Title:

Types of Transportation Demand Corridors and Their Potential Uses from a Collective Standpoint

Abstract:

Corridor study is considered as a high-level study in transportation planning; demand corridors, as a distinguished part of main corridors categories, identify and analyze the concentration of similar trips within a territory by using simple demand elements (i.e., Origin and destination (OD) points) to better understand mobility pattern and to assess and improve the transportation supply. Many kinds of demand corridors can be identified with the same set of data by using different identification approaches; each type has its own characteristics and will therefore have different usefulness, so it is vital to carefully identify the type of transportation corridor to be used. This paper relies on a demand corridor identification approach to propose a typology that classifies corridors into three types: segments corridors, uniform corridors, and interzonal corridors. Then, the typology is applied by using an algorithm, TraClus-DL, on disaggregated data from a Montreal OD survey. This application illustrates the possibility of identifying the three types of corridor from the same data set and it highlights some of the potential use of each type in different transportation planning levels such as identifying, analyzing and characterizes movement patterns and major collective axis and areas. This paper proposes a novel demand corridor typology without the direct influence of any transportation supply elements; furthermore, it illustrates the potentials of using disaggregated data to identify and study mobility patterns objectively. The proposed typology helps with the selection of the appropriate type of demand corridors for the decision-making and transportation planning processes.
