URBAN TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTING PROJECT PHASE I FINAL REPORT SERIES, VOLUME III. DISAGGREGATED SUPPLY DATA COMPUTATION PROCEDURES

The document presents the methods and conventions used by the Urban Travel Demand Forecasting Project to prepare disaggregated urban trip time and cost data for use in the development of behavioral travel demand models. Temporally, spatially, and functionally disaggregated times and costs are calculated for individual work trips taken by surveyed samples of employed persons. The surveys were conducted before and after the introduction of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) service in the San Francisco Bay Area. Together with the socioeconomic data derived from these surveys, the work trip data provide the basis for developing and validating the behavioral models. Chapter 3 describes the development of the temporal disaggregation methods used in the calculation of highway and transit trip attributes. Chapter 4 details the procedures and states the many conventions and assumptions necessary to complete the before-BART data set. It also describes some peripheral procedures used in the preparation of cost and reliability data. Chapter 5 details the preparation of the after-BART data.
