Abstract:

The objectives of this study are: 1. To develop and validate a methodology for MPO’s to synthesize household travel survey data using local sociodemographic characteristics in conjunction with a national source of simulated travel data. 2. To evaluate whether travel-demand models estimated with these synthetic data perform better than models or statistics developed in other contexts. 3. To evaluate the transferability of the approach. Here, the procedures will be run for two other urban areas with different socio-demographic characteristics to Baton Rouge - Baton Rouge is the test site for meeting the first two objectives.
