  1. El Paso–Juarez Border Integration Salvador González-Ayala El Paso MPO / IMIP / ICRC

  2. El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling Motivation: Conventional TDM approach treats POEs as “simple” external stations Yet, POEs usually handle more travel than inland access facilities

  3. POE mode share El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling Motivation: Conventional TDM approach treats POEs as “simple” external stations Yet, POEs usually handle more travel than inland access facilities Mode choice on POEs tends to be highly sensitive to inspection delay

  4. El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling Motivation: Conventional TDM approach treats POEs as “simple” external stations Yet, POEs usually handle more travel than inland access facilities Mode choice on POEs tends to be highly sensitive to inspection delay …these special conditions suggest more careful modeling of POEs

  5. El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling Joint Research objectives Develop a TDM to characterize transborder commuter travel (extend boundaries, eliminate external stations at POEs) • Bi-national setting • Sensitive to land-use & transportation infrastructure • Sensitive to crossing delay Test TDM on different scenarios

  6. El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling • IMIP applies initial transborder travel surveys (1996) • ICRC/MPO/IMIP develop TTDM • Transborder BRT evaluated with TTDM (2004) • IMIP is updating Juarez demographics for the MPO • IMIP is conducting new series of transborder travel surveys on MX side (spring 2007) • MPO will conduct new series of transborder travel surveys on US side (fall 2007) • In 2007 new POEs will be evaluated

  7. component 1 EPTDM component 2 JZTDM El Paso-Juarez Border integration The regional model • EPTDM and JZTDM yield internal-to-city trips • TTDM yield transborder trips component 3 • Fratar technique used only for external trips to the region

  8. El Paso-Juarez Border integration The regional model • EPTDM and JZTDM yield internal-to-city trips • TTDM yield transborder trips • Fratar technique used only for external trips to the region

  9. El Paso-Juarez Border integration The regional model • EPTDM and JZTDM yield internal-to-city trips • TTDM yield transborder trips • Fratar technique used only for external trips to the region

  10. El Paso-Juarez Border integration The regional model • EPTDM and JZTDM yield internal-to-city trips • TTDM yield transborder trips • Fratar technique used only for external trips to the region

  11. To be improved by intruduction of POE micro-simulation El Paso-Juarez Border integration The regional model (TTDM component) • 4-step sequential logic • 24hr assignment

  12. El Paso-Juarez Border integration Travel surveys • POE intercept questionnaires • Brief design

  13. El Paso-Juarez Border integration Travel surveys • POE intercept questionnaires • Brief design Pre-post crossing chains Household data Delay tolerance

  14. El Paso-Juarez Border integration TTDM application (2005) • Assignment for validation (Do-nothing scenario)

  15. El Paso-Juarez Border integration TTDM application (2005) • Assignment for validation (Do-nothing scenario) Conventional approach (external stations)

  16. El Paso-Juarez Border integration Conclusions • The TTDM significantly improves POE forecast accuracy, with a multimodal dimension. • The TTDM is sensitive to POE delay (mode choice and POE choice now…trip choice after 2007). • POE intercept questionnaires are a cost-effective survey instrument for a TTDM. • Current census data fields can be used to develop a TTDM (US Census and INEGI variables). • Bi-national cooperation is a must
