For the Maricopa Association of Governments, Caliper developed the largest high-fidelity microsimulation model ever attempted.
Using TransModeler, vehicle traffic was simulated within a 500 square mile area of Phoenix using a microscopic model with a .1 second time step.
The focus of the model was the management of traffic demand between routes north and south of Clear Lake.
The high prevalence of truck traffic and the crossings along the Canada–US border caused further challenges to accurately modeling dynamic trip patterns, route selection behavior and vehicle interactions.
The Capital Beltway HOT Lanes project is a nearly two billion dollar public-private partnership that is intended to be an innovative solution to traffic congestion through dynamic, open-road tolling.
Drivers who choose to use the HOT lanes will pay a toll conveyed to them via dynamic message signs.
Caliper Corporation developed a pilot TransModeler micro-simulation model for the I-270 corridor in Montgomery County, MD.
The ICM initiative aims to demonstrate the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to plan and manage congested traffic corridors by assisting decision-makers in identifying gaps, evaluating strategies, and investing in the best combination of strategies that would minimize congestion and improve safety.
The simulation in TransModeler is integrated with the GEA travel model in TransCAD and includes a number of base year and future scenarios.
CLR Analytics developed, calibrated, and validated a traffic microsimulation model for the State Route 91 (SR-91) Corridor System Management Plan (CSMP) study in Orange County, CA.
This model focuses on both the morning and afternoon rush hours from 6:00 to 10:00 AM and 2:00 to 8:00 PM, respectively, in order to cover all periods of congested travel.
