Development of Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission Tour-Based Model

In 2002, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) contracted with PB Consult to develop a new regional travel forecasting model. The new model is an activity- and tour-based model applied with microsimulation. The development of the model was based on the 1999 Household Interview Survey, which was supplemented by the 1993 Central Ohio Transportation Authority On-Board Survey and an external cordon survey conducted in 1995. The new model system was completed in 2004. The MORPC model incorporates most of the positive features of the other activity- and tour-based models as well as the growing body of research on activity-based modeling and microsimulation. The new model is being used by MORPC for conformity analysis, transit alternative analysis, and highway-related management information systems projects in the Columbus region.
