INCORPORATION OF STATE-OF-THE-ART INTEGRATED MODELING METHODOLOGIES INTO FLORIDA'S STATEWIDE MODEL. FINAL REPORT: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This executive summary provides a description of the approach and methodology used in the development of a new statewide model for Florida. Descriptions of the approaches adopted for developing the statewide model network and zone system in support of statewide modeling applications are also described. This new statewide model is capable of supporting a range of local, regional and statewide applications. It is envisioned that the statewide model will: (1) interface with local/regional models at external stations; (2) provide information to the statewide highway freight model; (3) provide information to the Florida Intrastate Highway System decision support system; and (4) serve as a systems planning tool for rural areas. The document describes adopted approaches and methodologies concerning statewide model network development, zone structure development, external trips, trip generation, trip distribution, modal split and traffic assignment. Data sources and needs are identified and discussed for each topic.
