A STATE OF THE ART LITERATURE REVIEW ON STATEWIDE TRAFFIC MODELS

A state of the art literature review on statewide traffic models is presented. Theories and hypotheses advanced for the description of intercity traveling are identified and examined for their application to form the basis for a statewide planning analytical framework. Variations in intercity traveling due to differences in traveler characteristics, purpose of trip, mode and locality, of travel are discussed. Significant socioeconomic variables and mathematical structures that may be used as guidelines for future studies are identified. Selected abstracts are then presented of nine state and national planning projects and the traffic model procedures are described.
