TRANSIT TRIP DISTRIBUTION MODEL FOR MULTIMODAL SUBAREA FOCUSING

Stephen M Howe, Yehuda Gur, David L Kurth

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a model for distribution of transit person trips, separately from automobile trips, as an integral component of a multimodal subarea focusing methodology. The extension of subarea focusing to multimodal transportation planning is reviewed. The components of the multimodal transportation analysis process, particularly the interaction between disaggregate mode choice estimation and mode-specific trip distribution, are then described. Transit trip distribution model theory and design are then presented, featuring the simultaneous distribution of distinct transit trip classes. An analysis of observed travel patterns and subsequent transit assignment and, therefore, point to greater precision in assessing the effects of transit-oriented actions. (Author)
