Project Summary
This study is addressing local travel forecasting models through a fundamental and comprehensive examination of the state of the practice, focused on data, methodologies, software, and operational practice elements. The study will identify modeling practice relating to local and region-wide impacts and benefits of land use location, density, design, and configuration. Sensitivity analysis will assess how the elements of modeling practice affect model quality and applicability for testing land use and multimodal strategies. The introduction of state of the art modeling techniques for local travel demand models will be considered to identify potential improvement measures.
