The model validation for trip assignment using all or nothing and user’s equilibrium method

Abstract

In transportation planning, an accurate transportation model is crucial. The trip-based approach is widely used, which relies on the four-step model (FSM) for transportation modeling. The model generates an origin-destination (O-D) Matrix as the starting point, which is then used to determine traffic flow on the road network through a trip assignment. This approach is superior because the (O-D) Matrix is a result of the interaction between land use and accessibility. In Boyolali Regency, research was conducted using traffic volume data that reflected the conditions at the beginning of 2023. The gravity model was used to determine trip distribution for this study, and the Least Squares method and negative exponential function calibrated the model. The study aim is to compare the performance of All or Nothing and User’s Equilibrium assignment methods using the EMME/3 software. The results showed that All or Nothing had a higher R2 value of 0.913 compared to User’s Equilibrium’s 0.911, suggesting that the All or Nothing assignment method is more suitable for Boyolali Regency. The research predicted that the total movement of Boyolali Regency in 2023 would be 12,354 pcu/hour, with most of the movement being external-external. As Boyolali Regency is a transit area, vehicles only pass through it.
