The increasingly complex transportation challenges faced by urban areas around the country call for the use of new tools capable of microsimulating the movements of individual travelers and vehicles in multimodal networks. While there have been a number of microsimulation applications for highway networks, the number of such applications for transit or intermodal networks is relatively small. Given the emphasis that is being placed on multimodal transportation system development, and the desire to institute fixed guideway systems that operate in mixed traffic, there is a need to develop simulation processes capable of reflecting the performance of mixed multimodal transportation networks under a variety of planning and operations scenarios. This paper describes results from the application of TRANSIMS to a light rail corridor in the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Results of the simulation exercise are intuitive and provide insights on how microsimulation model systems can prove to be effective tools in analyzing alternative multimodal transport network strategies.
