Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation Decision Making A GUIDE TO EFFECTIVE DECISION MAKING WRITTEN JUST FOR TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONALS This pioneering text provides a holistic approach to decision making in transportation project development and programming, which can help transportation professionals to optimize their investment choices. The authors present a proven set of methodologies for evaluating transportation projects that ensures that all costs and impacts are taken into consideration. The text’s logical organization gets readers started with a solid foundation in basic principles and then progressively builds on that foundation. Topics covered include: Developing performance measures for evaluation, estimating travel demand, and costing transportation projects Performing an economic efficiency evaluation that accounts for such factors as travel time, safety, and vehicle operating costs Evaluating a project’s impact on economic development and land use as well as its impact on society and culture Assessing a project’s environmental impact, including air quality, noise, ecology, water resources, and aesthetics Evaluating alternative projects on the basis of multiple performance criteria Programming transportation investments so that resources can be optimally allocated to meet facility-specific and system-wide goals Each chapter begins with basic definitions and concepts followed by a methodology for impact assessment. Relevant legislation is discussed and available software for performing evaluations is presented. At the end of each chapter, readers are provided resources for detailed investigation of particular topics. These include Internet sites and publications of international and domestic agencies and research institutions. The authors also provide a companion Web site that offers updates, data for analysis, and case histories of project evaluation and decision making. Given that billions of dollars are spent each year on transportation systems in the United States alone, and that there is a need for thorough and rational evaluation and decision making for cost-effective system preservation and improvement, this text should be on the desks of all transportation planners, engineers, and educators. With exercises in every chapter, this text is an ideal coursebook for the subject of transportation systems analysis and evaluation.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of transportation systems is a significant component that influences the quality of life. The performance evaluation refers to a process of determining how well transportation systems perform regarding their intended goals and objectives. The advancement of information and communication technology and the integration between transportation systems and advanced technologies have directed more attention to the concept of smart cities. Smart cities are constituted of several interrelated components. Therefore, this offers comprehensive and integrated frameworks to evaluate the transportation performance and understanding of multifaceted interactions between the components from a transportation engineering perspective in four sections. In the first part of the study, a framework is developed to identify poor cycling infrastructure by studying bicyclists perception and driver's behavior in bicycle-vehicle maneuvers. Active transportation modes aid livable communities by enhancing physical activity and public health, known as important factors of the sustainability of smart cities. I found that environments with more intersections or uphill segments incorporate a risk of being uncomfortable or stationary. In terms of the legislation approach, this study demonstrated that overtaking distances in the locations with a five-foot passing law were significantly greater than those with a three-foot law or no specific law. In the second part, I developed a conceptual assessment framework of multifaceted transportation performances for sustainability and smart-growth in cities. A multi-criteria decision analysis method was employed to composite the criteria and evaluate the final Closeness Coefficient Score (CCS) to the negative ideal solution. I applied the proposed framework to forty-six cities in the US. The results indicated that the physical activity indicator is a significant criterion to distinguish the sustainability of study areas. Third, the study proposed a framework utilizing open-source databases to generate a synthetic population offering household- and person-level attributes. The framework provided a procedure to develop agent-based trip chains for individuals in the synthetic population. I also developed a method to accurately impute land-use polygons to each tour within the traffic analysis zones. The analysis results suggested a perfect fit between the actual and the synthetic population and the proposed framework added up the existing approaches by providing additional steps to build spatial and temporal distributions of agents’ activity plan using open-source data. The final framework proposes how to evaluate integrated health impacts of transportation scenarios using agent-based simulation. An agent-based simulation approach was developed to analyze three factors of physical activity, traffic accidents, and air pollution exposure through four scenarios: the base scenario, increase in demand, introducing bikeable infrastructure and a combination of the last two scenarios. The case study results demonstrated that the quantified benefits of physical activity in the environment with an average background pollution concentration is substantially larger than risks of vehicle crashes and emission exposure, even though active travelers are more vulnerable to air pollution. Thus, the framework can be used as an effective tool to capture smart and sustainable strategies, such as bike-sharing programs, demand-responsive transport, and micro-transit in urbanized areas, and determine the long-term health outcomes of each scenario.
Download or read book The Multi Agent Transport Simulation MATSim written by Andreas Horni and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2016-08-10 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MATSim (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation) software project was started around 2006 with the goal of generating traffic and congestion patterns by following individual synthetic travelers through their daily or weekly activity programme. It has since then evolved from a collection of stand-alone C++ programs to an integrated Java-based framework which is publicly hosted, open-source available, automatically regression tested. It is currently used by about 40 groups throughout the world. This book takes stock of the current status. The first part of the book gives an introduction to the most important concepts, with the intention of enabling a potential user to set up and run basic simulations. The second part of the book describes how the basic functionality can be extended, for example by adding schedule-based public transit, electric or autonomous cars, paratransit, or within-day replanning. For each extension, the text provides pointers to the additional documentation and to the code base. It is also discussed how people with appropriate Java programming skills can write their own extensions, and plug them into the MATSim core. The project has started from the basic idea that traffic is a consequence of human behavior, and thus humans and their behavior should be the starting point of all modelling, and with the intuition that when simulations with 100 million particles are possible in computational physics, then behavior-oriented simulations with 10 million travelers should be possible in travel behavior research. The initial implementations thus combined concepts from computational physics and complex adaptive systems with concepts from travel behavior research. The third part of the book looks at theoretical concepts that are able to describe important aspects of the simulation system; for example, under certain conditions the code becomes a Monte Carlo engine sampling from a discrete choice model. Another important aspect is the interpretation of the MATSim score as utility in the microeconomic sense, opening up a connection to benefit cost analysis. Finally, the book collects use cases as they have been undertaken with MATSim. All current users of MATSim were invited to submit their work, and many followed with sometimes crisp and short and sometimes longer contributions, always with pointers to additional references. We hope that the book will become an invitation to explore, to build and to extend agent-based modeling of travel behavior from the stable and well tested core of MATSim documented here.
