Abstract
The Fargo Moorhead MPO Travel Demand Model (TDM) is updated every five years to replicate new data and the advancements in state-of-the-art transportation modeling methods and techniques. The original timeline for the current model was set for 2020. However, due to COVID-19, travel patterns changed because of travel restrictions and work-from-home policies. Therefore, instead of 2020, the current model update reflects 2021 base year data. The four-step TDM includes trip generations, trip distributions, modal split, and trip assignment was used for developing the model. The model update process involves the calibration of model input parameters and validation of model output with ground truths.
