1 TRAVEL MODELLING GROUP TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE November 13, 2013
2 Today s Agenda Update on Recent Progress 2012 Base Network Development City of Toronto Model Deployment and First Impressions Update on NCS 11 GTAModel Version 4.0 Workplan
3 Update on Recent Progress New Toolbox Tools: Geo Renumber Nodes: renumbers nodes based on geography Check Functions tool (and XTMF module) for ensuring that all functions (VDF, TPF, TTF) referenced in a scenario are defined in the emmebank. Generate Lines from GTFS: tool used to create line itineraries in the 2012 network Network Editing library for Python scripts
4 Update on Recent Progress 2012 Network (Transit Lines) For agencies with GTFS data, full-day itineraries are being developed Several agencies have draft networks sent to them for review: TTC GO Transit YRT MiWay Still in the pipeline: Brampton Durham (non GTFS) HSR Oakville (non-GTFS) Milton (non-GTFS) Burlington (non-GTFS)
5 City of Toronto Model Deployment The model has been deployed The city is currently validating the results First impressions?
6 Update on NCS11 A revision is required to handle transit ROW encoding issues. Proposed solution: use upper-case modes to flag links with transit-only lanes A memo was circulated late October with no objections Additionally, the standard for transit line IDs needs to be re- visited to take into account full-day service: More agencies than just the TTC have 3-digit route numbers
