This research created a) the statewide segmentation database containing the geometric and demand information for all freeways in North Carolina as well as b) enhancements to the FREEVAL-NC tool (e.g., PDF reports, access segmentation database, enhances demand wizard, etc.). The online segmentation database enables to set up the model in a matter of minutes and then enables the users to perform any single-day and whole-year freeway analyses such as work zone or reliability analyses.
This project contained a significant technology transfer piece, which was to hold six classes and train about 76 participants from NCDOT staff and consultants working on NCDOT projects. One of the classes was held in a webinar format and was recorded for NCDOT’s future use cases. The resulting product of this research project are the FREEVAL-NC tool, FREEVAL-NC user guide, online segmentation database, the training material, and the recorded a three-hour webinar.
