 Implementing an ArcGIS Application for Travel Model Network Development Track: Transportation Author(s): Jingke Chen Accuracy of travel model network data is critical to the accuracy of travel demand forecasting. Houston-Galveston Area Council's Transportation Department has been using a set of customized ArcInfo menus and AML programs to check network coding errors (such as duplicate links and nodes, missing links and nodes, and incorrect link attributes), update the attributes of network link and centroid connector, and export network link data in EMME/2 readable format as input files to EMME/2 travel demand model. In order to enhance the existing application by taking advantage of the open customization environment within ArcGIS, we decided to migrate the existing AML application to an ArcGIS application using ArcObjects technology. This paper will discuss the implementation of ArcObjects technology to enhance existing application and conclude with lessons learned from this process.
