Refinement of The Travel Demand Model Output
Post-Process
Applied at the link level
Procedures from NCHRP-255
“Link Smoothing”
Benefits• Raw Assignment Capital Beltway RMSE 14%
• Link Refinement Capital Beltway RMSE 6%
• Annual Growth Factor RMSE 25%

Link Refinement
Part 1 – Model Bias
• Ratio Adjustment
• Difference Adjustment
Part 2 – Redistribution
• Count factor
• Capacity Factor
![Page 13: A Practical Approach for Post-Processing Managed Lane Facilities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568157a7550346895dc53707/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

ETL — Managed Facility
Redistribution Problem
Capacity Based
Constraints:→ Reflect Managed Nature of Facility
→ Reflect the Results of Model Run
![Page 14: A Practical Approach for Post-Processing Managed Lane Facilities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568157a7550346895dc53707/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Post-Processing Approaches for ETL Facility
Use the Raw Model Output
Limit ETL Facility to 1650 vphpl
Incorporate ETL Into the Link Refinement Procedure
![Page 15: A Practical Approach for Post-Processing Managed Lane Facilities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568157a7550346895dc53707/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
ETL Raw Model Output Approach
Represent the Toll Impact on the Demand
Issue of Coarse Network – Loading Points
Macro ― Level Assignment Algorithm
Facility Open to All Traffic ― Over/Under
![Page 16: A Practical Approach for Post-Processing Managed Lane Facilities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568157a7550346895dc53707/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Fixed Volume Flow Approach
Limit the Volume 1650 vphpl
Redistribute the Surplus or Shortfall to other Parallel Competing Routes
Differs from Results of the Travel Demand Model Assignment
Not Reflecting the Cost of Toll – Pricing Question
![Page 17: A Practical Approach for Post-Processing Managed Lane Facilities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568157a7550346895dc53707/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Incorporating the ETL into the Link Refinement Approach
Redistribute Volumes Over the Cutline
Capacity & Count Factors
New Facility Impedance – Capacity
Adjust Capacity for the ETL Facility Reflect Demand
![Page 18: A Practical Approach for Post-Processing Managed Lane Facilities](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062809/568157a7550346895dc53707/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Capacity Adjustment
Freeway LOS “E” Capacity (2310 vphpl)
Apply Peak to Daily Ratio Factor (8%) ― Daily Capacity
Two Model Runs
• Toll
• Non-Toll
Adjust the ETL Capacity Based on the Ratio of the Raw Assignments for Toll & Non-Toll
Apply the Ratio to the LOS “E” Capacity for the ETL
Redistribute Volumes over the Cutline
Review Results – Adjust Toll Accordingly
