This network will then be reviewed to ensure that the proposed geometries match the <br /> best assumptions available. <br /> MOEs and traffic signal timings will be updated and added to the model. <br /> As with the base year no-build scenario, the previously created forecast data will be utilized as the <br /> starting point for developing the trip table for the two peak hours for each of the models. As with the <br /> base year no-build, the trip tables will be set up in a path based manner. <br /> The peak hour matrices will be imported into the updated future year no-build model. The model will be <br /> run as many times as the base year was needed to achieve statistically significant calibration. Data from <br /> the simulation will be output and analyzed using an augmented form of the previously created <br /> spreadsheet tool. <br /> Deliverable: <br /> A series of micro-simulation models for each of the areas as needed for the future year no-build <br /> scenario <br /> The simulation analysis and results will be prepared <br /> Maps showing the design hour traffic and measures of effectiveness <br /> Traffic Operations Results recap <br /> Future Year Build Model Development <br /> A copy of the future year build VisSim model will be created and to it all LRT projects will be added. This <br /> network will then be reviewed to ensure that the proposed geometries match the best assumptions <br /> available. <br /> MOEs and traffic signal timings will be updated and added to the model, <br /> As with the other scenarios, the previously created forecast data will be utilized as the starting point for <br /> developing the trip table for the two peak hours for each of the models.
