Follow-up study on testing INDY for use as the Dynamic Traffic Assignment model in the Dutch National Model

The Transport Research Center (AVV) of Rijkswaterstaat has started work on a new version of the Dutch National Model for Traffic and Transport (LMS = Landelijk Model Systeem verkeer en vervoer). The new version of the model (LMS v. 8.0) will be dynamic: it will account for 11 time periods of varying levels of demands. In the preparatory study for LMS v. 8.0 RAND Europe carried out a study of possible dynamic traffic assignment algorithms for the new LMS. As a consequence of the study by RAND Europe, three organisations were asked to examine their dynamic traffic assignment models for the possibility of implementation in the new version of the LMS. This report contains the results of a series of tests carried out with INDY, with the aim to reduce INDY?s run time and memory usage. These test are performed to test whether INDY could be applied as the dynamic traffic assignment module of the Dutch LMS.
