A PROCEDURAL GUIDE FOR URBAN TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTING IN WYOMING

The companion document, "Development of a Methodology for Synthesizing Travel patterns for Use in Any Wyoming Urban Area," describes the efforts of establishing generalized trip generation and distribution models. These models are based upon available origin-destination data collected in Wyoming and would be used to synthesize trip making in Wyoming urban areas. Indications are that the models will serve Wyoming's transportation planning needs. This procedural guide encompasses these models as the means of obtaining travel forecasts. The efficiency of these models and methodology depend greatly upon a close working relationship between the transportation planner and the study director. This report will touch upon defining the study and its component parts, identifying the necessary input, and using and adjusting the models necessary to simulate travel patterns. This text supplements other methodologies and documentation dealing with transportation planning and, hence, will not necessarily delve into any one-aspect too deeply.
