Tahoe Basin Region Visitor Model: Activity-Based Approach
This paper describes a travel-demand model for seasonal-residents and visitors developed for and applied to the Lake Tahoe basin region. The model includes development of synthetic seasonal-resident, day-visitor, thru-visitor, and overnight-visitor populations, as well as activity-based travel-demand components estimated and calibrated using a variety of travel surveys conducted in the region. Model development issues involving travel survey deficiencies, the importance of external-internal traffic flows, how to determine population size, and seasonal differences are discussed.
