Stakeholder Workshop July 22, 2003
Model Objectives • Forecast ADT on the Rural State Highway System • Autos & Trucks • Arterial System • Complement, But Not Compete With, 9 MPO Models • Forecast traffic to, from and thru MPOs, but not within.
Why Practice? • Traffic forecasts affect every aspect of a State DOT’s core business activities: • planning & finance, programming, design, construction & maintenance • A useful, cost-effective tool • system, corridor, project level data for evaluating needs & alternatives • reliable & timely forecasts • consistent methodology
OK, I have my duck taped. Now how about a statewide model? Tom Dear Office of Homeland Security:
Urban Models Federal mandate, 40+ years R&D Predictable travel behavior, specialized tools. Attractive career paths for modelers. Why Not? Statewide Models • No federal mandate, little R&D or data • Travel behavior less predictable, modeling tools less useful. • Limited career paths for DOT modelers.
