A TRAVEL TIME MODEL FOR URBAN ROAD NETWORKS: A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PRINCIPLES AND PROCEDURES

EEN REISTIJDENMODEL VOOR STEDELIJKE WEGENNETTEN: EEN UITGEBREIDE RESCHRIJVING VAN PRINCIPES EN WERKWIJZE

It is proposed to use a travel time model in order to estimate travel times in urban road networks. A model is presented to derive time flow functions for assignment purposes. Travel time is related to link and intersection characteristics, traffic flow characteristics, behavioural parameters, etc. Basic to the approach is the derivation of separate travel time functions for links and intersections, subsequently to be combined into one function for the complete road section. Intersection delays are assumed to play the major role in total travel time loss. Intersection delays are estimated using stochastic waiting models. The use of the model in transport planning practice is set out and is illustrated with numerical examples. /TRRL/
