Abstract

Urban expressway plays an important role in the movement of goods, people, and services, and is essential for urban development and economic growth. Thus it is critical to plan it right in the first place, and to simulate the functions and evaluate the effectiveness of its planning scheme before implementation. We have developed an integrated macro and micro simulation method to evaluate the effectiveness of the planned expressway system. This paper summarizes the main contents of analysis and evaluation method in a case study. We found that the integrated macro and micro simulation method is very efficient and effective in analyzing and assessing the effectiveness of the planned expressway framework, and identifying the deficiency of the plan, which is unachievable by either macro and micro simulation alone. The method could be useful for other expressway planning, analysis and simulation.
