ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 87 <br /> Step 3— Finalizing the parameter weightage for each project type. <br /> In this step,the parameter weightage for each type of project was determined through a combination of survey <br /> results,available data,and relevance to the list of projects.The next set of charts show the relative weights of the <br /> parameters for each project type. <br /> 7% The new location and widening projects were evaluated <br /> Improve using the Travel Demand Model.This allowed for the <br /> Freight <br /> Movement comparison of base year and future year volumes. <br /> The list of projects in the TMP are primarily capital <br /> projects.Hence,the survey scores pertaining to <br /> `improve pavement condition'were eliminated and <br /> equally distributed amongst the other parameters. <br /> For new roadways,there were no base year volumes. <br /> In order to calculate the measures,the outputs for <br /> -5 O 43% build volumes and build V/C ratios were separately <br /> g Improve <br /> Congestionnormalized.These values were then used for the change <br /> Access and in volume and change in V/C scores and merged back <br /> Connectivity with the rest of the list. <br /> 44 Parameter Measure <br /> Figure 6.1: Score Composition for New Improve AccessChange in Volume/ <br /> Roadway/Widening projects and ConnectivityManage Change in Capacity <br /> Relative change in <br /> Congestion <br /> Volume to Capacity <br /> ratios (V/C) <br /> improve - Change in Truck <br /> Movement <br /> Volumes <br /> Table 6.2: Parameters for New Roadway/ <br /> Widening Projects <br /> PAGE 48 Orange County Transportation Multimodal Plan <br />
