Travel Demand Forecasting 2014 PDF Download

"TRB's Transportation Research Record (TRR): Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2429 consists of 19 papers that examine methods for quantitative risk analysis for travel demand model forecasts; models of demand elasticity and route overlapping; ways of incorporating the variable of escorting children to school to model individual daily activity patterns of household members; uncertainty in speed-flow curve parameters on a large-scale model; use of synthetic population for transportation applications; and sequential estimation and estimation of hybrid choice models. This issue also explores an integrated transportation planning framework involving a combined utility regret approach; joint modeling of trip mode and departure time choices using revealed and stated preference data; choice set imputation using a two-step weighted stratified and hazard-based approach; a multiple discrete-continuous model of activity participation and time allocation for home-based work tours; an empirical assessment of spatial transferability of tour-based, time-of-day choice models; modeling taxi trip demand by time of day in New York City; and application of a travel activity scheduler for household agents in a Chinese city. Additionally, this TRR summarizes the characterization of household vehicle fleet composition and count by type in an integrated modeling framework; extension of an activity-based modeling approach to incorporate supply side of activities; practical solutions for sampling alternatives in large-scale models; using survey calibration and statistical matching to reweight and distribute activity schedules; synthetic population generation at disaggregated spatial scales for land use and transportation microsimulation; and model complexities and requirements for multimodal transportation network design."--Publisher's description.
