Abstract
The Grand Forks East Grand Forks MPO's (The Forks MPO) Travel Demand Model (TDM) is updated every five years to reflect new ground truths/data and the advancements in the state-of-the-art in transportation modeling techniques and methods. The current update reflects the base year 2021 data. The model is a four-step TDM including trip generations, trip distributions, modal split, and trip assignment. The update process involves calibrating the model input parameters and validating the model output with ground truths.
