  1. FSUTMS Model Status and Standardization Developments and Future Directions Florida Model Task Force Meeting Tampa, FL December 13, 2006

  2. Content • Model Conversion • Application of Converted Models • FSUTMS Framework • Future Directions

  3. Model Conversion Process • Model Conversion Steps • Citilabs/consultants convert the model • Districts/MPOs review the converted model • Citilabs/Consultants make changes • FDOT/Citilabs provide model specific training • Model Conversion Approach • Cube TRANPLAN as interim • Full Cube Voyager

  4. Model Conversion Training • Model Specific Trainings Provided /Assisted by Citilabs/Central Office • NERPM • TBRPM • CFRPM • Miami-Dade • Lee/Collier • Sarasota/Manatee

  5. Model Conversion Status

  6. Model Conversion Status

  7. Use of Converted Models • Converted Models Being Used • NERPM, Alachua, SERPM, Treasure Coast, CFRPM, TBRPM, Statewide models • Engineering and Planning Studies • Corridor Studies, Master Plans, DRI, PD&E

  8. Completed and On-Going Studies • White Paper • Data Dictionary • Standard Reporting Templates • Review of FSUTMS Default Coefficients and Parameters • New Transit Modeling Framework

  9. FSUTMS Launcher/Interface

  10. FSUTMS Launcher/Interface

  11. FSUTMS Web Portal • Launched on 08/01/2006 • Objectives • Open a communication channel between Model Task Force (MTF), Systems Planning Office (SPO), and Florida modeling/planning community • Build an information and data repository for model developers • Provide a discussion forum for model developers and users

  12. WWW.FSUTMSONLINE.NET

  13. New Training Model - Olympus

  14. Olympus Model File Structure

  15. Olympus Model User Interface

  16. Olympus Special Applications

  17. Transit Modeling Framework • Why… • Outdated existing model system and new challenges • FTA regulations on travel forecasts and new QA guidelines • The industry moving towards multi-path modeling • Cube PT provides the tools • Implications to other model components

  18. Transit Modeling Framework • What’s new … • PT “best path” • Two levels– general and New Starts areas • Affected transit modules • Transit access • Network coding • Path building • Mode Choice • Highway modules • Calibration and validation

  19. Transit Modeling Framework • What’s new …(continued) • More focus on observed data • Consistently good transit coding practice • Relies on good highway practice • Highway network coding • Trip distribution • Auto speeds

  20. Transit Modeling Framework • What does it mean … • Decide what area you belong to based on your local transit services and future growth • Modeling needs • Large areas – implementing the new framework immediately • Small areas – wait until next LRTP cycle

  21. Transit Modeling Framework • What does it mean… (continued) • Immediate actions for all areas • Review/Split zones • Update highway network • Centroid connectors • Include required transit related attributes • Standardize field names • Revise transit modal numbers • Collect transit service data

  22. Transit Modeling Framework • What will we do … • Develop required procedures and programs • Walk- and Auto- access connector programs • Path building scripting templates • Transit assignment reporting scripts • Revised mode choice model • Provide guidelines and documentation • Theoretical framework • Applications framework • Transit model validation guidelines

  23. Transit Modeling Framework • What will we do … (continued) • Develop prototype model • Replace the current Olympus model components • Provide samples for network coding and templates • Conduct training workshop • June 06 • More early next fiscal year (Sept/Oct 07) • Provide on-time update on web portal • Documentation, programs, and prototype model • Technical Support (FAQs and online Q/As)

  24. Future Directions • Short Term • Finalize transit modeling framework • Revisit the White Paper and Data Dictionary • Incorporate latest developments • Make more user friendly • Work with districts and MPO to implement the FSUTMS standards

  25. Future Directions • Short Term (continued) • Implement FSUTMS reporting templates • Develop transportation network coding standards • Trip generation model • Comprehensive review of current models • Pursue income based trip generation model • Develop new structure and coefficients if necessary

  26. Future Directions • Short Term (continued) • Model development & application guidelines • Best practice • Model calibration and validation guidelines • Calibration and Validation standards based on Review of Default Parameters Study • Model Applications • Work with Citilabs to provide customized FSUTMS CUBE software

  27. FSUTMS CUBE Menu System

  28. Future Directions • Continuing Efforts • Model training workshops • Improve existing workshops • Develop new workshops as necessary • Assist model specific training • Online education/training • Technical support • Improve and enhance web portal

  29. Future Directions • Long Term • Five-Year Model Development Plan
