Abstract:

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has a comprehensive on-going travel survey ; program that supports the travel demand models being developed for transportation planning efforts in urban ; areas throughout Texas. One component of the survey program is the external travel survey. External travel ; surveys provide data on travel movements into, out of, and through urban areas. In recent years, there has ; been a heightened sensitivity to the methods used to collect external survey data as well as the type of data ; that is collected. This research examines alternative methods for collecting data on external travel ; movements and evaluates the potential for synthesizing/modeling external travel in lieu of conducting ; external surveys. The research will provide recommendations to TxDOT on the most viable methods to ; estimate external travel movements for use in travel demand models in urban areas in Texas.
