GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ESTRAUS is a computer model that simulates the operation of urban transportation systems (developed by the Chilean government through SECTRA ). 

ESTRAUS determines a simultaneous combined network equilibrium using the most recent modeling and computational advances to overcome the well known limitations of the classical 4-step transportation planning paradigm.

ESTRAUS is especially designed for the analysis and evaluation of strategic transportation plans. 

The type of plans that can be analyzed and evaluated with ESTRAUS include transportation projects and/or policies such as: subway lines, highways, roadway concessions, capacity change in urban roads, segregated transit corridors, road pricing, public transport fare integration, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ESTRAUS TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS 

• Combined Equilibrium for Trip Distribution - Modal Split - and Trip Assignment

• Multiple User Classes (income level, car availability, trip purpose)

• Multi-modal Network, Multi-user, Pure and Combined Modes 

• Congestion in all Networks and Explicit Capacity Constraints in Public Transportation

• Flexible and Hierarchical Structure for Demand Models (e.g. include departure-time choice)

• Trip Distribution Model: Doubly Constrained Entropy Maximization

• Modal Split Model: Hierarchical LOGIT

• Deterministic Equilibrium Assignment in Public and Private Transportation Networks.

• Interactive Network Edition and Result Analysis through GIS  based interface
