Intercity Travel Demand Analysis Model

Applying FEATHERS for Travel Demand Analysis: Model Considerations

Activity-based models of travel demand have received considerable attention in transportation planning and forecasting over the last few decades. FEATHERS (The Forecasting Evolutionary Activity-Travel of Households and their Environmental Repercussions), developed by the Transportation Research Institute of Hasselt University, Belgium, is a micro-simulation framework developed to facilitate the...

Activity Based Travel Demand Model Systems

Stated simply, the motivation for activity based travel demand modeling is that travel decisions are activity based. Concerns about congestion, emissions and land use patterns have lead governments to consider policies aimed to aaect travel decisions. Examples of policies include employer based commute programs, single occupant vehicle regulation, road pricing, multimodal facilities and transit...

A Direct Demand Model of Departure Time and Mode for Intercity Passenger Trips

Travel demand is well announced as a crucial component of transportation planning. This paper aims to develop a direct demand model, denoting a more acceptable abstraction of reality, for intercity passengers in daily work and leisure trips in Tehran province. The model utilizes combined estimation across the data source, collected in 2011, of travelers originating from ...
