Travel Model Development

This series of webinars demonstrates the development of model estimation data sets, the structures of the various model components, and the procedures for estimating models.

  • Session 1 introduces the entire series covering definitions of various model types used in transportation planning, including multinomial and nested logit models.
  • Session 2 focuses on how data sets are developed for model estimation.
  • Session 3 is about the estimation process for various types of models.
  • Session 4 discusses the estimation process for Logit models, which are used not only for mode choice but often for other model components.
  • Session 5 focuses on validation and calibration procedures for the models we have examined in earlier sessions of the webinar, including cross-classification, linear regression, gravity, and logit models.
  • Session 6 explores the process of estimating and implementing Logit models, which were introduced in Session 4.
  • Session 7 examines the estimation and implementation of highway and transit assignment processed.
  • Session 8 continues the discussion of validation of aggregate and disaggregate models of trip generation, trip distribution, and mode choice that took place in session 5.
  • Session 9 reviews the entire webinar series on Travel Modeling.
