Bismarck Mandan 2015 Travel Demand Model Update

The Bismarck Mandan Travel Demand Model (TDM) is updated every five years to reflect new ground truths/data and the advancements in the state-of-the-art in transportation modeling techniques and methods. The current update reflects base year 2015 data. The model is a four-step TDM including trip generations, trip distributions, modal split and trip assignment. The update process involves calibrating the model input parameters and validating the model output with ground truths. For the 2015 base year model, several updates were made to the model to reflect the availability of new and improved data, new and advanced methods in modeling software and the inclusion of long-haul freight movements as part of the model. New data that was used for 2015 model update included: Origin Destination Data (Obtained from Airsage), the traffic analysis tool data, incorporation of truck counts and Freight Analysis Framework (FAF) data to model freights.
