Relationships were developed between the time spent in each driving mode (cruise, acceleration, deceleration, and idle) and basic link characteristics based on simulations of selected real-world surface street networks and freeway sections using the TRAF-NETSIM and INTRAS microscopic models, supplemented by field data. These relationships were then incorporated into a specially written computer program as a postprocessor to the Urban Transportation Planning System type of four-step travel demand models. The integrated model was successfully applied to the 1,120-zone Metropolitan Transportation Commission San Francisco Bay Area network to generate vehicle activity estimates.
