• Abstract:
  Florida International University researchers reviewed the Florida Statewide Model as well as trends in travel demand modeling to develop a roadmap for short-term, medium-term, and long-term improvements to FLSWM. Project Activities The researchers reviewed the applicable literature to identify planning applications and issues in statewide travel demand modeling. They found that among the 40 states with statewide models, most were either trip-based (like FLSWM) or activity-based. Several states have adopted new data sources and analysis techniques to improve model capabilities, such as deriving origin-destination tables from cell phone data. Integrating national and statewide models has been explored to add long-distance travel. Statewide models are also taking advantage of the vast data available from commercial sources.
