Introduction

• Transport for London

• The Railplan Model

• The Capital Model

• Accessibility Analysis with ENIF

Page 3: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Transport for London

• Transport for London (TfL) is the integrated body responsible for London's transport system.

• Its role is:• to implement the Mayor's Transport Strategy for London• manage the transport services across the capital for which the

Mayor has responsibility.

• TfL manages:• London's buses, • The Underground, • Docklands Light Railway (DLR) • London Trams.

The Railplan Model• Runs on EMME/2 under UNIX

• AM Peak Crowded Transit Assignment model of London (Based on Congtras.mac)• Underground• Rail• Tram• Bus• Docklands Light Rail (DLR)

• Uses Size 16 licence• 1500-3000+ Zones• 50000+ Links

• Distribution-Mode Split model outside Railplan

The Capital Model

• CAPITAL = Calculator (for) Public Transport Accessibility in London

• Integrates Railplan with GIS

• Uses finer level of detail for trip access and egress zones and walk network

• Provides detailed calculations of travel time by public transport from a set of origins to a specific destination, such as: • Town centres• Development sites• Hospitals• Supermarkets

• Considers all aspects of the journey time including • Access and Egress time• Wait time• In Vehicle time

• Uses census output areas to combine socio-economic data such as population to further quantify the level of accessibility – • jobs within 45 minutes journey time of a town

centre.

Capital: Strengths and Weaknesses

• Can produce very detailed outputs

• Can link to socio-economic data

• Runs under Windows only, while master version of Railplan runs under UNIX

• Long Run Times: 24 hours+

Solution?

• Simpler approach: EMME/2 and ENIF only – no linkage to GIS

• ENIF will work on any EMME/2 platform

Page 7: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Accessibility Analysis with EMME/2 & ENIF

• EMME/2 – Assemble Data• Use “Disaggregate Assignment” (p4-

371, EMME/2 Manual)

• Analysis of individual trips between origins and destinations using Module 5.35

• ENIF - Display Data• Isochrones in pseudo-grids• Using outputs of Module 5.35

• Inspired by node/link grids (Winnipeg emissions example)

Page 8: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

EMME/2 Considerations

• Module 5.35 is only partially integrated with other modules• Cannot use @attributes in place of trip file• Cannot store DISA results directly in scenario• Lack of control over DISA outputs

• Therefore a workaround is needed…

Page 9: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

How it works (1) – EMME/2 Macro

• User calls an EMME/2 macro• Whether origin or destination• Which origin or destination

• The macro will do the following1. Mark Nodes for output to a file2. Output Nodes to file3. Create Trip File for Module 5.354. Run Module 5.355. Import Module 5.35 Results

• Main points of macros will be shown in turn

Page 10: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Macro Details (1) - Mark Nodes for Output

• Relevant Nodes• Station Entrances (XXYY01-XXYY09)• Selected Bus Nodes (XX9801-XX9999)

• Standard 2.42/2.41 Operation:• 2.41• ~+|1|y|@sta |n|(i.mod.100).lt.10 ||10000,999999||1|2• ~+|1|y|@bssel|n|(i.mod.10000).ge.9800 ||10000,999999||1|2• ~+|1|y|@selnd|n|(@sta+@bssel).gt.0 ||10000,999999||1|2• q

Page 11: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Macro Details (2) – Output Nodes to file

• Uses a standard report file• 2.14

• ~+|1|n|@selnd=1||2

• q

Page 12: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Macro Details (3) - Create Trip File for 5.35

• The report file is read• ~@ is used to skip the first few lines of the output file, then read

each selected node sequentially• The single origin and all destinations are written to a trip file

• A file of the following format is produced:t trips a acnod=309903 egnod= 10101 a acnod=309903 egnod= 10201 a acnod=309903 egnod= 10202 a acnod=309903 egnod= 10203 a acnod=309903 egnod= 10301Etc…

Macro Details (4) – Run Module 5.35

• Report and Punch

• Condensed Report• Does not show itineraries• Allows easier parsing of data• Following data extracted:• inveh • wait • board • auxtr

Page 14: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Macro Details (5) – Store Results in Network

• Import to Network from Output file• 2.41

• ~+|3|@inveh|n|@selnd=1||%x%,4|y|2|y

• ~+|3|@wait |n|@selnd=1||%x%,5|y|2|y

• ~+|3|@board|n|@selnd=1||%x%,6|y|2|y

• ~+|3|@auxtr|n|@selnd=1||%x%,7|y|2|y

• q

• Once node attributes are stored in the network scenario, they can be viewed in ENIF

Page 15: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

ENIF Considerations

• ENIF Grids can only sum node or link values• They cannot compute min/max/avg

• Another workaround - generic elements and generic symbols are used• Node values are aggregated within a generic element grid• Node values are displayed using generic symbols

• The size of the symbols are scaled to the zoom level, to give the appearance of a geographical grid

Page 16: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

How it works (2) - ENIF Configurable Attributes

Page 17: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Example: Zone 2205 as an Origin

Page 18: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Conclusions

• Each set of isochrones takes around 2 minutes to produce

• Self-contained process within EMME/2 and ENIF

• Useful as a ‘first sieve’ of options before running full Capital runs

Page 19: Transport Accessibility Analysis with ENIF and Railplan Matt Carlson, ArupSteve Miller, Transport for London

Further Developments

• More options added:• Modify Weights• Change Default Walk Speeds

• Run entirely from ENIF:• Integration of EMME/2 and ENIF hinted at by INRO• Click on a node, automatically run Module 5.35 and display

outputs
