Questions
Turnpike State Model
GIS Database
Built from scratch to ensure consistency among all components
Simplified travel demand model structure with integrated land use model
Two way GIS to TRANPLAN interface
Landuse allocation interface capability
Produces vehicle forecasts (AADT)
Model Network Built from GDT/
TeleAtlas network, FDOT RCI
2004 base network 500,000 arcs 124,500 links
2015 network Florida DOT work
plan: 2,000 additional links
Includes 11,800 FDOT RCI traffic count stations
Zone System
Automatically generated from network
Total of 29,395 zones
4,837 internal
37 external
23,086 for non-developable areas (e.g. lakes)

*Red bars represent the FHWA recommended maximum RMSE
Matrix-estimated trip lengths are very close to NHTS Florida distribution
Model matches the 11,800 counts very closely, in part due to substantial network data cleaning effort
Summary and Conclusions
FL TSM v.1.0 completed in 2006
Use of GIS database significantly facilitates model development and maintenance efforts
Simplified initial travel demand modeling approach supports focus on critical data quality and maintenance issues
Having reliable network data supports incremental enhancements of the travel demand models over time for toll forecasting analysis
Heartland Example
Evaluated both East-West and North-South Corridors
Automated alignment based on avoidance
Smoothed to engineering curves
Database updated
Performed toll forecasting analysis
Performed “reversed engineering” analysis

Heartland Project – Reverse Engineering
Calculate Number of trips necessary to generate revenue necessary to bond toll facility
Use Matrix Estimation to generate trip table necessary to satisfy the necessary volume
Calculate additional needed socio-economic and employment per zone
Use GIS to display population and employment change

Cut-line analysis
Sum of Volume, Capacity
Calculates V/CLane by facility type
Grid Analysis
Shows where supply is not meeting demand

Summary and Conclusions
TSM has complemented other tools available to Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise for toll forecasting analysis applications
Future enhancements include: Toll mode choice model
Truck volume forecasting
Continuing TSM database maintenance and update
