The user draws a road network on the screen using the drawing tools. This road network consists of development zones, critical intersections, and gateways where new traffic enters and leaves the study area. The land uses, trip generation rates, and trip distribution percentages are then entered for each development zone. Then the paths that traffic will take moving from each development zone to each gateway are drawn on the network.
TRAFFIX™ then generates the hourly traffic (AM or PM peak hours), assigns it to the street system, and calculates the level of service impacts all in one step. The user can request a variety of reports, such as a trip generation report, a trip distribution report, an intersection turning movement report, a link volume report, and more.
