MODELING TRAFFIC FLOW FOR GROUND TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AT A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Over the past several years, the efficiency of travel demand modeling has improved significantly with advances in modeling techniques and computer technology. Not surprisingly, with these advances, engineers and planners have increased their reliance on this tool in evaluating and making decisions regarding the implementation of new policies, land use alternatives, and infrastructure improvements. A customized application of the traditional travel demand modeling process has proven to be a powerful analytical tool in the ground transportation planning of Logan 2000, a $1.2 million modernization program for Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts.
