I-95 Statewide Corridor Model in NC: Unique Features and Challenges

Purpose of the Model and Unique Features Toll feasibility for I-95 Corridor in the state of North

Carolina Understand travel patterns on I-95 in NC Length of the corridor modeled – 182 miles First study of this magnitude in US Based on trip distance, studied 3 trip patterns for 2-trip

purposes:

Separate diversion calculation application for long-distance and in-corridor trips

• External-External • Passenger Car

• External-Internal • Heavy Vehicle

• Internal-Internal

ALPR data collected at 10 locations• Eight on I-95• One each on:

o I-40 , ando US-64

ALPR data collected and matched for two vehicle class

• Passenger Cars

• Trucks 48-hour tube class counts

collected at each location Travel Time data for I-95 and

VoT and Model Formulation Truck driver VOT does not

change as a function of distance.

Non-CV VOT increases as distance increases.

Intercity travel VOT is higher than local travel VOT for passenger travelers

Different VOT for :• E-E : PC and Trucks• E –I intercity: PC and Trucks• E –I local: PC• I –I intercity: PC and Trucks• I –I local: PC

Purpose PC ($/hr) Trucks ($/hr)

EE $18.11 $30.13

E-I - Intercity $15.72 $30.13

E-I Local $11.23

I-I - Intercity $12.16 $30.13

I-I Local $8.68

Toll Share = (1 / (1 + eU ))U= a*(Timetoll – Timefree) + b*Cost + CToll + CETC + CCalib
