Appendix A
Scope of Work
The tasks proposed for this project are described in detail in approximate order of completion.
The training tasks and documentation tasks are described at the end of this section. However,
these tasks are intended to be ongoing throughout the project. The training sessions will be an
integral part of the model improvement, calibration, and analysis tasks. The proposed schedule,
including the timing of the tasks, is shown in the next section.
Review Existing Model Structure - The goals of the revised model will be discussed with
Auburn staff These goals will be documented and used to evaluate the current model and to set
the framework for the revised model. The existing model structure will then be evaluated. This
evaluation will include review of the model area boundary to appropriately model the study area.
The model area must be sufficiently large to adequately model the area to analyzed. TModel
Corporation staff members developed the original Auburn model and are familiar with its basis.
The existing model structure definitions and descriptions for class, area, and type for links and
nodes will be reviewed Zone boundaries and centroid loading connections will be examined.
During this review process, all of the major streets in the Auburn area will be driven by TModel
Corporation personnel and videotaped. The videotape will be used to review areas of question
during the calibration process.
Develop Revised Model Files - The consultant team will work with Auburn staff to incorporate
the changes The modifications will be made jointly with the consultant team working with
Auburn staff to make the revisions. The changes will be documented along with the procedure for
making the changes so that Auburn staff can make future modifications as well. These
modifications may include changes to the model boundaries, zone boundaries, centroid connection
locations, and link and node characteristics. The new traffic count data will be entered in this task.
This task includes combining the earlier zone maps and digitizing the changes as necessary
Recommend/Enter Land Use Data - The land use data categories will be reviewed and revised
as necessary New land use data will be collected by Auburn staff in the new land use categories
The Auburn staff will enter the land use data with assistance from TModel Corporation.
Recommend/Revise Trip Generation Rates - The trip generation strategy currently in use will
be reviewed and revised as necessary Auburn staff will be included in the review process The
trip generation rates derived through this process will be disaggregated into the trip purposes
(HBW, HBO, NI-IB) for modeling and will be used in the initial re-calibration runs. Trip
generation rates may be revised during the actual calibration according to the results of the
calibration runs
Evaluate External Trip Characteristics - The revised external traffic counts will be used as the
starting place for the evaluation and updating of external traffic. The existing external-external
(X-X) traffic volumes will be evaluated and reviewed with Auburn staff The study team will
develop appropriate internal-external origins and destinations by trip types and develop a through
trip table using data developed from the previous modeling efforts and/or the PSRC regional
model
Calibration - The calibration description was included in the previous section on Model
Development Philosophy TModel Corporation personnel will work in conjunction with Auburn
staff to recalibrate the model. It is expected that the calibration process will be conducted jointly
so that Auburn staff arc familiar with the process and the adjustments that are made during the
process.
Assignment volumes on all screenlines and links will match base-date adjusted ground counts
within limits imposed by graphs on allowable screenline calibration errors and allowable link
calibration errors in NCHRP 255 (pp 41, 49) The process is iterative.
• All data and assumptions will be quantified and coded for modeling.
• A distribution and assignment will be run.
• Resulting volume assignments will be compared against screenline and link volume
ground data.
• Volumes which are not sufficiently well modeled will be analyzed for possible data
or assumption errors
• Solutions will be recoded into the network, land-use, and or driver behavioral
function coefficients.
• Justifications for alterations will be documented.
• The process will be repeated until calibration accuracies are achieved.
The budgets presented in the cost section assume calibration for one selected peak hour
Additional peak hours require collection and compilation of additional count data and adjustment
of travel parameters to reflect these conditions.
Traffic Forecasts - This proposal includes tasks to provide traffic forecasts for two future years.
These years are assumed to be 2005 and 2020 The efforts for the forecasts include the following
tasks for each of the forecast years
• Collect forecast land use data from the City for Auburn traffic analysis zones.
• Collect data for perimeter zones from PSRC Adjust this data to the proper year
if necessary Adjust the data to the proper categories and zone structure.
• Provide compiled land use to the City for checking.
• Generate future trips
• Collect growth rates from the City for external zones. Adjust the external zones for
the proper forecast year, including through, external-internal and internal-external
trips.
• Code the assumed network modifications.
• Run the model for each scenario
• Provide plots showing volumes, link v/c ratios, and Level of Service
1 v
V
• Document the improvements made and the assumptions for the forecast year
adjustments
It is assumed that for each of the two forecast years, three network scenarios will be tested. These
will include a "do-nothing", "all assumed improvements", and one additional run. The budget
section includes cost estimates for additional network scenarios. In addition, preliminary forecast
runs be performed during the calibration process to insure that the model is working right for the
right reasons, not simply due to some compensating base year errors.
Model Analysis - The model results will be analyzed for the base calibration year This analysis
will he conducted as a team with Auburn staff and TModel Corporation. These will include the
typical plots of traffic volumes, travel time, v/c ratios, etc. In addition, advanced techniques such
as Level of Service (using the new TMODEL2 Level of Service module), Level of Service
averaging, emissions/fuel consumption, and isochrones will also be used. The Level of Service
Module includes the speed, traffic density, and volume measurements as specified in Chapters 3,
7, 8, and 10 of NCHRP SR 209 (Highway Capacity Manual)
Documentation - The model and the modeling process will be documented using both
chronological and contextual methods. A notebook will be kept monitoring the process on a step-
by-step, file-by-file basis. In addition, all quantification of assumptions will be summarized. All
plotter outputs of the network distribution and assignment runs will contain commentary on the
analysis of the run as well as notations concerning corrective measures.
Documentation provided to the City will allow a knowledgeable TModeler to repeat all the
processes undertaken and to run alternative scenarios based on the information it contains along
with the set of computer files
A final report summarizing the study will be prepared and delivered to the City of Auburn.
Training - Optimally, training in the use of TMODEL2 is an ongoing process. For this project,
we propose to work closely with City of Auburn staff so they are fully aware of the process and
techniques used to develop the model
