The Miasma Beach Transportation Model
There are six Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) in Miasma Beach, and two external stations. Zones 1 and 2 are in the Central Business District (CBD), zone 3 is an urban residential area neighboring zone 4, zone 4 is a major commercial and industrial area about two miles east of the CBD, and zones 5 and 6 are suburban residential zones located about five miles east of the CBD. Zones 7 and 8 are External Stations representing the eastern and western extremes of Coast Highway, the arterial which traverses the southern border of the City along the beach.
The initial transportation network for the city comprises a grid of secondary-classified major arterials and a single primary arterial (Coast Highway). The six TAZs are attached by single 0.25 mile centroid connectors. Facility operating characteristics are detaiLED in Table 1.
