| Abstract | This study focuses on assessing the efficiency of a new proposed transportation system. This new at grade transportation system is free of signal controls and achieves zero conflict points at intersections which could prevent many accidents and help reduce travel time delay significantly. Realistic set of travel demand is imposed on this network to conduct a microscopic traffic simulation using TransModeler v5.0. Microscopic traffic simulation addresses the behaviour of each individual vehicle in the network. A comparative study between already existing grid-based Sioux falls network, based in South Dakota, and Chet network is conducted to calculate the efficiency of Chet network. Two Chet networks are designed in this study for an accurate comparison. Results suggest that both Chet networks handle traffic better than Sioux falls network in terms of mobility. Recommendations for further research are also discussed in this study. |
