TopicsThe Special Committee for Travel Forecasting (ADB45) selected the initial set of topics under development. The list of topic possibilities is vast, but the timeframe to develop content for this intial version of the website was not. Based on expertise of current Committee members and their familiarity with the research and information already available, the following topics were selected for initial consideration:
- Data/Surveys,
- Networks,
- Transit,
- Pricing,
- Conformity and
- Green House Gas.
The topics and subtopics are organized by the four categories shown here and can be seen from the sidebar on each category page. If you would like to see a particular topic become active in the next round of content development, please follow the survey link where you can make your suggestions known. You can also use the Feedback button at the top of this page to make comments. We are anxious to hear from you and welcome your participation! Travel forecasts are a critical component of transportation planning. The Big Picture section of this resource is included to provide an overview of transportation planning and travel forecasting and to help guide the visitor with less experience in travel forecasting through the definitions, issues, techniques, types and uses of travel forecasting models. More » | The Model Input section deals with the information needed at the outset of any travel modeling effort, most often based on observed behavior or existing conditions. Information on Data, Surveys and Networks is included under this category. More » | The Model Development section deals with the process of building travel forecasting models. Traditional and advanced models are included here, along with case studies and experience from those already involved. More » | The Model Application section includes examples of using travel models to make transportation related decisions. We expect this section will eventually be the most extensive as travel forecasts are used in many different ways and by many different agencies. Research and practitioner experience is included.
