Use of GIS in the Validation of Travel Forecasing Models
Track: Urban and Regional Planning
Authors: Petya Maneva, Vladimir Livshits, Kyunghwi Jeon

Validation of travel forecasting models often requires delineation of travel analysis districts with the help of GIS tools and the subsequent district-level comparison between travel demand model results and an independent source of travel data such as Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP). The proposed presentation outlines details about the district delineation, the proportional distribution of commuter trips between districts and the validation process.
