Travel Demand Modeling

 

 

 

 

Travel demand models are effective tools for determining and prioritizing transportation improvements.  Projects that benefit from travel demand models include: traffic forecasts in support of the design and operations of roadways, site-specific traffic forecasting, and corridor and statewide traffic forecasting, including freight and rail studies.  These efforts have been successfully implemented into area-wide, corridor and statewide transportation plan developments.

Depending on the project requirements, Alliance can employ travel demand models to incorporate highway (truck and auto), transit and/or rail.  The resulting analysis is invaluable for evaluating the future use and impacts of transportation improvements.  Potential impacts include: air quality for existing and newly designated non-attainment areas, transportation system user benefits for FTA New Starts, and economic improvements.

Our professionals understand that an essential component of any model development project is ensuring the end user’s ability to run the model and produce usable results.  Alliance integrates all phases of the modeling process into the desired modeling environment.  We develop user-friendly interfaces and custom tools and work with the people who will be using the models.  This interaction results in obtaining the maximum potential from the modeling process.
