A state-of-the-art approach to urban travel demand modeling
Currently used travel forecasting methodology was developed almost
three decades ago, primarily to assess the impacts of large-scale
capital improvement projects, and was not designed to deal with
contemporary urban transportation problems. To be effective today,
travel demand models must explicitly represent traveler behavior,
must be policy-sensitive, and must be operationally reliable.
Urban Travel Demand Modeling: From Individual Choices to General
Equilibrium presents an integrated system of models which overhaul
the four traditional phases of travel generation, modal split, trip
distribution, and network assignment. This book shows, for the
first time, how generalized network equilibrium may be rigorously
forecast from the optimal travel choices of "trip consumers"
without the need to resort to heuristic procedures such as
feedbacks. In addition, models for optimal transportation supply
decisions are integrated with the demand models. Transit travel and
goods movements are specifically addressed.
To make this book as self-contained as possible, the author
provides review material on the mathematics required and the basic
concepts of discrete choice modeling. Numerical examples throughout
the book demonstrate the calibration and use of the models in a
variety of situations, including uncongested and congested
networks. Review problems are systematically provided, many with
solutions. Illustrative add-on software for model implementation on
several popular platforms is also available separately.
Urban Travel Demand Modeling may be used at the senior and graduate
levels in civil engineering, economics, operations research, urban
and regional planning, and geography courses. Transportation
professionals in the private and public sectors, academics and
researchers, will also find this methodology a rich, versatile, and
efficient tool with which to address major urban transportation
issues, including demand management, road and parking pricing,
environmental impacts, changing socioeconomic and activity
patterns, and urban development.
