  • Abstract:
    This paper presents a streamlined version of the Washington, D.C. region's

    4-step travel demand forecasting model. The purpose for streamlining the

    model was to have a model that could: replicate the regional model, and be run

    in a new software, TP/4in1, that executes the entire 4-step process in

    one execution on a PC.

    The streamlined model is similar to, but more simplified than, the regional MPO

    model, with one major difference. The trip generation and mode split steps

    result in a trip generation rate of 10.0 vehicle trips per detached household

    for the suburban/rural trip rate. This is more in line with that of smaller

    communities and yet much higher than the traditional MPO trip rate for larger

    areas.

    The model is now being used for travel forecasting for rural small communities,

    such as Fauquier County, Virginia, (55,000 population in 1995) on the urban

    fringe. This model can be adjusted to local area surveys or used "as is" for

    any sized area, large or small. Using this model makes executing the

    traditional 4-step modeling process quite easy, even for the novice model

    practitioner. This article also describes, very briefly, the new software

    developed to execute this model and is available for free to any public agency.
