Dynamic, Integrated Model System: Sacramento-Area Application, Volume 1: Summary Report

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-C10B-RW-1: Dynamic, Integrated Model System: Sacramento-Area Application,

Volume 1: Summary Report explores an integration of a disaggregate activity-based model with a traffic-simulation model to create a new, completely disaggregate model.

The new model simulates individuals’ activity patterns and travel and their vehicle and transit trips as they move on a real-time basis through the transportation system. It produces a simulation of the travel within a region by using individually simulated travel patterns as input rather than aggregate trip tables to which temporal and spatial distributions have been applied to create synthetic patterns. A unique feature of this model is the simulation of transit vehicles as well as individual person tours using transit.

C10B model files and data, start-up guide, and network users guide for the Sacramento proof-of-concept application are available.
