• Abstract:
  Travel demand modeling, in recent years, has seen a paradigm shift with an emphasis on analyzing travel at the ; individual level rather than using direct statistical projections of aggregate travel demand as in the trip-based ; approach. Specifically, several metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) in the U.S are developing and ; implementing advanced travel demand models that are based on a behaviorally more realistic representation of ; demand for travel. In addition, a number of planning agencies are considering the transition toward advanced travel ; demand modeling, TxDOT being one of them. Toward this end, this report provides the details of implementing a ; tour-based travel demand model system. Specifically, the implementation steps are provided for a tour-based model ; system (with no recognition of the interactions among tours). This includes discussion on data assembly and data ; preparation, model estimation and calibration (validation), trip assignment output validation, and software ; recommendations and budgetary considerations.
