File:Composite traffic.ANA

The trip simulation model originally by Tuomisto and Tainio, built for the Helsinki Metropolitan area. The model (developed in Analytica) calculates health and other costs of private car and composite traffic. Composite traffic is a hypothetical form of large-scale demand-responsive public transportation. The original model version was published in BioMed Central in 2005.

Previous version of the model have also been archived in N:\Huippuyksikko\Tutkimus\R79_CompositeTraffic2\Mallit and its sub-folders.

Description about the module Public matrix.

All bus routes

Calculates all bus routes that exist based on bus line information. This has so far always been used as the basis for public transportation scenarios. There is no distinction between different times of day, although that information is available as well.

Active routes

This calculates the but routes that actually fulfil the criteria of Public level. This means the number of people that are required to take that bus route before it is run. The default is 0 which means that the bus route is always run. The maximum is 50 which means that the bus is full in every timestep (12 min).

Bus existence

Does the bus route exist between From - To at this time of day? Yes/No. Uses Active routes as the input.

How should they be used?

• Active routes can be calculated for different Public levels. These levels can then be used to calculate which trips can be done with buses (i.e., for public transport trips, is the bus available or not). In addition, the level of bus routes determines the kilometres driven and thus the costs of bus transportation.
