Sustainable Transport Objective: reduce the usage of private cars Urban Planning: mixed land use high density land use to reduce trip lengths Economic incentives to use desired transport modes in variable pressure: improvement of public transport (new or better systems) P+R HOV lanes bus lanes usage charges (parking, area, roads) removal of road space
Modelling Park + Ride - Principle Public Transport Private Transport Initial Potential Final
Modelling Park + Ride - Method Define P&R interchange sites for each city centre zone add a virtual private transport link at the P+R site with impedance = f(PuT price, PuT travel time, ...) and connect zone to the other end of the virtual link Determine P&R demand perform private transport assignment and determine proportion of demand using virtual P&R links Split P&R demand off private transport demand add a zone to each P&R site and connect to both private and public transport subtract P&R demand from private demand add back private transport leg (up to P&R zone) add public transport leg (from P&R zone) to PuT demand Assign changed public and private transport demands separately
High Occupancy Vehicles Focus in SUTRA: car pools Incentives for participating in a car pool: Availability of dedicated HOV lanes Reserved parking spaces at convenient locations Exemption from road pricing Typical usage similar to Park & Ride car pool members start their trips separately, meet at an agreed place, share one vehicle for remaining leg
HOV - Method Approach similar to Park & Ride Define HOV as a new transportation system Add HOV incentives to network, e.g. additional lanes reserved to transportation system HOV and closed for car etc. Define HOV meeting places (zone + virtual link) Adjust demand Determine HOV demand Split off HOV demand from private transport demand Add back individual legs to private transport demand Form HOV demand from shared legs Reassign changed demand to network
Road User Charging (1) traditional approach: route choice depends on travel time considering toll: route choice depends on travel time and costs problem: drivers have different sensitivity to costs („value of time“)
Road User Charging (2) : Value of Time impedance CritR of a route R consists of a time component tR and a cost component cR. time and cost are connected through a VT [€ / h], [$ / h], ... CritR
Road User Charging (3) : Methods CritR “traditional” toll assignment TRIBUT constant VT for all users randomly distributed VT mono-criterial bi-criterial

Modelling of City Structure Changes Conventional Demand Modelling based on structural data (residents, work places, educational facilities, shopping facilities) based on behavioural data (homogenous groups, trip chains, OD groups) SUTRA Demand Modelling „common“ „hypothetical“ scenarios dedicated demand modelling beyond the project scope derivation of the scenario demand from the analysis case.
Demand Modelling Details Trip generation change of the sum of all trips in the demand matrices based on population and mobility rates Mode share individual treatment of the demand matrices Trip distribution sensitivity factor: small ... strong reduction of long distance trips form factor: change of the ratio of trips between the zones.

Cold Flows (1) „Cold Flows“ = Flows of vehicles operated under cold engine conditions 5 Pollutants CO2 CO HC NOx FC 3 vehicle categories vehicles driven by petrol engine with catalyst vehicles driven by petrol engine without catalyst vehicles driven by Diesel engine
Cold Flows (2) Each trip starts with a cold engine Three Vehicle Categories in the Primary Demand Segment only (due to computation time) All other Private Transport demand segments: driven by Diesel engines Default values for vehicle shares in the Primary Demand Segment can be modified
Cold Flows (3) Shares of vehicles in a link producing CO2 from a petrol engine with catalyst under cold conditions
