URBAN TRAFFIC MODELS FOR OPERATIONAL ANALYSES AND ECONOMIC APPRAISALS. NEW ZEALAND ROADING SYMPOSIUM 1987. VOLUME 3

This paper is based on a review of urban traffic models available in New Zealand and overseas for predicting impacts of urban road improvement schemes. The review was undertaken for the administration committee of the Road Research Unit (National Roads Board) with the final objective of standardizing modelling procedures for the economic appraisal of proposed improvement projects. The main outcome of this work is a set of recommendations leading to the acquisition of specific models and modifications to some models to cater for New Zealand road traffic rules and control environment. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 810782. (Author/TRRL)
