TMGT 850: Travel Demand Analysis

TMGT 850 · Graduate

Theories and methods of travel demand modeling for transportation planning and policy analysis, from the classic four-step framework (trip generation, distribution, mode choice, and assignment) to activity-based models and tools like QRS II, EMME2, TransCAD, TRANSIMS, and Python/R frameworks such as Grid2Demand. Emphasis on model development, calibration, and communicating results through technical reports and presentations.
