VALIDATION AND APPLICATION OF AN EQUILIBRIUM-BASED TWO-MODE URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLANNING METHOD (EMME)

The purpose of this paper is to report on the validation and application of the two-mode urban transportation planning technique called EMME. This method may be characterized as an integrated two-mode traffic equilibrium method. Roughly speaking, this method combines a zonal aggregate-demand model with an equilibrium-type road assignment and a transit-assignment method. We describe the validation and application of the model by using data from the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. (Authors)
