Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into Operations and Planning Modeling Tools: Reference Material

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Reliability Project L04 report titled Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures into Operations and Planning Modeling Tools: Reference Material that discusses the activities required to develop operational models to address the needs of the L04 research project. This report also discusses the underlying methodologies of the simulation tools developed in the L04 project: the Trajectory Processor and the Scenario Manager.

The SHRP 2 Reliability Project L04 also produced a report titled Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures in Operations and Planning Modeling Tools Application Guidelines, which provides an overview of the methodology and tools that can be applied to existing microsimulation and mesoscopic modeling software in order to assess travel time reliability.

The SHRP 2 Reliability Project L04 also produced a report titled Incorporating Reliability Performance Measures in Operations and Planning Modeling Tools, which explores the underlying conceptual foundations of travel modeling and traffic simulation, and provides practical means of generating realistic reliability performance measures using network simulation models.
