Greetings!
Transportation decision makers use travel demand and forecasting models to provide information about the impacts of transportation and land-use investments and policies, as well as demographic and economic trends. Improved models can help agencies make more informed decisions about adding highway and transit capacity, improving traffic operations, introducing priced roads, and improving traveler information. Partnership to Develop an Integrated, Advanced Travel Demand Model and a Fine-Grained Time-Sensitive Network (SHRP 2 Project C10A) created a model that integrated an advanced travel-demand model with a fine-grained, time-dependent network in order to evaluate the interplay of traveler behavior and transportation network conditions, including mode options, so that more realistic estimates of travel demand can be generated. The model's performance was then demonstrated through validation tests and policy analyses. The final report documents the implementation, calibration/validation, and sensitivity testing of the model.
* To make research available as early as possible, SHRP 2 is temporarily posting final reports that have been submitted by the research team, reviewed according to the relevant National Academy of Sciences procedures, and accepted for publication. These prepublication drafts, which have not been edited or formatted for publication, will be replaced by the final versions as they complete the editorial process.
