Abstract:

A combined model of travel demand is introduced to analyze the effects of new transportation policies on travel patterns. A brief discussion of the need for new forecasting procedures is followed by a description of the combined model's formulation. The procedure used to solve the combined model (i.e., to forecast travel demand) is then compared with a sequential modeling process currently used by planning agencies. Three scenarios representing possible policy results are analyzed in terms of their effects on different travel and network-related variables. The scenarios studied represent changes in transit fares, fuel costs, and land use changes that consider dispersed employment locations. Finally, research possibilities that could enhance the applicability of the combined model for various policy analyses are examined.
