Roads Input Data
Dr David Connolly
Transport Model for Scotland (TMfS)
•Multi-modal transport model
covering most of mainland
Scotland
•2005 Base Year and future-year
forecasts
•Calibrated, validated & audited
•Currently excludes Argyll,
Highland, Moray & the Islands

Traffic Data for Noise Mapping
•TMfS provides week-day AM Peak, Inter-Peak & PM Peak traffic
estimates for most of the relevant roads in the required areas
–
–
–
–
Consistent estimates of traffic flow for every link in its network
Average speeds and %HGVs (by time period) for each link
Data easily transferred on to GIS packages
Ability to forecast future traffic conditions and the impacts of any trafficrelated interventions
– Minor roads and low-flow residential streets not included in TMfS (so
flows on these estimated separately)
•Annualisation factors are used to convert AM Peak, InterPeak & PM Peak traffic estimates to 18-hr flows.

Geo-rectification of TMfS
•We developed a
method to match the
model network “stick”
links to OS Master Map
ITN features.
•This ensured that the
traffic information is
positioned consistently
with other noise
mapping data

Geo-rectification of TMfS
•The geo-rectification method combines manual
adjustments and automated processes to ensure a
good quality correspondence. The key processes
are:
–
–
–
–
–
Node Matching
Link Matching
Dual Carriageway processing
Roundabout processing
Complex junction processing
Agglomerations and Major Routes
 the Edinburgh agglomeration;
 the Glasgow agglomeration;
 the entire Scottish motorway network (M8, M9, M74, M77, M80, M90
and M876);
 the A1 from the Edinburgh agglomeration boundary to Haddington;
 the A9 (Stirling to Perth);
 the A77 from the M77 to Ayr;
 the A78 from the A77 to Greenock;
 the A82 from the M8 to Dumbarton;
 the A90 from Perth to Aberdeen (via Dundee);
 the A92 (Halbeath to Glenrothes); and
 the A96 (Aberdeen to Inverurie).
NB The high-flow section of the A737 between Johnstone and Glasgow will be covered by the Glasgow agglomeration mapping

Other Road Attributes
•In addition to integrating the traffic model data, the END network has to
manage other attributes, eg:
– pavement type
– road gradient
– location of bridges and culverts
•These attributes lie along a partial edge or may cross several edges
without changing characteristic.
•In these cases we will employ “dynamic segmentation”, which is a GIS
technique to reference attributes to lengths of road.
•This method is already used within the SERIS database.
