Main Features
Consists of separate time-of-day (TOD) models Realistic free-flow speed based on a speed survey and
HCM-based signal delays Varying capacities by TOD for reversible lanes Model parameters are based on recent travel survey and
KYTC’s HIS database. 2-stage assignments: Initial and Feedback User-friendly model GUI

Key data for estimating trip productions and attractions

Speed/Capacity Estimation
Free-flow speed, peak-hour capacity & daily capacity
A special GIS-dk program to estimate directional capacities by TOD & free-flow speed
Consideration of changes in reversible lanes by TOD
Free-flow speed = f (functional class, posted speed, number of lanes, facility type, delays on interrupted facilities)
Daily capacity = f (functional class, number of lanes, facility type)
Peak-hour capacity = max. service flow * adjustment factors
where, Adjustment factors = f (geometric data, functional class, facility type, area type, delays on
interrupted facilities)

Speed/Capacity Estimation (Cont’d)
Delays on interrupted facilities
HCM 2000 procedure
delay/veh = uniform delay * PF + incremental delay + initial queue delay
where, PF = progression factor = f (arrival type, g/C)
uniform delay =
Varying g/C’s and PF’s by signal priority and multiple signals

Trip Generation
Six internal trip purposes: - HBW, HBK12, HBU, HBO, NHBW & NHBO
Trip production
- Cross-classification technique
- Data: The 2000 Knoxville Household Travel Behavior Study, The 1999 Indiana University Travel Demand Survey
- Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and non-parametric correlations techniques to identify the predictor variables for various trip
purposes
- Stratification curve: distribution of households in a zone over various
levels of the predictor variables

Trip Distribution
Doubly-constrained Gravity model for the 6 internal trip purposes & E-I trips
Friction factors
- Initial factors from the old MINUTP model
- Fitting to Gamma function for smoothing the factors
- Adjustment of Gamma parameters to arrive at correct trip lengths by trip purpose
Socioeconomic (or K) factors

Time-of-Day
AM peak (06:30~09:00); Midday peak (12:00~13:30); PM peak (15:30~18:00) and Off-peak
TOD factors
- Split the 24-hr trip table into tables by TOD
- by trip purpose
Directional factors
- Convert trip tables in a production-attraction format to origin-destination tables
- by trip purpose and by TOD

External Trips
44 external stations
E-E trips The 1994 O-D survey by Wilbur Smith Associates Most of E-E trip interchanges except for the interstate and US60 exchanges
Kentucky Statewide Travel Model via critical link analysis E-E trip interchanges for the interstate and US60 external stations
Modlin Equations A check of reasonableness
E-I trips = ADT’s - E-E trips at each external station
27 stations of the 44 stations carry through trips
