Modeling Services for Times Square New York City Department of Transportation
Reconstruction of 7th Avenue and Broadway from 41st to 48th Streets in Manhattan required lane closures in the streets surrounding Times Square, one of the busiest areas in New York City. In order to study the system-wide traffic impacts and evaluate mitigation measures during construction, LiRo-Hill modified and calibrated a subarea simulation network, based on the existing Manhattan Traffic Model (MTM) in AIMSUN platform, to develop feasible mitigation measures, MPT, and detour plans. MTM is an extensive microscopic simulation model utilized by NYCDOT for various traffic analyses related to ongoing infrastructure projects. The AIMSUN model exhibits heavy vehicular and pedestrian flows and their interaction and congestion causing conflicts.
