Compensation and Amendment of Highway Travel Demand Forecasting

Demand Elasticities for Highway Travel

An elasticity summarizes a large amount of information in a single number. Levels and distribution of incomes, price levels of the specific good and of substitute and complementary goods, preferences and tastes, transaction costs, etc., can, ceteris paribus, affect the measured value of any particular demand-price elasticity. The elasticity concept normalizes for the measurement scales (e.g., p...

Passenger Travel Demand Forecasting

This paper addresses the importance of travel forecasting, the general direction of emerging forecasting methods, the importance of integrating land use and transportation forecasting, and this committee’s relationship to other committees at the Transportation Research Board (TRB). In particular, the movement from trip-based to activity-pattern or activity-scheduling methods of modeling is emph...

DYNAMIC TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: Dynamic Congestion Pricing and Highway Space Inventory Control System by

The number of trips on highways and urban networks has significantly increased in the recent decades in many cities across the world. At the same time, the road network capacities have not kept up with this increase in travel demand. Urban road networks in many countries are severely congested, resulting in increased travel times, increased number of stops, unexpected delays, greater travel cos...
