Abstract:

This abstract, which appears in a compendium of conference papers, lists the benefits of using a time-space traffic assignment for simulating traffic flows in the Seattle Metropolitan area. A conventional model overestimates the congestion level substantially in certain periods, while the time-space based traffic assignment model is capable of simulating traffic flows in short intervals by incorporating the departure time factor.

Supplemental Notes:

Additional support was provided by the Puget Sound Regional Council and King County, Washington.
