Streamlined modeling process

Steps Basic data element Checklist of input and output, data flow (GMNS) Process and tools Optimization and simulation algorithm
1.Network importing Openstreetmap, survey data, population, census data, Osm file-> node, link, Osm2gmns
2. Microscopic Traffic Mesh Network preparation Node, link, (link type, capacity, multimodal uses, free-flow travel time, volume-delay function) Microscopic node.csv. link.csv Osm2gmns, microscopic mesh network generation intersection consolidation multi-level network in net2cell
3. Zone Creation Zone, grid cells, accessibility Mapping in Node_id, zone_id in node.csv Grid2demand Hierarchical mapping between zones and nodes, clustering, We use alphanumerical grids Such as A1-C10
4. Trip generation and distribution Trip generation rates based on population, social-demographical data Demand matrix file Cross-category trip generation, Linear regression, Gravity model Cumulative logit model , Trip generation with attraction-end, trip length considerations
5. Mode choice Auto, bus, walk, bike, rail, CAV, TNC Demand file with mode options Mode choice model (discrete choice) Calibration through maximum likelihood
6. Traffic Control data preparation Movement, phase, timing Movement-> signal_phasing, signal_timing Queueing model and capacity allocation
7. Traffic assignment UE Link performance Demand, network-> agent file, link performance Flow mapping: OD->path-> link Travel time mapping: Link-> path -> OD User equilibrium consideration Shortest path problem and algorithm such as label correcting ; Assignment model formulation for UE, SO, side constraints
8. Traffic flow and Queuing analysis Capacity, cut-off speed and density, Dynamic queue profile Time-dependent link performance Traffic fundamental diagram Traffic flow model selection and calibration, queueing for overcongested conditions
9. Visualization and analysis
10. Supply-side scenario preparation Incident, work zone
11. demand-side scenario preparation Toll/incentives, departure time adjustment
12. CAV modeling
