Task
yverkehrsplanung GmbH has designed and developed a multimodal transport model in the Austrian province of Styria. Initially, the transport model set up as part of the I2VS research project covered the greater Graz area. In the following years, it became necessary to extend the study area to the rest of Styria.
The traffic model comprises 1500 traffic districts.
Work steps
The following steps were implemented
- Specification of the model,
- Processing of behavioral data,
- GIS-based structural data preparation,
- Transport demand modeling.
- Traffic assignemnt PrT and PuT,
- Model calibration.
Results
The integrated transport model is multimodal provides the following results for all scenarios considered:
- Traffic volume by route, differentiated by means of transport, groups of people and activities,
- Domestic, source, destination and through traffic,
- Travel distances by means of transportation.
- Development of vehicle traffic volumes and public transport user numbers.
The traffic model is characterized by a high spatial and temporal resolution.
In addition to providing traffic data for the traffic situation system and environmental studies (noise, pollutant emissions), the traffic model also serves as a basis for detailed studies, mobility concepts, etc. It was used in the following studies, among others:
- Bruck an der Mur: traffic planning study for new land uses around the station,
- Smart City Graz: Development of new urban districts including public transport access,
- Kapfenberg/Bruck: Effects of demographic change on transport demand,
- Kapfenberg B20 – relief lane.
