URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING SYSTEM. UTOWN CASE STUDY

This document presents an application of travel demand forecasting models in the Urban Transportation Planning System (UTPS) to a simple transit planning problem in the hypothetical city of UTOWN and serves as a guide to the most commonly used functions in UTPS. The case study of UTOWN is presented as a part of UTPS to provide a comprehensive view of the relation of the UTPS programs and files to one another in the analysis of an actual transportation problem and to familiarize new UTPS users with the inputs, program control (i.e., parameters, options, etc.) and outputs of the programs through the study of the sample runs presented.
