  1. OVERVIEW OF TRAVEL DEMAND FORECASTING

  2. TDF RELATIONSHIPS Urban Activity Transit and Highway Networks Travel Demand Forecasting Process 1A

  3. AVAILABLE TOOLS Sketch Tools discussed in this text NUMBER OF ALTERNATIVES Traditional Tools Micro-Analysis Tools LEVEL OF DETAIL 1B

  4. AVAILABLE TOOLS • Sketch tools -- preliminary planning • Traditional tools -- tactical planning • Micro-analysis -- detailed, near-term planning 2A

  5. AVAILABLE TOOLS short-range planning long-range planning SKETCH SKETCH MICRO-ANALYSIS TRADITIONAL 2B

  15. Attractiveness and accessibility of j Attractiveness and accessibility of all zones GRAVITY MODEL Mathematical Form Trips produced at i Tij =  where: Tij = trips from zone i to zone j Pi = trips sent from zone i Ai = trips received from zone i Fij = travel time factor between zone i and zone j Conceptual Form 3A
