Abstract:

The increasingly sophisticated demands placed on transportation planning models by the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), and to a lesser extent some earlier legislation, have led to the need for re-examination of input travel survey data. The development of the Travel Model Improvement Program (TMIP) is a recognition of the fact that transportation planning models are being asked to perform newer and more complicated analyses, and that in many cases the models are inadequate. The TMIP is designed to implement enhancements to current travel demand models and to develop new modeling procedures that accurately and reliably forecast travel for a broad range of modes, policy actions, and operational conditions. This Travel Survey Manual examines one of the most important aspects of transportation planning models, the input travel survey data. Given their nature, it is extremely likely that the new generation travel models will require as much or more disaggregate survey data collection than existing model systems. This survey manual provides transportation planners with guidance for developing and implementing the most common types of travel surveys, including: Household Travel and Activity Surveys; Vehicle Intercept and External Station Surveys; Transit Onboard Surveys; Commercial Vehicle Surveys; Workplace and Establishment Surveys; Special Generator, Hotel, and Visitor Surveys; and Parking Surveys.
