be part of TSP, TIP, STIP, TPP
• Non-project elements may create a bottleneck impacting the analysis
Forecasting ProcessForecasting Process
• Mn/DOT Metro Guidelines
• Reviewed and updated Land Use
• Reviewed and updated Network Attributes
• Screen line Evaluation
• Post Processing applied– Base error applied to Future error
• Reasonableness Checks

Converting Forecasts to Simulation InputsConverting Forecasts to Simulation Inputs
• Single Peak Hour (forecast) converted to 3-hour 15 minute data (simulation)– 694 model had 15,000 traffic volume inputs
• Big Math Problem!
• Two Approaches– Option 1: factor existing 15 minute data by peak hour ratio– Option 2: Forecast 15-minute data o-d (Crosstown model)
• Option 1 used for I-694
Sample CalculationsSample Calculations
• Existing 15-minute pattern duplicated
• There are challenges with this process

ConclusionsConclusions
• Better interaction required between Forecasting and Simulation processes– Preparing 15-minute forecasts for simulations
problematic
• Forecasting process needs to catch up with Simulation– Qa/QC– Network coding errors– Systematic approach
• Simulation exposes many issues with the “Plan”, dealing with these new issues
