TESTS OF THE TEMPORAL STABILITY OF TRAVEL SIMULATION MODELS IN SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN

The assumption of the stability of travel simulation models over time is as assential element of the urban transportation planning process. This assumption was tested using travel simulation models developed with data from an origin and destination survey conducted in 1963 and travel invensoty data from a similar study conducted in 1972. Both surveys were conducted by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission; the travel models tested were those that had been used in the preparation of a regional land use and transportation plan for southeastern Wisconsin that was completed in 1966. The testing performed as a part of the reappraisal of the land use and transportation recommendations of 1966, which was of the temporal stability of the three major travel simulation models-trips generation, model split, and trip distribution-indicated that 1972 trip generation, transit use, and trip length characteristics within southeastern Wisconsin were predicted with adequate accuracy through the application of the original 1963 models. /Author/
