Book excerpt: This bibliography is part of an on-going research project between the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The bibliography has attempted to include all significant reports prepared by the Institute in support of urban transportation travel demand modeling and forecasting practice in Texas. An annotation is provided for those reports which still may be of interest to practitioners. Several reports which are now obsolete due to improvements in computer technology are included for completeness and historical interest. In addition several reports prepared by TxDOT which bear directly on travel demand modeling practice are included. The Department reports are not complete and users of this bibliography are requested to provide the Institute with copies of Department reports not presently included so that they may be included in future revisions. The bibliography is organized into six sections: trip generation, trip distribution, traffic assignment, travel surveys, air quality analysis, and overview. Reports are placed in each section according to the phase of modeling covered by the report. However, since the modeling phases are interdependent, most reports will cover aspects of more than one phase. Reports which clearly cover more than one modeling phase are placed in the overview section.
Download or read book Travel Forecasting Guidelines written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implementing transportation improvements requires a significant effort that may involve several levels of planning; social, economic and environmental documentation; geometric and structural design; operations analysis; signalized intersection design; and/or pavement design. Accurate and timely traffic estimates and forecasts are basic to the entire transportation planning process and are essential to enable the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to effectively meet the mobility needs of the state. This guide provides an introduction to the transportation planning and travel demand forecasting requirements and establishes the policies, processes and methodologies for developing traffic forecasts for the various stages of TxDOT project development.

Download or read book Manual for the Interactive Training System for Texas Travel Models written by George B. Dresser and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Package of travel demand forecasting programs is a mainframe mathematical model for forecasting travel in urban areas in the state of Texas. Interactive Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet templates have been developed to provide case study examples of the mathematical functions used in the Texas Package. This manual is intended for use by the Texas Department of Transportation offices, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, municipalities, counties, and consultants contracted by public agencies in the state of Texas for training employees in the theory and application of the Texas Package travel demand forecasting model. The information contained in the Lotus 1-2-3 modules can be used to train new staff members or to refresh employees who have been minimally exposed to the travel demand forecasting process. The models and formulas contained in the spreadsheet templates are not solely applicable to the Texas models but are examples of standard travel modeling practices used in other states as well.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), under a contract with the Dallas District of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), provided traffic data for the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTGOV) for their transportation planning in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This effort included volume counts, vehicle classification counts, and speed data for 23 urban corridors in the area. In addition, external station volume counts were collected for 32 external stations, and journey travel time data were collected for nine activity centers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project was to develop a better understanding of the process of forecasting turning flows. Review of the literature provided information about the state of the research in the area of turning flow forecasts and provided information about the models available for use in making turning flow forecasts. A telephone survey was performed to obtain information about the state of the practice in forecasting turning flows in the United States. Turning flow proportions were analyzed to show a coorelation between turning flow proportion and functional classification, and in doing so, average turning flow proportions were developed.

Download or read book Forecasting Travel in Urban America written by Konstantinos Chatzis and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of urban travel demand modeling (UTDM) and its enormous influence on American life from the 1920s to the present. For better and worse, the automobile has been an integral part of the American way of life for decades. Its ascendance would have been far less spectacular, however, had engineers and planners not devised urban travel demand modeling (UTDM). This book tells the story of this irreplaceable engineering tool that has helped cities accommodate continuous rise in traffic from the 1950s on. Beginning with UTDM’s origins as a method to help plan new infrastructure, Konstantinos Chatzis follows its trajectory through new generations of models that helped make optimal use of existing capacity and examines related policy instruments, including the recent use of intelligent transportation systems. Chatzis investigates these models as evolving entities involving humans and nonhumans that were shaped through a specific production process. In surveying the various generations of UTDM, he delves into various means of production (from tabulating machines to software packages) and travel survey methods (from personal interviews to GPS tracking devices and smartphones) used to obtain critical information. He also looks at the individuals who have collectively built a distinct UTDM social world by displaying specialized knowledge, developing specific skills, and performing various tasks and functions, and by communicating, interacting, and even competing with one another. Original and refreshingly accessible, Forecasting Travel in Urban America offers the first detailed history behind the thinkers and processes that impact the lives of millions of city dwellers every day.
Download or read book Traffic Demand Analysis in Major Investment Studies written by John C. Brunk and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal regulations and guidance define major investment studies (MIS) as a flexible framework that can be tailored to provide the information needed to make local decisions about transportation investments. It is intended to enhance the planning process by requiring consideration of a broad array of alternatives and higher levels of public participation early in the process. The consideration of mobility and accessibility improvements, and operating efficiencies in the development and evaluation of alternatives is encouraged, but no particular approach or level of detail is required concerning traffic demand analysis. This project examines 13 completed MISs to identify the state-of-the-practice of traffic demand analysis employed in Texas and around the country. An examination of the methods identified was compiled in a range of analysis alternatives from planning-level down to microscopic analysis of freeway flow. Guidelines are included to help agencies conduct an MIS that adequately addresses traffic demand.
