6 Travel Demand Modeling The Past 70 s - 80 s NCDOT - model expert MPO - land use expert TranPlan Into the 90 s CHANGE WAS A COMIN

7 ISTEA Changing Times Nationally more requirements regular updates Air Quality conformity Travel demand modeling

8 Changing Times North Carolina Planning staff spread thin Project level traffic forecasts High growth Staff turnover and over and over

9 Travel Demand Modeling The Past Our models became stagnate 100% S-E data survey model drives planning schedule 1st Regional model 1 MPO had model that NCDOT could not use Travel Model Improvement Program

10 Travel Demand Modeling The Present TransCAD Different types of models regional models 4-step (minus mode split) models hand allocation and trend line

11 Travel Demand Modeling The Future Different tool for different needs regional models standard 4-step models quick response (under development) manual allocation trend line

12 Forecasts Model vs Project WHAT S THE PROBLEM? & (WHY) DO WE CARE?

13 Project Level Traffic Forecast Evolution

14 Project Level Traffic Forecast Process Request is made Communicate with Requestor Official Review Distribution

15 Request is Made Tracking status assignment Coordinate with Groups review work load analysis tool (model) project history

16 Request is Made Assignment Planning Group Forecasting Group Consultant

17 Project Level Traffic Forecast Process Request is made Communicate with Requestor Official Review Distribution

18 Communicate with Requestor State Traffic Forecast Engineer Forecaster bridge project 5 months simple widening 6 months major widening/new location > 6 months

19 Project Level Traffic Forecast Process Request is made Communicate with Requestor Official Review Distribution

20 Official Review Internal State Traffic Forecast Engineer AND Forecast Group to Planning Group OR Planning Group to Forecast Group

21 Official Review Private Engineering Firm State Traffic Forecast Engineer AND Forecast Group AND Planning Group

22 Project Level Traffic Forecast Process Request is made Communicate with Requestor Official Review Distribution

23 Distribution Requestor Highway Design Project Development and Environmental Planning Traffic Engineering etc...

24 Project Level Traffic Forecast Procedure Analysis tools and data Scenarios Documentation Resolution of Issues

25 Analysis Tools Traffic Forecast Utility straight line simple interest

26

27 Analysis Tools Travel Demand Model (beware of mixing model output)

28 Project Level Traffic Forecast Procedure Analysis tools and data Scenarios Documentation Resolution of Issues

29 Scenarios Base year no-build * Base year build Future year no-build Future year build * Other alternatives * Required Scenario

30 Project Level Traffic Forecast Procedure Analysis tools and data Scenarios Documentation Resolution of Issues

31 Documentation If the goal were inconsistency - we would win the gold! Planning Group - random Forecast Group - better - standard outline Consultants - good - establishing expectations and standards

32 Project Level Traffic Forecast Procedure Analysis tools and data Scenarios Documentation Resolution of Issues

33 Resolution of Issues State Traffic Forecast Engineer

34 Model vs Project Why are they different? assumptions outputs use Who cares? public

35 Model vs Project What can we do? better labeling/education documentation How is NCDOT doing? getting better and heading in the right direction
