Title: MODELS FOR RECREATION TRAFFIC ESTIMATION WITHIN A NATIONAL FOREST
Accession Number: 00228339
Record Type: Component
Abstract: A SET OF TRAVEL DEMAND MODELS WAS DEVELOPED TO ESTIMATE RECREATION TRAFFIC ON THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM OF A NATIONAL FOREST. THESE MODELS WERE CALIBRATED AND TESTED ON TRAVEL PATTERN DATA COLLECTED AT TAHOE NATIONAL FOREST IN CALIFORNIA. THIS PAPER DESCRIBES THE MODELS AND DOCUMENTS THEIR USE TO REPRODUCE THE OBSERVED PATTERN OF TRIPS TO FOREST CAMPGROUNDS. THE PROJECT ILLUSTRATED A TWO-STAGE APPROACH TO RECREATION TRAFFIC ESTIMATION BY TYING INTO STATEWIDE RECREATION TRAFFIC ESTIMATES PRODUCED BY A SECOND SET OF "MACRO-ALLOCATION" MODELS. THE MODELS PROVED CAPABLE OF REPRODUCING 88 PERCENT OF THE VARIATION IN THE OBSERVED DATA. THE SET OF MODELS CONTAINS CAPABILITIES FOR TRIP GENERATION AND FOR TRIP DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT. THE PRINCIPAL DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT MODEL IS AN INTERVENING OPPORTUNITIES MODEL FORMULATED TO TAKE THE TRAVEL TIME BETWEEN ATTRACTORS EXPLICITLY INTO ACCOUNT.
