Appendix A <br />CORSIM and SYNCHRO Traffic Analysis <br /> <br />SimTraffic should be run for ali scenarios to Check for geometric correctness and to <br />compare the LOS to Synchro. Synchro' does not show the full effects of queuing and <br />blocking. <br /> <br />Below summarizes some of the Mn/DOT resources and data available to you: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />The Mn/DOT Traffic Engineering web site, <br />h~tp://www, dot.state.mn.us/trafficeng/signalsl 0l/indexlhtml is a great reference for <br />Mn/DOT Signal Operation Manual, Signals 101 course material, and a variety of other <br />traffic publications. All found under the Publications button, in the Manuals and <br />Guidelines pulldown. <br /> <br />2) Turning movements are available on the Mn/DOT website: <br /> http://wxx~'.dot.state.nm.us/metro/warrant/, or by calling Colleen LarSon at 651-634- <br /> 2144. <br /> <br />Attached is an arterial modeling checklist that should be used prior to <br />submit-ting any files to Mn/DOT. Synchro modeling files should be sent via <br />email to Metro Traffic's Modeling unit oat. or:to@dot:, state, mn. us. We <br />ask that only the .sy6 files, electronic turning movements, & reports be sent <br />electronically. Please do not include any of the .hst files. If you have questions <br />or concerns, please contact Pat Otto at: 651-582-1631. <br /> Arterial Modeling Checklist <br /> When submitting Synchro (.sy6 or syT) files <br /> <br /> Ch.eck Item <br /> Turning mov.ement counts are o. yer 2 ~,ears old.. <br /> Forecasted volumes have been checked by Metro (2) <br /> ...~ All impacted signals are represent.ed in moci~ling (3) <br /> Storage. bay lengths are a.ccurately entered in the lane window <br /> Leading and trailing detectors are entered in the lane window <br /> "l Traffic VolUme. ~iata is accu'r~.tely coded in ihe volume window <br /> iSeak hour factors 10°k reasonable in the volume window " <br /> <br /> HeaVy vehicle %'s are set to something other than the default <br /> <br /> Curren;t sign.~l timing is coded in ..t. be timing window'(l)r <br /> Controller type is accurately coded in the timing window <br /> Left and right turn types are ~ode~t'-in the timing .window '" <br /> <br />I Current signal geometry i's coded i'n the phasing window (1) <br />"- Cur:rent signal phasing is 'coded in thephasing window (1)' <br />.'- P_edestrian phasing is"code~l in the phasing windg~' " <br /> <br />-519- <br /> <br /> <br />
