TRAFFIC MODELLING REPORT 1

1. INTRODUCTION

Ramboll has been commissioned by Balfour Beatty on behalf of St. Helens Council (SHMBC) to

develop a SATURN (Simulation and Assignment of Traffic to Urban Road Networks) Transport

Model in support of the Outline Business Case (OBC) for the development of the Parkside Link

Road in St. Helens, Merseyside.

This transport model is used to understand current traffic conditions in the area, to provide

evidence for the planning of changes to the transport network and to produce traffic forecasts

that are used in the detailed economic, social and environmental appraisal of proposed

interventions in the transport system.

The primary purpose of the model is to test the impact of the link road on the highway network

including the M6 and M62 motorways and all local strategic roads.

This report presents the methodology used to build the base SATURN model which will help

assess the changes to the highway network as a result of the proposed Parkside Link Road.

1.1 Scheme Summary

Figure 1.1: Parkside Regeneration Scheme + Proposed Parkside Link Road

Figure 1.1 presents the current plans for the Parkside Regeneration site which will be split in to 3

phases of which Phase 1 is planned to be operational by 2020 with Phase 2 and Phase 3

becoming operational over the next 10 years. A more detailed breakdown of accommodation for

the site is explained in Chapter 8.

Following the decommissioning of Parkside Colliery, there has been significant interest from both

the private and public sector in bringing the site forward for logistics and distribution use and as

a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange (SRFI). The Parkside Link Road will provide direct access to

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


the Parkside Regeneration site from a new signalised junction on the A49 in the west, to the

motorway network at Junction 22 on the M6 in the east. The road scheme will include new

junctions with the A573 Parkside Road and the A579 Winwick Lane. In addition, it will provide

access to the land to the east of the M6 J22 enabling future development of the proposed SRFI

development. Completion of a SRFI at Parkside will bring new economic activity to the borough,

with thousands of jobs created on site and across the Liverpool City Region. The site benefits

from a strategic location adjacent to the M6 and M62 and is the only potential SRFI site in the

region that has the potential to receive trains from all directions and will serve intermodal flows

on the West Coast Mainline and Chat Moss line.

The new Link Road will form a strategic link to the network utilising the existing A573 Parkside

Road overbridge crossing over the M6, enabling access to sites on both the west (Phase 1 & 2)

and east (Phase 3) of the M6 and improving connectivity through the region. The outcome of

this study was an indicative benefit cost ratio (BCR) for use at Strategic Outline Business Case

(SOBC).

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


2. MODEL OVERVIEW

The key requirement of the transport model is that it represents accurately the base year traffic

patterns on the road network and therefore forms a robust basis on which to forecast future year

network conditions, both with and without changes to the transport network in the area.

The transport models base and future year traffic flows and conditions play an important role in

scheme assessment, environmental appraisal, highway and junction design and economic

assessments.

2.1 Model Availability and Scope

The existing Liverpool City Regional Traffic Model (LCRTM), which covers the area of interest for

the Parkside Link Road, has been identified to help appraise the scheme for the OBC. The model

has a base year of 2012 and includes up-to-date transport forecasts for the Liverpool City

Region. The model was deemed suitable for the SOC (Stage 1 in the appraisal process as defined

in TAG), however, the LCRTM is a link based strategic transport model and, as such, can only

provide an indication of the impact of the scheme. It does not contain junction coding so, for

example, the impact on Junction 22 on the M6 cannot be fully considered.

Therefore, a new SATURN based model has been considered appropriate to support the Outline

Business Case (OBC) for the new Parkside Link Road.

The proposed extent of the model is identified in Chapter 4 and has taken into consideration the

requirements for air quality and noise and considered local operational requirements.

2.2 Model Structure

This report sets out the development of the SATURN model built to assess the traffic flows on the

network and the potential impact of the new Parkside Link Road. The nodes and zoning structure

of the model are outlined in Chapter 4 and are considered to be appropriate to the level of detail

within the transport network and takes into account future, as well as existing, land uses.

This model uses SATURN version 11.2.05, which is a ‘congested assignment’ software suite

widely used for the evaluation of all kinds of highway systems and proposals, and is recognised

as an “industry standard” traffic assignment model that satisfies the requirements for modelling

highway networks as set out in WebTAG.

The suite provides a combined traffic simulation and assignment model for the analysis of road

proposals ranging from traffic management schemes over relatively localised networks to major

infrastructure improvements. One of the key features of SATURN is its ability to simulate the

operation of junctions in some detail, including the prediction of queues and delays, the effect of

queues blocking back on adjacent junctions, and the influence of congestion at specific points in

the network on route choice.

The basic inputs to the SATURN model are the transport demands, in the form of a matrix of trip

movements between zones, and the ‘supply’ in the form of a detailed description of the road

network.

Following the network building procedure, the trip matrix is assigned to the network using an

iterative series of loops between ‘assignment’ and ‘simulation’ until the model has converged.

The ‘assignment’ process calculates the minimum cost routes for trips in terms of a weighted

combination of time and distance. The ‘simulation’ stage then simulates the operation of each

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


junction in the network. It should be noted that as route costs can depend upon the routes taken

by other vehicles, the junction simulations can lead to a different set of minimum cost routes.

Thus, the process is repeated, until successive assignment-simulation loops produce an

acceptably low level of change in vehicle flows, when the model is deemed to have achieved

convergence.

Following the convergence of the model, the model is calibrated. The modelled number of

vehicles on the network is compared with the observed counts. The description of the road

network (supply) is checked carefully and a matrix estimation procedure is used to adjust the trip

patterns in the trip matrices (demand) if required.

The final stage is to validate the model, in which comparisons are made between modelled flows

and a separate and independent set of traffic count data that was not used in the calibration

process. Modelled journey times are also compared with observed times.

2.3 Base Year

The Parkside Link Road Traffic Model (PLRTM) has been calibrated to a base year of 2015.

2.4 Model Data Sources

The principal sources of data used in the model building process consisted of manual classified

junction turning counts carried out between November 2015 and March 2017 and are detailed in

Chapter 3 of this report.

2.5 Model Time Periods

In accordance with the current standard practice identified in WebTAG Unit 3.1 ‘Modelling’, the

model will assess the AM and PM peak periods and an average inter-peak hour. The peak periods

will be modelled as a single peak hour and are as follows:

AM peak hour – 08:00 to 09:00

PM peak hour – 17:00 to 18:00

Inter-peak hour – 1 hour average between 09:00 to 17:00

2.6 Modelled User Classes

The model is calibrated at a 2 user class level:

Class 1 – Light Vehicles - Cars and Light Goods vehicles

Class 2 - Heavy Vehicles - OGV1 and OGV2

The rationale for splitting the demand in this fashion is that the user classes have quite different

values of time and/or vehicle operating costs. The values affect their choice of routes in the

highway model, their response to changes in costs in the demand model, and also the economic

evaluation of time savings in the cost benefits analysis.

All demand matrices for the traffic assignment are to be in origin-destination (O-D) format. An

O-D matrix stores trips according to the actual origin and destination zone of a trip and this

information is needed so that the trips can be assigned onto the road network.

Demand in the SATURN traffic assignment is expressed in terms of Passenger Car Units (PCU).

The factors used to convert from vehicles to PCUs are presented in the table below.

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


Table 2.1: Modelled User Classes in Traffic Assignment

User Class Vehicle Type PCU Factor

1 Cars – Employers’ Business 1.0

2 Cars – Commuting 1.0

3 Cars – Other 1.0

4 Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs) 1.0

5 Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) 2.4

2.7 Trip Matrices

Trip matrices have been estimated from the turning count data. These turning counts form a

comprehensive coverage of vehicle movements through the modelled area and it is anticipated

that careful combination of this data will ensure a robust prior matrix for the study. The final trip

matrix will be estimated using ME2 but it is considered that the amount of estimation in the final

matrix will be small compared to the overall matrix size, providing a robust prior matrix has been

completed.

2.8 Model Network

The majority of the SATURN model network will be included in the Fully Modelled Area and

modelled as simulation networks comprising link and junction attributes. This will enable delays

at junctions to be fully assessed. This is important as the area is very congested and currently a

number of alternative routes are being used to attempt to avoid the major delays at key

junctions. The model will be set up to reflect these route choices.

2.9 Calibration, Validation, Realism and Sensitivity Testing

The SATURN highway assignment model will be calibrated and validated following DMRB’s and

latest WebTAG guidance. This will include link count calibration using WebTAG criteria and

calculation of GEH values. Network journey times will be calibrated against link journey times

and delays for the LCRTM model and strategic links for the DfT TRADS database. Vehicle routing

through the modelled network will be subject to sensitivity testing to ensure that realistic

journeys are taking place in the model.

2.10 Demand Model Structure

Traffic forecasts for the OBC will be produced for the Opening Year (assumed 2020) and a post-

opening future year (2030, 10 years from completion), for the ‘Do Minimum’ and ‘Do Something’

scenarios for the three peak time periods (AM, PM and Inter-peak). This will allow alignment

with the forecast scenarios considered for the LCRTM and ensure compatibility with these

assumptions.

The SATURN model for the Parkside Link Road has been developed as a fixed demand model for

the forecast years. The rationale for this is that the route is of local significance but provides

improved access to the strategic highway network and will be designed for access to local

employment sites; however, due to the fact that it forms a new link in the local network, it will

also attract some localised rerouting of traffic within the network. It will not, however, enable

strategic rerouting of traffic nor significantly improve journey times for longer distance traffic

movements and, as such, is unlikely to attract additional trips through variable demand

parameters. These parameters will, however, be considered in more detail for the later stages of

scheme development.

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


3. SUMMARY OF DATA COLLECTION

3.1 Traffic Counts

The SATURN traffic model has been built and validated using existing turning count surveys

undertaken in November 2015 (Traffic Counts 1 & 2) and March 2017 (Traffic Count 3) as part of

the assessment of the Langtree development, Parkside Regeneration. The classified data

includes full turning counts and queue lengths at all recorded sites.

The use of this data will provide a consistent approach with the neighbouring Parkside

Development and includes reliable development flow forecasts. The data is considered to be well

within the permitted age limit and is split in to manual classified turning count data and queue

length data.

Traffic Counts 1 and 2 were undertaken on Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th November 2015

between the times of 06:00 to 20:00 and recorded fully classified turning counts and queue

lengths during these hours for all possible traffic movements in 15 minute intervals.

Traffic Count 3 was undertaken on Tuesday 7th March 2017 between the times of 07:30–10:00 &

15:30–18:00 and recorded fully classified turning counts and queue lengths during these hours

for all possible traffic movements in 15 minute intervals.

Data was collected via high mast video units positioned at the junctions and analysed manually

at a later date.

Enumerators recorded the maximum length of queues at each junction, on the same day and

time as the turning counts, every five minutes. Queue lengths were measured by number of

vehicles in queue, where:

Motorbikes

Cars

Small and large vans

Mini buses

Small lorries

were counted as 1 vehicle, and;

HGVs

Full size buses/coaches

were counted as 2 vehicles.

For the purpose of the SATURN model the classified counts were summarised in to 2 user class

categories for the 3 model time periods; AM peak, Inter-peak and PM Peak. Vehicle categories

were summarised as;

1) Light Vehicles (Lights) – includes Cars, Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs), Motor Cycles (MCL)

2) Other Goods Vehicles (OGVs) – includes all Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs)

No journey time or Road Side Interview (RSI) data is currently available.

Average queues lengths for the 3 modelled peak hours (AM peak, Inter-peak and PM Peak) for

each arm approach of the junctions were used to develop the PLRTM. Average queues were

measured per arm and not per lane, so for multiple lane approaches, the average queue would

be an average across all lanes of the approach.

Appendix 1 presents a summary of the traffic count surveys in the form of origin-destination

matrices for all counts that were used to develop the PLRTM for the 3 modelled time periods (AM

peak, Inter-peak and PM Peak) and vehicle categories (Lights and OGVs).

All summarised traffic count data used to develop and build the PLRTM can be found in Appendix

1.

3.2 ATC Data

In absence of count data on the strategic motorway links (M6 & M62), Journey Time and Traffic

Flow Data (MIDAS Data) was obtained from Highways England. This data is long term Automatic

Traffic Count (ATCs) data recorded across motorways in England.

MIDAS data was collected for the base year 2015 in both directions either side of the M6 J22 and

M62 J9.

In order to validate the model, screenline traffic counts were gathered for 8 locations within the

highway network. These counts consisted of the MIDAS data explained above and screenline

counts recorded as part of the turning count surveys.

Figure 4.2 in Chapter 4 below shows the location of all screenline counts used to validate the

model.

3.3 Journey Time Data

For each of the time periods we received comparative data from LCRTM on strategic links in the

local network.

Traffic signal data was collected from St. Helens Metropolitan Borough Council, Warrington

Borough Council and Wigan Borough Council for all signal sites 1 to 10 in Table 3.2. These sites

correspond to traffic count sites within the model network described in Table 3.1.

Signal data was required in two formats for all signal sites, this data included:

1) Junction drawing showing staging and phasing diagrams for each signal cycle; and

2) Signal timing data for all 3 peak hour periods – which includes phase green, inter-green and

cycle times.

For signal sites 1-5 (St. Helens & Warrington), both sets of data were available and the supplied

information was interrogated and all phase green times, inter-green times and cycle times were

extracted to feed in to the junction coding for signalised junctions discussed in the section 4.2.

For sites 6-10 only junction drawings showing staging and phasing diagrams were available.

Signal timing data was collected manually on Tuesday 25th April for all 3 peak hour periods in the

absence of missing data.

3.5 LCRTM Data

LCRTM base year 2012 data and forecast years 2020 and 2030 data were used to derive robust

traffic forecasting growth factors. Their use and derivation are explained in Chapter 7.

4. BASE MODEL BUILD

This chapter summarises the development of the SATURN network build process.

4.1 Modelled Areas

Road traffic assignment models require a computerised representation of the highway network

within a study area and the roads and junctions within this area are represented by a number of

selected links and nodes where; the ‘Nodes’ represent the points where roads intersect

(junctions) or there is a significant change in the road and the ‘Links’ represent the sections of

highways between nodes (or junctions).

This SATURN network comprises mainly of a ‘simulation’ network, in which the operation of

junctions are simulated, and a less detailed ‘buffer’ network, which essentially functions as a

more conventional link-based model. This PLRTM has been modelled as a ‘simulation’ network

across the entire study area with the buffer network accounting for the motorway links and

peripheral areas where traffic enters the simulation network.

For the purpose of preparing traffic forecasts for the model, the area of detailed modelling

comprises the core simulation area or fully modelled area. It covers an area bound by the M62

to the south, Winwick Link Road and Newton Road to the East, East Lancs Road to the north and

the A49 to the west. The M6 bisects the modelled area from north west to south east, forming a

major junction within the modelled area with its junction with Winwick Link Road and Winwick

Road. Within this core area there are a number of key links and the extents of the model can be

found along the following routes and boundaries;

A49 – a key local north / south route through Newton-le-Willows to the west of the study

area linking East Lancs Road and the M6 in the north west of the study area with the M62 in

the south;

Winwick Link Road > Newton Road – a key local eastern route linking the M62 in the

south to the M6 (J22) and East Lancs Road to the north east of the study area;

Southworth Road > Newton Road – a key local west / east route connecting Newton-le-

Willows in the west with East Lancs Road in the east;

Parkside Road > Warrington Road – local north / south A-road route through the middle

of the study area linking East Lancs Road in the north to M62 in the south via a major

roundabout junction with Winwick Link Road;

A580 East Lancs Road – a primary strategic A-road on the northern boundary of the study

area linking Manchester to the East with Liverpool

M62 – a major strategic motorway link forming the southern boundary of the study area;

M6 – a major strategic motorway link dissecting the study area from north west to south

east.

The modelled highway network for this transport model will represent the main strategic and

local road network links within the assigned study area and includes the aforementioned

motorways, major ‘A’ roads, other ‘A’ roads, ‘B’ roads and minor roads. This assigned highway

network will form the base network for this SATURN model and is presented in Figure 4.1.

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


Figure 4.1: SATURN Network Plan

4.1.1 Building Network

The base SATURN network has been developed using site observation, OS Mapping, GIS analysis

and traffic signal information obtained from the local highway authorities and observations.

Within the study area, all significant junctions are fully simulated, and all links are coded to give

a representation of their length, speed, capacity and traffic flow classifications. This level of

detail reflects the significance of the key links and junctions in route choice decisions through the

study network.

Each junction was simulated and coded separately, to ensure that the number of lanes and

turning movements was correctly recorded for each junction approach and that the capacity and

saturation level of each junction were added according to lane widths etc.

Information of the junctions were obtained by using information from the local authorities,

Google maps, GIS, turning count survey info and visiting the sites.

The network is constructed from:

Nodes – Each junction is represented by a node in the simulation network and all relevant

highway nodes were recorded manually on the OS base map of the area within a GIS

environment, which was used to generate individual co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) for

each node. All nodes are identified by corresponding node numbers.

Links – Roads between intersections (nodes) are represented by links. All relevant links

were drawn between nodes, to reflect the real life network. Separate links were drawn to

reflect changes of speed limit of carriageway type, which were assigned to links based on site

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


observation. GIS was used to calculate the link length. This was based on node-to-node

distance along the real life network, rather than along the simplified model links. The most

recent 5 years of accident data was spatially joined to the model from road safety data

published by the Department for Transport, to provide link-specific accident data.

Zones – Zones or centroids were located in the study area to represent specific sub-areas,

some of which contain residential and/or commercial development with additional zones

representing entry links on the periphery of the study area or entry links from the proposed

Parkside development. Each zone centroid is joined by one (or more) zone connecters that

link to the network which represents the loading point(s) for that zone. All zones within the

network (except the Parkside development zones) are defined by traffic count surveys

detailed section 3.1. Each count is representative of all traffic entering and exiting each zone

and forms the base traffic information for the base trip matrices for model.

Zone Connectors – Zone connectors are how zones are connected to the network. Zone

Connectors are connected to links and not nodes and represent where traffic exits / enters a

zone in the network.

‘Dummy’ Nodes – are nodes that are not simulated and allow unrestricted traffic flows

without delay (except for banned turns and U-turns). This allows links to be defined with

separate identities, generally used on long links to indicate intermediate points on curved

roads or to represent points where new intersections are to be added in modified networks.

Zone Nodes – are ‘Dummy’ nodes that have been incorporated into the network model as

points at which vehicles can join or leave the modelled network. Corresponding Zone

Connectors join the zone nodes to nodes in the main network.

The PLRTM network is defined by 17 entry zones of which 15 represent existing geographical

areas in the study area (zones 1 to 15) and 2 zones (zones 16 and 17) represent the proposed

Parkside development.

The 15 geographical zones are controlled by the recorded turning count surveys and represent

the total traffic for that zone for a typical day. The development zones (zones 16 and 17)

represent the loading points for Phase 1 and 2 of the Parkside Development (zone 16) and the

Figure 4.2 presents the SATURN model network, modelled zones and how they load on to the

SATURN network via zone connectors. The figure also shows the location of the Screenline

Counts used to validate the model.

4.2 Network Coding

The coding of the model simulation network was based on providing a robust estimate of junction

capacity related to the physical layout of the intersection of a node for the following junction

types;

Traffic Signals

Roundabouts

Priority Junctions

For each junction the following information was required:

Saturation Flows

Lane Allocation

Turn Allocation

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


Gap Acceptance

Speed Flow

4.2.1 Traffic Signals

Coding of traffic signals in SATURN requires definition of the node number and associated data

relating to the number of entry links, junction type, link speeds, link lengths, lane usage,

saturation flows, speed-flow curves and signal timing information.

The signal timing information includes all green, inter-green, staging and phasing details for a

specified signal cycle for each signal junction. Saturation flows were calculated by inputting a

saturation flow applicable to the geometry of the junction which is then adjusted within SATURN

in relation to the inputted signal data.

4.2.2 Roundabouts

The coding of roundabouts in SATURN is based on defining the entry and circulating saturation

flows and gap acceptance. These three parameters are determined by the geometry of the

junction and the coding included node data, entry data, number of lanes and a defined speed-

flow curve.

4.2.3 Priority Junctions

Priority junctions represent the give-way movement of a minor road onto a major road and the

movement from the major road to the minor. The calculation of saturation flows is key to the

junction coding along with the allocation of lanes, flare lanes, sightlines and SATURN priority

markers.

The coding of priority junctions is split into un-opposed and opposed movements in the junction.

The unopposed movements are largely dependent on the road widths of the main road, while

opposed movements relate more closely to the geometry of the junction and visibility lengths.

The definition of movements from major to minor arms of the junction and minor to major and

the geometric calculation of saturation flows for un-opposed and opposed turns are required to

calculate saturation flows which are added to node data to complete the junction coding.

4.2.4 Links

In the network we have a series of links each of which has its own classification based on road

type, defined length (measured by OS mapping and GIS) and a speed-flow relationship attributed

to its speed flow type. All links required saturation flows and capacities which were taken from

standard DfT speed-flow curves.

When defining a link both directions of the link need to be coded, even if it’s one-way. One-way

links were coded by specifying zero lanes to the non-existent direction. Some bi-directional links

such as the motorway (M6, M62) and dual carriageway (East Lancs Road, Winwick Link Road)

links were coded as separate single one-way links as these roads have central reservations and

for the purpose of the model are representative of separate links.

5. TRIP MATRIX DEVELOPMENT

5.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the production of the 2015 base year demand matrices which represent the origins and destinations of the trips in the model.

5.2 Zone System

5.2.1 Fully modelled Area

The Fully Modelled Area for the Parkside Traffic Model is based on a SATURN simulation model.

Essentially this allows all the link and junction attributes of the local highway network to be

included in the model build. Therefore the interaction of traffic flows, speeds and delays

throughout the area can be utilised in the model to give a more realistic indication of how the

network reacts to changes in these parameters.

The geographical area covered by the model is shown on Figure 4.1. The zone system in the

model is based around defined geographical areas of traffic origin and destination. They are

attached to the computerised network by zone connectors that reflect physical road connections

to the highway network.

15 zonal areas have been identified for the model with two additional zones created to represent

the development areas of Parkside Regeneration site on both sides of the M6. The zone system

is shown on Figure 4.2. The zones are of different sizes and of differing origins and destinations

for traffic movements. These are related to observed traffic flow levels at the point where they

are attached to the network.

5.3 Approach to Matrix Development

All the zonal connectors represent links on which traffic counts have been observed. This gives a

control on the trip end flows when considering the study matrix for the model. Thus the total trip

origins and destinations for each zone can be determined. The count data described previously

consists of directly observed turning movements surveyed in 2015, supplemented with long term

ATC data on the M6 and M62, obtained from Highways England.

Trip end totals for each zone were obtained separately for light vehicles and heavy vehicles, such

that study matrices could be developed for each of the vehicle types. Matrices were developed to

represent light vehicles in the AM Peak, inter-peak and PM Peak hours for an average weekday in

2015. Similar heavy vehicle matrices were developed. The subsequent matrices also represent

all trip purposes.

Having defined the trip end values for origins and destinations, the full O-D trips had to be

determined. This was achieved by adopting the Furness procedure to match the rows and

columns in the matrices. This is a standard procedure in SATURN and is considered appropriate

for defining the study matrices due to the close control of the procedure enabled by the observed

count values.

As a sense check on the final Furnessed matrices, the matrices were assigned to the modelled

highway network to check that a reasonable match was obtained between counts and assigned

matrix flows. This demonstrated good correspondence between the values and it was

determined that the Furnessed matrices were fit for purpose.

5.4 Matrix Assignment

In order to carry out the final assignment of the study matrices, the light and heavy vehicle

matrices were added together to provide an ‘All Vehicle’ matrix. For the purposes of assignment

in SATURN, the heavy vehicle matrices were factored by 2.4 to represent equivalent pcu values.

This conversion factor is the same as that adopted for the LCRTM.

The assignment of the matrices to the computer network was carried out using standard SATURN

equilibrium assignment techniques.

Tables 5.1 to 5.3 present the 2015 Base Trip Matrices for the 3 modelled time periods for light

vehicles, heavy vehicles and all vehicles (lights + heavies).

6. MODEL VALIDATION

6.1 Base Model Validation

A screenline of counts was defined across the main north-south routes in the central part of the

model to test the calibration of the modelled flows. These included counts in both directions on

the A49 south of Newton-le-Willows station, M6 between junctions 22 and 23, Parkside Road

north of M6 and A579 Winwick Lane. The screenlines counts (sites 1-8) can be seen in Figure 4.2

in Chapter 4.

Modelled link count validation was tested against standard WebTAG criteria using DMRB and GEH

statistical comparison. The results of this analysis are shown for the three time periods in the

tables below.

The above analysis shows that the AM Peak model calibrates against both the DMRB and GEH

criteria. The counts validate well in the southbound direction but with one count outside the

between the modelled flows and the observed traffic flows.

6.7 Inter-peak Peak Summary

The count validation for the Inter-peak period shows that 6 out of the 8 counts validate against

either the DMRB or GEH criteria. Whilst this is a good fit of the data, it is slightly outside the

recommended criteria. In this time period the northbound modelled count on A49 is lower than

the observed count and the southbound flow on Parkside Road is lower than the count at this

location. Nevertheless the model shows a good representation of the observed count

information.

6.10 PM Peak Summary

The PM Peak modelled counts also show that 6 out of 8 counts meet the validation criteria for the

DMRB assessment or the GEH statistic. Again the northbound A49 modelled flow is lower than

the observed count but the southbound M6 modelled count is lower than the observed count.

The model is showing count validation slightly outside the recommended statistical test criteria

but is nonetheless a good fit between the observed and modelled data.

The base models are therefore a good platform for use in testing forecast scenarios and ‘Do

Something’ schemes for the Parkside Link Road.

7. TRAFFIC FORECASTING

7.1 Introduction

To test the new link road, the scheme will be assessed at its year of opening and a future design

year 10 years after opening, which is the minimum design horizon for strategic road schemes of

this nature.

The opening year of the scheme will be 2020 whereby only Phase 1 of the development will be

operational and the design year of the scheme will be 2030 whereby Phase 2 and Phase 3 (Rail

Freight Interchange) of the Parkside Development will be complete and operational.

Table 7.1: Assessments Years

Base Year 2015

Opening Year 2020

Design Year 2030

7.2 Traffic Forecast Rates

In order to calculate opening and design year flows, base year (2015) traffic flows have been

extracted from the base year traffic matrices generated in section 5 and have been factored to

opening year 2020 and design year 2030 levels using TEMPro growth forecasts for the North

West (Region) and districts St. Helens and Warrington using TEMPRO version 7.2

Growth forecasts in TEMPro are based on growth associated with light vehicles only; therefore

growth factors for heavy vehicles (HGVs) have been derived using TEMPro and adjusted to heavy

growth rates using the modelled output from the LCRTM.

Traffic forecasting growth rates were compatible with the LCRTM. Matrix data was obtained from

Liverpool City Region for the LCRTM Base Year of 2012 and forecast years of 2020 and 2030.

These rates were derived for the same 3 time periods as those used in the PLRTM and

corresponded to:

AM Peak – 0800-0900;

Average Inter-peak – 1000-1600; and

PM Peak – 1700-1800.

The LCRTM matrices were further disaggregated by trip purpose representing:

Cars – Employers’ Business

Cars – Commuting

Cars – Other

Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs)

Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs)

These LCRTM purpose matrices were combined into Heavy Vehicle matrices (representing OGV’s)

and Light Vehicle matrices representing all other purposes. Thus, the forecast matrices used in

this PLRTM represented Heavy Vehicles (all purposes) and Light Vehicles (all purposes).

The Base Model for this PLRTM was based in 2015 and TEMPro 7.2 growth rates were used to

derive forecast growth rates from 2015 to 2020 for the Light Vehicle matrices.

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


Heavy vehicle growth rates from 2015 to 2020 were derived by calculating a correspondence

between the 2012 to 2020 Light and Heavy vehicle matrices from the LCRTM and applying this to

the TEMPro 7.2 Light Vehicle growth rates.

Table 7.2 shows the growth rates derived for the model for light vehicles from 2015 to 2020 and

from 2020 to 2030.

Table 7.2: Light Vehicle Growth Rates

Light Vehicle

Growth Rates

AM Peak Inter-peak PM Peak

2015-2020 1.059 1.083 1.041

2020-2030 1.083 1.103 1.110

Table 7.3 shows the growth rates derived for the model for heavy vehicles from 2015 to 2020

and from 2020 to 2030.

Table 7.3: Heavy Vehicle Growth Rates

Heavy Vehicle

Growth Rates

AM Peak Inter-peak PM Peak

2015-2020 1.066 1.067 1.065

2020-2030 1.072 1.072 1.073

The derived traffic growth rates are consistent with both the LCRTM and TEMPro 7 and as such

the traffic growth for the period from 2020 to 2030 is taken directly from the LCRTM for both the

Light and Heavy vehicle matrices used in the model. Therefore the forecast traffic growth is

constrained to TEMPro 7 growth within the model and is consistent with the WebTAG guidance.

8. TRIP GENERATION

This chapter provides an estimate of the number of trips the proposed Parkside Development is

expected to generate or attract considering ‘full occupation/operation’ of Phase 1, Phase 2 and

Phase 3.

8.1 Proposed Trip Generation

The development scenarios considered in the PLRTM include 2 phases of development of the

Parkside Colliery site to the west of the M6 motorway and a third phase representing the

development of the Rail Freight Interchange centre to the east of M6.

The sizes of the respective phases are shown below and for the purposes of development of the

PLRTM, the development type is considered to be commercial warehousing (B8).

Table 8.1 presents the schedule of accommodation for proposed Parkside Development for Phase

1, Phase 2 and the proposed RFI (Phase 3).

8.2 Development Trip Rates

Trip rates associated with this development type have been derived from the TRICS database.

Sites of a similar size and nature in the database have been used to calculate an equivalent set of

average trip rates for a selection of representative sites within TRICS for the Parkside

developments.

The derived trip rates for ‘All Vehicles’ and OGVs across the 3 time periods and the daily total trip

rates are shown in the Table 8.2.

In this PLRTM, zone 16 represents both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Parkside development and

zone 17 represents Phase 3 (RFI site).

For the development scenarios considered it has been assumed that Phase 1 is operational in

2020 and these trips have been allocated to the 2020 trip matrices.

In 2030, both Phase 2 and the RFI site are assumed to be operational and these trips have been

included in the 2030 matrices.

The distribution of trips for all the development phases has been assumed to align with the

existing trip end proportions for the base model and have been assigned accordingly.

No trips are assumed to travel between the development phases for the forecast models.

8.4 Final Forecast Trip Matrices

The forecast matrices have been constrained to TEMPRO growth rates as explained previously,

therefore when including the development traffic in the matrices, the growth rates for the non-

development related trips has been reduced. This ensures that the overall growth included in the

2020 and 2030 matrices remains as the total TEMPro growth.

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


In the final growthed matrices a lower growth rate has been applied to non-development zones

(zones 1-15) and derived trips from TRICS have been added to zones 16 and 17.

The resultant final forecast trip matrices for the 3 modelled time periods used in the PLRTM are

shown below in Tables 8.5 to 8.10.

9. PARKSIDE LINK ROAD SCHEME ASSIGNMENT (DO

SOMETHING)

The ‘Do Something’ network has been developed by editing the ‘Do Minimum’ network to

incorporate the Parkside Link Road and new junctions as part of the scheme.

The 2020 and 2030 matrices were assigned to the ‘Do Something’ network to produce the ‘Do

Something’ assignments which are presented in Tables 9.1 and 9.2.

PARKSIDE LINK ROAD


Table 9.2: 2030 ‘Do Something’ Modelled Flows

It can be seen that the scheme provides an attractive additional route through the local highway

network. As such it attracts high levels of additional traffic that accesses the development sites

and reroutes from congested links.

Generally, the link between Parkside Road and Winwick Lane carries around double the traffic

volumes as the link between A49 and Parkside Road. This is as a result of traffic reassigning

between the main north-south routes to filter across to junction 22 of M6 in order to access the

strategic highway network.

Between A49 and Parkside Road, some of this rerouting is taking place along Southworth Road,

so this section of the Parkside Link Road attracts less overall traffic.

10. CONCLUSION

The Parkside Link Road model is well validated and suitable for assessing the impact of the

development proposals and the new scheme. It gives a good comparison between observed

traffic counts and modelled data and is suitable for this stage of scheme appraisal.

Moving forward to further detailed scheme development, the model will require additional

information from LCRTM and the Highways England Northwest Regional model to enable a more

robust model to be prepared for future appraisal.

The output from the SATURN modelling process has been included as input to the traffic

economic appraisal of the Parkside Link Road scheme.

Total Rates: 1.199 1.174 2.373

This section displays the trip rate results based on the selected set of surveys and the selected count type (shown just

above the table). It is split by three main columns, representing arrivals trips, departures trips, and total trips (arrivals plus

departures). Within each of these main columns are three sub-columns. These display the number of survey days where

count data is included (per time period), the average value of the selected trip rate calculation parameter (per time

period), and the trip rate result (per time period). Total trip rates (the sum of the column) are also displayed at the foot of

the table.


Page 5


To obtain a trip rate, the average (mean) trip rate parameter value (TRP) is first calculated for all selected survey days

that have count data available for the stated time period. The average (mean) number of arrivals, departures or totals

(whichever applies) is also calculated (COUNT) for all selected survey days that have count data available for the stated

time period. Then, the average count is divided by the average trip rate parameter value, and multiplied by the stated

calculation factor (shown just above the table and abbreviated here as FACT). So, the method is: COUNT/TRP*FACT. Trip

rates are then rounded to 3 decimal places.

This section displays a quick summary of some of the data filtering selections made by the TRICS® user. The trip rate

calculation parameter range of all selected surveys is displayed first, followed by the range of minimum and maximum

survey dates selected by the user. Then, the total number of selected weekdays and weekend days in the selected set of

surveys are show. Finally, the number of survey days that have been manually removed from the selected set outside of

the standard filtering procedure are displayed.

This graph is a visual representation of the trip rate calculation results screen. The same time periods and trip rates are

displayed, but in addition there is an additional column showing the percentage of the total trip rate by individual time

period, allowing peak periods to be easily identified through observation. Note that the type of count and the selected

direction is shown at the top of the graph.
