Travel estimation techniques for urban planning

Wikelski Martin, Nancy McGuckin

Open publisher page 177 citations

Abstract

This report updates NCHRP Report 187, Quick-Response Urban Travel Estimation Techniques and Transferable Parameters (1978). It provides a thorough review of the four-step travel demand process and transferable parameters that can be used in simple planning analyses. It will be particularly useful to planners in smaller urban areas that cannot afford to develop area-specific parameters. A case study illustrates how the techniques and parameters can be applied in a typical study.
