DYNAMISATION OF TRAFFIC CONVERSION MODELS

DYNAMISIERUNG VON VERKEHRSUMLEGUNGSMODELLEN

The quality of existing traffic on the roads is a criterion for the urgency of planning measures. The existing traffic at the critical peak hours on a weekday and the quality of future traffic after the measures are implemented are important here. The required parameters can be calculated by simulation with so-called conversion models. The dynamisation of such conversion process means a spatial-time separation of the determination of loads from the model of large road networks. Details given of this concern the model's theoretical basis for determining the loads in traffic networks (dynamisation), in order to give data for the dynamized traffic conversion model (initial matrices, successive infeeds). A comparative analysis of results concerns the load level of the dynamized traffic conversion and the characteristics of conventional and dynamized conversion, and the 1 and 2 matrix conversion.
