3 SHIFT Model Scope

4 SHIFT Model Scope Southern Highway Interactive Freight Traffic (SHIFT) Model Phases of Model Development Phase I (mid 2013) = Master Network and TAZ development Phase II (Jan 2016) = OD trip table and GUI development = SHIFT Model Phase III (October 2016) = Training scenarios Purpose of the SHIFT Model Common framework A consistent reporting tool GIS based and compatible with other planning databases Uses existing, available data Analyze movements on major freight corridors, regionally and/or nationally Not a replacement for existing modeling or state freight plans 4

5 SHIFT Model Scope Study Area National study area (minus Alaska and Hawaii) Focus on the 9 Institute for Trade and Transportation Studies member states Model Years Base Year 2014 Forecast Year 2040 E+C (85 E+C Projects) Trip purposes Auto Truck Temporal Characteristics Daily Average weekday 5

6 SHIFT Model Scope Data Sources National Highway Planning Network (NHPN) Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) Freight Analysis Framework, version 3 (FAF3) State Data: Networks, AADT, E+C Projects Traveler Analysis Framework (TAF) 6

8 Model Scenario Examples

9 Training Scenarios Scenario 1 (Georgia) I 75 Truck Only Lane Scenario 2 (Kentucky) Regional I 69 Project Scenario 3 (Louisiana) Flooding Events Scenario 4 (Arkansas) Bridge Closures New Madrid Event Scenario 5 (Missouri) I 70 Work Zone All scenarios are based on 2040 E+C Model 9

10 Scenario 5: Missouri (I 70 Workzone) Work Zone on I 70 5A: Jackson 5B: Boone 5C: St. Louis City Reduce to 1 lane / dir Reduce to 50 mph 10

11 Accessing the Model Model Package Delivered January 2016 Developed in TransCAD 6.0 release 2 build 9085 Interface contains Scenario Manager, Model Run, and Utilities Reference Model Documentation (User s Guide & Practice Scenarios) Installing the SHIFT Model Install directly under the C drive (e.g. C:\SHIFT_Model\ ). Sub folders: Interface resource files and the GUI files for the add in Master input files to create a model scenario Parameters parameters files to run the model 11

12 Coding the Scenario Scenario 5_A: I 70 Workzone 1. Identify project and any model modifications 2. Create a new project list and code [Project ID] values Add row for Project ID=Scenario_5_A_1, RUCODE=3, FCLASS=9, LANES=2 Add row for Project ID=Scenario_5_A_2, RUCODE=1, FCLASS=9, LANES=2 3. Code [Project_ID1] in the master highway network Split Link ID = at Jackson/Lafayette County Line Add Scenario_5_A_1 on link IDs = , 86362, 86361, 86359,, Add Scenario_5_A_2 on link IDs =

13 Coding the Scenario Scenario 5_A: I 70 Workzone 4. Validation (connectivity/attribute checks) Split Link ID = at Jackson/Lafayette County Line Verified I 70 alignment on I 35 instead of I Add centroid connectors and updated attributes Add link from Node/TAZ to Node (US 71) Add link from Node/TAZ to Node (I 435) 6. Update link IDs in the Select Link query file Select Link Add Link Delete Link Join Links Split Links Reshape Link Attrs. Node Attrs. Master>SelectLink.qry I 35 (Link ID 85448) MO 210 (Link ID 88466) I 470 (Link ID 86717) 13 *Edit Settings

14 Running the Model 1. Install the interface TransCAD 6.0 r2 build 9085 TransCAD>Tools>Add Ins SHIFT Model Interface 14

15 Running the Model 2. Create the Scenario Scenario Manager Add Scenario Load Scenario Verify File Paths Input files Parameter files Output files 15

16 Running the Model 3. Run the model Run Type Run by Step Single Model Run Multiple Model Run Load scenario (.scn) files 16

17 Running the Model Utilities Tables Validation Statistics Trip Purpose Statistics Assignment Statistics Demographics by State Utilities Maps Congestion Map Trip Purpose Flow Maps Validation Map Demographics Map 17

18 Evaluating Results Daily Volume Maps Volume Difference Maps 1. Join assignment results scenario 3A (Build) network Base (No Build) results 2. Create formula fields DIFF: Build No Build flows ABSDIFF: Abs(DIFF) COLOR: DIFF/ABSDIFF 3. Create themes Bandwidth on ABSDIFF Color Theme on COLOR Red = More volume Green = Less volume Grey = Min change 18

20 Wrap up & Questions

21 21 Results Presented The SHIFT Model can provide: Daily volumes for Auto and Truck Daily volume percent difference Bandwidth flow maps Select link analysis The SHIFT Model is an appropriate tool for: Analysis of regional or national truck assignments City to City and State to State analysis Large corridor (interstate) planning, especially for rural areas Support statewide travel demand models (Through trips, validation checks, subarea analysis, etc.) The SHIFT Model is NOT an appropriate tool for: Replacing existing statewide or regional travel demand models Replacing existing freight tools or freight plans Use in toll modeling, urban area modeling, intersection and interchange analysis or mode choice analysis.
