The traffic flow in an urban street network is a complicated system which involves many variables. Some of these variables relate to the network's geometric features; some of these variables reflect the characteristics of the vehicles, drivers and pedestrians using the network. The Two Fluid Model was introduced to help evaluate the quality of traffic service in urban street networks. The model parameters, T_m and n, are used as a scale to compare traffic quality in two or more urban street networks. It is known that the higher the values of the two parameters in a network, the lower the quality of the network's traffic service. This report presents material which may be used to predict the correlation between the Two Fluid Model parameters and the geometric features of a specific street network. The Two Fluid Model parameters will be used as dependent variables in this analysis. Seven network geometric features were selected to be used as independent variables. Using linear regression techniques, the variables will be analyzed to formulate two models. One model will explain the relationship between Tm and corresponding geometric features; the other model will explain the relationship between T_m and its corresponding features. A basic understanding of these two models will allow traffic engineers to develop strategies and/or network changes to improve traffic service in a city's street network. This will especially help networks still in the planning and/or design stage. Because the trip time per unit distance, T, is an important traffic variable for both the Two Fluid Model and in fuel consumption models, portions of this report concentrated on establishing a relation between the two models. / Master of Science

The purpose of this project was to investigate the safety of urban arterial non-access controlled roads in Worcester, Massachusetts. An investigation into the dependent variable proved inconclusive and the historical accident rate was used. The best functional form for these roads was unclear so both linear and log-linear models were developed. A linear model was developed that predicted the total accident crash rate and log-linear model was developed to predict the same thing. A second linear model was developed to predict the total injury accident crash rate. The models were validated using independent data where the linear total accident crash rate model was found to be the most robust of the three in that both state primary roads and other arterial roads could have crash rates predicted to a better than fifty percent error.

This creative project has analyzed the feasibility of project #35 of the Delaware County Long Range Plan. This analysis was accomplished by determining if present capacity is adequate to accommodate traffic volumes projected using current data. Once this relationship was determined, alternatives were developed that would aid in maximizing the efficiency of traffic movement in the corridor. Eventually it was concluded that the project should be undertaken with some minor additions. / Department of Urban Planning
