Travel Demand Forecasting Parameters And Techniques

TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 716: Travel Demand Forecasting: Parameters and Techniques provides guidelines on travel demand forecasting procedures and their application for helping to solve common transportation problems.

"TRB's Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2303 consists of 13 papers that examine regional modeling of nonmotorized travel; surveys of departure time choice; an integrated land use-transport model system; residential relocation choice; green and active access to rail transit stations; predictions of travel behavior before and after transportation system changes; and estimating mobile-source greenhouse gas emissions. This issue of the TRR also explores socioeconomic model systems for activity-based modeling; trip rates and accessibility; the outcome of transportation projects under uncertainty; transportation alternatives costs and benefits; quantitative approaches for project prioritization; and estimating rest area use"--Publication information.

This book provides an updated, concise summary of forecasting air travel demand methodology. It looks at air travel demand forecasting research and attempts to outline the whole intellectual landscape of demand forecasting. It helps readers to understand the basic idea of TEI@I methodology used in forecasting air travel demand and how it is used in developing air travel demand forecasting methods. The book also discusses what to do when facing different forecasting problems making it a useful reference for business practitioners in the industry.

"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 735: Long-Distance and Rural Travel Transferable Parameters for Statewide Travel Forecasting Models explores transferable parameters for long-distance and rural trip-making for statewide models. Appendixes G, H, and I are not contained in print or PDF versions of the report but are available online. Appendix G presents a series of rural typology variables considered in stratifying model parameters and benchmarks and identifies the statistical significance of each. Appendix H contains rural trip production rates for several different cross-classification schemes and the trip rates associated with each. Finally, Appendix I provides additional information on auto occupancy rates."--Publisher's description.
