A Practitioner’s Guide to Urban Travel Forecasting Models
نویسنده
چکیده
The past five years have witnessed many new developments on the urban travel forecasting model scene. Driven in part by ISTEA, our field has awoken from a lethargy induced by its neglect during the 1980s. A new program of model improvements was launched in 1991, only to be emasculated by a large-scale modeling initiative more related to the end of the Cold War than urban transportation planning. Despite some strange developments, this period has turned out to be an exciting one, perhaps as much so the heyday of the 1960s when our field really got its start.

Validation of Multiclass Urban Travel Forecasting Models Combining Origin- Destination, Mode, and Route Choices*
The formulation, estimation, and validation of combined models for making detailed urban travel forecasts are described. These models combine origin-destination, mode, and auto route choices into a consistent forecasting method for multiple user classes for the Chicago Region. Household Travel Survey and Census Transportation Planning Package data for 1990, respectively, are used to estimate an...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Evolution of Travel Demand in Urban Areas: a Neural-geo-temporal Modelling Approach
Considerable amount of research efforts has been dedicated to conceive forecasting models for predicting urban development and travel demand. Mainly originated from the application of economic theory, urban development models were initially conceived to explain the configuration and evolution of urban structures (Chapin, 1957). According to Ross (1988), these models are used to predict how futu...
متن کاملTransferability of Mode Choice Models of Urban Travel
Transferability is an important issue in travel demand analysis and forecasting. Without transferability in time, the use of models for forecasting has no foundation; without transferability between regions, models developed in one region cannot be applied elsewhere; and without transferability of models from one part of a region to another part of the same region, taste and value differences t...
متن کاملApplication of Discrete 3-level Nested Logit Model in Travel Demand Forecasting as an Alternative to Traditional 4-Step Model
This paper aims to introduce a new modelling approach that represents departure time, destination and travel mode choice under a unified framework. Through it, it is possible to overcome shortages of the traditional 4-step model associated with the lack of introducing actual travellers’ behaviours. This objective can be achieved through adopting discrete 3-level Nested Logit model that represen...
متن کاملTransportation and Land Use Policy Analysis Using Integrated Transport and Gravity - Based Land Use Models
Forecasting urban futures is of great importance to many in order to ensure adequate provision of public and private services and implement policies that guide demand while mitigating negative impacts. This study produces year-2030 predictions of land use and travel conditions across the Austin-Round Rock Metropolitan Statistical Area of Texas, by integrating a gravity-based land use model (mod...
