Is it possible to change the traffic volume?

[Taehyoung Kim]

Hello.

I'm using the dataset for Alexandria. 

Is it possible to change the traffic volume in the network?

I want to compare the difference of results when I change the traffic volume in the network.

Please let me know if you know how to do it.

Thanks,

Th Kim

You can change the individual link/street capacity from the Input Link file. Or you can change the capacity of the output Link file from the TransimsNet.

Or, on the demand side, you can change the trip table. There is no way to directly control the volumes on the roadways however.

Thank you for answers.

Do I need to change the trip table if I want to keep the capacity?

Could you explain how to change the trip table to change the volume?

You can add a growth factor in the ConvertTrips control file to expand the input trip table to include more trips in TRANSIMS.

As David said, you can change the Key "TRIP_SCALING_FACTOR_#" value. If you want to increase the volume, just change it from 1.0 to 1.5 or other larger number as you like.
