VALIDATE – A Transport Model for Germany

> A nationwide model for Germany(82 million residents)

> Hourly volumes on roads

> Should use as many public (or commercial) digital data as possible

> Should be easy to update

> Applications

> Regional and nationwide forecasts

> Traffic volumes for the set up of billboards

> Travel time estimation for navigation systems

3© PTV AG 2007

> Representing Germany and the surrounding European countries

> 1.4 million links

> About 7.000 traffic zones

> 9 trip purposes

> 21 person groups

> auto and truck traffic

> quasi-dynamic assignment(time-of-day volumes)

Road Network Processing

> Initial German Navteq network consists of ca. 6 million links

> Removing minor roads

> Generalization: removing two-leg node

> Automated, reversible and repeatable process

> Mapping of Navteq attributes to assignment relevant attributes

> Adding a reduced European network

> Finally 1.4 million links

5© PTV AG 2007

Traffic Zones

> ca. 10,000 residents per zone

> 5 to 12 connectors per zone

> Finally 7,000 zones(refinement to 10,000 ongoing)

Land Use Data

> National and regional population statistics

> 85,000 market analysis zones

> commercially available

> Inhabitants

> Employment by industry

> Buying power

> Additionally

> schools, universities

> special attractors(fun parks etc.)
