A TRANSPORTATION PLANNING MODEL FOR DETAILED TRAFFIC ANALYSES

This paper contains a brief outline of a transportation planning model developed for the purpose of providing detailed analyses of commuter traffic. It sets out to model the movement of automobile, transit and pedestrian traffic taking into account the interaction between and within each of the traffic components. The model is most appropriately applied to areas of high traffic activity, such as the central business district of a metropolitan area or arterial streets of a region-wide network during peak demand. /Author/
