Abstract

ATAC completed a major update of GF-EGF MPO's Regional Travel Model to account for transportation and socio-economic changes since the previous model update. The update also included an upgrade of the model software from Citilab's Tranplan to TP+, a more powerful modeling software. ATAC also converted all of the model network and other data into a GIS platform allowing a more flexible interface for making changes. The updated model was calibrated to 2005 conditions and has since been used to support long-range transportation plans in the GF-EGF region.
