Parking enforcement and travel demand management

Incentives for Local Governments to Implement Travel Demand Management Measures

-Regulatory agencies in the energy field have suoeessfully used incentives to encourage lectric and gas utilities to implement conservation measures. We develop a method for allocating federal and state funds to reward local governments that adopt effective travel demand management measures and reduce the need for expenditures on expanded roadway capacity. This method is applied to Sacramento u...

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...

Parking search equilibrium and its implications for parking management

Parking is an underappreciated issue in urban traffic modeling and control, and drivers searching for a parking space can contribute substantially to congestion. New technologies and algorithms aim to smooth the parking search process, using sensors for dynamic pricing, transmitting availability information to drivers, or to allow advance reservation of spaces. However, the parking search proce...
