Abstract:

Caltrans District 7 manages the highway system of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. As part ; of their responsibilities, the agency needs to generate planning reports. One such report is the ; transportation concept report (TCR). It is route specific and needs to be updated periodically. Data for ; these reports are generated using a network and travel demand model. In the past Caltrans used an indeveloped ; model. However in response to changing resource availability and the need for better ; collaboration with other regional agencies, Caltrans decided to use a model that had been developed by ; the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Caltrans found itself struggling to ; effectively use the SCAG model. Caltrans had long developed modeling and reporting practices around ; its original model. In this research effort, we helped Caltrans by studying their procedures and ; recommending possible changes. We also developed a tool which could facilitate the translation of ; SCAG’s results to Caltrans’ immediate needs.
