Highway Network Vehicle Class Toll Factors File

vehicle_class_toll_factors.csv

Required file. Used to specify the relative toll values by six vehicle classes by Facility name, scenario year and time of day. Can be used, for example, to identify "free for HOV" type managed lane facilties. Used by the Import network Modeller tool.

Example:

Facility_name, Year, Time_of_Day, DA_Factor, S2_Factor, S3_Factor, TRK_L_Factor, TRK_M_Factor, TRK_H_Factor
I-15,          2016,          EA,       1.0,       0.0,       0.0,          1.0,         1.03,         2.33
SR-125,        2016,         ALL,       1.0,       1.0,       1.0,          1.0,         1.03,         2.33
I-5,           2035,         ALL,       1.0,       1.0,       0.0,          1.0,         1.03,         2.33

The toll values for each class on each link are calculated by multiplying the input toll value from hwycov.e00 (ITOLLA, ITOLLP, ITOLLO) by this factor, matched by the Facility name (together with the toll factors from off_peak_toll_factors.csv in converting ITOLLO to the off-peak times-of-day).

The network links are matched to a record in this file based on the NM, FXNM or TXNM values (in that order). A simple substring matching is used, so the record with Facility_name "I-15" matches any link with name "I-15 SB", "I-15 NB", "I-15/DEL LAGO DAR NB" etc. The records should not be overlapping: if there are two records which match a given link it will be an arbitrary choice as to which one is used.

Note that if a link does not match to a record in this file, the default factors (specified in the table below) will be applied to said link. It is OK if there are records for which there are no link tolls.

Column Name Description
Facility_name Name of the facility, used in the substring matching with links by NM, FXNM or TXNM fields
Year Scenario year
Time_of_Day Time of day period:
EA = Early morning (3am - 5:59am)
AM = AM peak (6am to 8:59am)
MD = Mid-day (9am to 3:29pm)
PM = PM peak (3:30pm to 6:59pm)
EV = Evening (7pm to 2:59am)
ALL = All time of day periods
DA_Factor Positive toll factor for Drive Alone (SOV) vehicle classes. The default value is 1.0
S2_Factor Positive toll factor for Shared 2 person (HOV2) vehicle classes. The default value is 1.0
S3_Factor Positive toll factor for Shared 3+ person (HOV3) vehicle classes. The default value is 1.0
TRK_L_Factor Positive toll factor for Light Truck (TRKL) vehicle classes. The default value is 1.0
TRK_M_Factor Positive toll factor for Medium Truck (TRKM) vehicle classes. The default value is 1.03
TRK_H_Factor Positive toll factor for Heavy Truck (TRKH) vehicle classes. The default value is 2.03

Highway Network Off-Peak Toll Factors File

off_peak_toll_factors.csv

Optional file. Used to specify different tolls in the off-peak time-of-day scenarios based on the single link ITOLLO field, together with the tolls by vehicle class from vehicle_class_toll_factors.csv. Used by the Import network Modeller tool.

Example:

Facility_name, OP_EA_factor, OP_MD_factor, OP_EV_factor
I-15,                  0.75,          1.0,         0.75
SR-125,                1.0 ,          1.0,         1.0
SR-52,                 0.8 ,          1.0,         0.8

See note re: network link matching under vehicle_class_toll_factors.csv. Note that all facilities need not be specified, links not matched will use a factor of 1.0.

Column Name Description
Facility_name Name of the facility, used in the substring matching with links by NM, FXNM or TXNM fields
OP_EA_FACTOR Positive toll factor for Early AM period tolls
OP_MD_FACTOR Positive toll factor for Midday period tolls
OP_EV_FACTOR Positive toll factor for Evening period tolls

Example:

I-15,                     S3,        1,        0,        1,        0,        1
I-15,                  TRK_L,        1,        1,        1,        1,        1
I-15,                  TRK_M,        1,        0,        0,        0,        1
I-15,                  TRK_H,        1,        0,        0,        0,        1

See note re: network link matching under vehicle_class_toll_factors.csv. Note that all facilities need not be specified, links not matched will use the availability as indicated by the link fields in hwycov.e00.

Column Name Description
Facility_name Name of the facility, used in the substring matching with links by NM, FXNM or TXNM fields
Vehicle_class Name of the vehicle class, one of DA, S2, S3, TRK_L, TRK_M, or TRK_H
