Suggestions will be reviewed and locations for analysis will be selected. In addition, traffic volumes at some intersections will be generated. In response to a request, information on travel speeds will also be developed. The results of these comparisons will be available by MIS Meeting No. 4. It is scheduled that preliminary findings will be mailed to Team members before the next meeting.
Traffic modeling is only one of the tools to be used in the analysis.
It was noted that one goal of the study is to help the Team to understand differences between strategies and to help them reach a consensus. The Study Team is looking for inputs as to the type of information that the MIS Team needs for its evaluation. It is desirable to keep the amount of a statistics and data to a level that is useful for evaluation and not to generate a lot of numbers, but rather to present information. It was noted that in addition to roadway traffic other transportation modes will be examined. Data is being gathered on freight movement, airport facilities, railroads and pedestrians.
