Travel Forecasting: 2011, Volume 2

TRB Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2255 consists of 18 papers that explore workplace choices and travel demand, effects of peak load pricing on metropolitan network and activities, population synthesis in activity-based microsimulation models, vehicle type choice and tour length, integration of activity-based and agent-based models, problem of transshipment in travel forecasting, opportunity-based accessibility, and job mobility and location choice decisions.

This issue of the TRR also examines forecasting the location of new housing, historical validation of integrated transport–land use model system, influence of urban form and public transit accessibility on distance traveled, impact on transport of planned decentralization of employment, bottleneck and queuing analysis, change in land use through microsimulation of market dynamics, travel by university students, traffic use of rest areas on rural highways, parking dwell time at rest areas on rural highways, and the impact of strategy development frameworks on performance of the transportation infrastructure.
