Travel demand models use current travel behavior to predict future travel patterns from a sample of travel behavior data.
Transportation models are a critical tool utilized by planners, engineers, and decision-makers to understand the performance of a transportation network today so that the impacts of future changes in demographics, land use, policy decisions, and infrastructure improvements can be forecasted for different future scenarios. For example, a microsimulation model may use existing travel behaviors to predict how localized roadway changes, such as work zones, will impact weaving, congestion, speeding, and other traffic patterns.
Travel Demand Models could be in traditional Four-Step Models or in the new approach to Activity-Based Models.
