THIS IS ONE OF THE THREE MANUALS IN WHICH THE CHICAGO AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY INTERVENING OPPORTUNITIES MODEL (CATS I.O.M. - 1970) IS DOCUMENTED.

THE FLOWCHARTS PROVIDE THE USER AND THE ANALYST WITH AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM, AID IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRAM'S MORE INTERESTING SECTIONS, AND ARE AN EASILY USED REFERENCE TO DETERMINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SELECTING CERTAIN CONTROL OPTIONS. THE REPORT IS STRUCTURED TO PRESENT EACH OVERLAY AND ITS ROUTINES FLOWCHARTS IN THE ORDER THEY GENERALLY APPEAR IN A SOURCE LISTING. THE PURPOSE AND BASIC LOGIC OF EACH ROUTINE IS DESCRIBED VERY BRIEFLY IN COMMENTS PRECEDING EACH OVERLAY.
