Travel demand modeling for developing countries
The transportation planning process or travel demand forecasting process which is most commonly used at present, called the Urban Transportation Planning Process (UTPP), has its origins in studies performed about three decades ago in urban areas in the United States. This conventional planning …

Forecasting 65+ travel : an integration of cohort analysis and travel demand modeling
… This study forecasts the aging Boomers' travel. Previous efforts to forecast 65+ travel are lacking in key two respects: they have failed to incorporate generation differences and have forecasted only broad travel characteristics (e.g. vehicle miles traveled). Drawing on the theory of …

Impact of freeway-arterial interchange closures: an alternate route assessment using travel demand modeling for the state of Delaware
… traffic conditions throughout the network using travel demand modeling software, it is possible to determine the effects, adverse or not, of major closures. Such an assessment is purposeful, ensuring the resiliency of the freeway by understanding the resulting congestion to relieving or …

Exploration of the future enterprise system architecture of the Japanese-origin high-speed railway in Texas.
… failure of large-scale projects, with a focus on demand estimation and organizational design. It then analyzes future demand for Texas HSR using two data sources: the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program’s Origin-Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) and the Next Generation …

Development of an alternative approach to transit demand modeling
… for analysis of investment projects. Transit demand depends on many multifaceted parameters affecting the mode choice of individual commuters. The urban planning as a field faces the demand in creation of a universal model which would allow to estimate transit demand of the areas of different …

Integrated network-based models for evaluating and optimizing the impact of electric vehicles on the transportation system
… concerned with developing new formulations for modeling travelling behavior of electric vehicle drivers in a mixed flow traffic network environment. Much of the work in this dissertation is motivated by the special features of PEVs (such as range limitation, requirement of long …

Temporal transferability assessments of vehicle ownership models and trip generation models for Boston Metropolitan Area
In the last few decades, travel demand models have undergone tremendous development and, today, are routinely used to support planning and policy decisions. But uncertainty in forecasting with such models is often overlooked, and its impact on forecast accuracy is rarely evaluated. My thesis is …

An assessment tool for the appropriateness of activity-based travel demand models
… are considering or implementing activity-based travel demand models to forecast future travel patterns. The proclivity towards operating activity-based models is the capability to model disaggregate travel data to better understand the model results that are generated with respect to the latest …

Preparing urban mobility for the future of work: impacts and adaptation
… work in recent years has upended longstanding travel patterns. Commuting to work is no longer a routine trip with a fixed destination; millions of people have suddenly been granted the flexibility to choose their own work location and travel schedule when working remotely. Urban transportation …

Transportation system modeling and applications in earthquake engineering
… consequences. Therefore, understanding and modeling the disastrous impact on the transportation infrastructures and the corresponding changes of travel patterns under extreme events are vital for stakeholders, emergency managers, and government agencies to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, …

Analisi comportamentale della scelta del percorso attraverso l'utilizzo di nuove tecnologie di acquisizione delle informazioni
In travel demand modeling, route choice is one of the most complex decision-making contexts to understand and mathematically represent for several reasons. Firstly, a large number of available paths may exist between the same origin-destination (OD) pair. Secondly, neither the traveler nor the …
