▼ This thesis examines factors that influence the daily number of trip departures and
arrivals at over 100 hubs comprising Hamilton, Ontario’s (Canada) bike share program
– SoBi (Social Bicycles) Hamilton. SoBi operates all year, and during its first year of
operation (April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016), over 200,000 trips were generated on SoBi
bikes. The study utilizes data from SoBi Hamilton, the 2011 Canadian Census, the 2011
Transportation Tomorrow Survey, Environment Canada, and Hamilton’s Open Source
Data initiative. From these master files, daily trips, meteorological data, temporal
variables, socio-demographic and built environment attributes were obtained to generate
a comprehensive suite of explanatory variables to explain the daily trips at each hub. A
multilevel regression approach was used to understand the associations between bike
share usage at each hub and each suite of explanatory variables at two temporal scales:
total daily trips at hubs and total daily trips across four time periods of the day. Findings
demonstrate that weather and temporal attributes play a significant role in trip departures
and arrivals. In addition, hub attributes vary in significance throughout different times of
the day for trip departures and arrivals. Overall, the methodology and findings allow us
to identify factors that increase SoBi usage, which can also benefit city planners and
engineers who are implementing a bike share system with the goal of maximizing bike
share activity in urban centers.

▼ Today the regional railway system lacks the capacity at the central station in order to meet the demand for both the public and freight transportation. The West link is a railway infrastructure project that is expected to both increase train commuting and also increase the train capacity at the central station in Gothenburg. The purpose of this thesis work is to do an elastic demand analysis between car traffic and the West Link in modal shift to determine how many travelers will change mode. Also traffic simulations will be made to investigate the traffic conditions around the stations when the West link has been implemeted. The simulation results showed that nowadays there are congestions on the major highways and some of the smaller low capacity roads. In the future, congestions will become more significant if no countermeasures are implemented like the West link. In the elastic demand analysis the results were overall around 47% 51% on a demand of between 350 000 400 000 trips. As a conclusion it cannot be said whether the West link will ease the pressure on car traffic or not. The reasons are that the population will increase about 100 000 inhabitants until 2030 and the West link is assumed by the region to have this amount of travelers each day. This would result in the same traffic pressure as today with congestions in certain parts. If the number of West link users will be around 200 000, as the results of this thesis shows, then the West link will ease the pressure on car traffic.

▼ This research increases the overall understanding of a subset of interactions that influence patterns of behaviour: intra-household interactions and spatial interactions. Understanding these interactions and their influence on
travel behaviour is essential to developing policy sensitive models. These models provide much of the prerequisite information for evidence based planning. This understanding is framed through a review of existing best practices in
travel demand modelling and a discussion of how independent models can be integrated within a larger framework.
The thesis presents four empirical models that incorporate either one or both interactions. A model of joint household mode choice which incorporates decisions regarding joint
travel and vehicle allocation is estimated. To accomplish this, the model uses a novel choice set formation technique. This is the first modelling to accomplish these tasks simultaneously. Models of transit station location choice are estimated using a newly proposed model structure, the spatially weighted error correlation model. These spatial models are used to compare the difference between independent (transit accessed by driving alone) and joint (transit accessed by being dropped off) spatial choices. The presented model outperforms existing models used to capture the same trend and provides new behavioural insights. A model of chauffeur allocation and location choice for daycare trips is estimated. This model incorporates spatial constraints in this decision through the application of a stochastic frontier model to generate task allocation specific spatial choice sets. This allows for a reduction in the sampling frame for spatial choices. Finally, a model of high school escort and household mode choice is estimated using a parallel constrained choice logit formulation. This empirical investigation generalizes the parallel constrained choice logit to allow for any number of household members to be considered. Concurrently, this empirical analysis highlights a flaw within an existing “best practice” modelling framework.

▼ Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) have become increasingly interested in incorporating land use patterns and design ideas into transportation problems. Many design ideas under the umbrella of the New Urbanism; yet in practice they hardly get fully implemented in the standard transportation planning procedures. This research intends to contribute to the continuing debate on land use pattern-
travel connection by adding further empirical evidence from the Austin, TX region. Also, it demonstrates ways to integrate land use patterns in transportation
demand analysis. The study identifies 42 mixed use districts (MXD) in the Austin region and analyzes the following aspects of
travel behavior in MXDs and non-MXDs: production trip rates, frequency of produced trips, network trip length, internal rate of capture, and person-miles of
travel (PMT). The study contributes to transportation planning and policy making in Central Texas by providing local empirical evidence on urban form-
travel connection. The study’s method and process can be of interest to a broad audience in academia and practice.

▼ As a sustainable urban development and transportation planning strategy, researchers and planners are increasingly interested in transit-oriented development (TOD). By integrating transit system and neighborhood design, TOD aims to provide a livable environment that is alternative mode friendly, higher density, and mixed-use to residents and workers in the vicinity of transit stations. Despite the recent growing interest in TOE), however, transportation benefits of TOD are not well quantified and characteristics of TOD are not adequately reflected in
travel demand models.
This dissertation contributes to understanding of the
travel and activity behavior by comprehensively exploring them in the context of TOD. Key dimensions of the behavior identified and analyzed in this study are activity location,
travel mode use, activity time allocation, location choice and sequence, and commute time and schedule delay. With a strong research design of comparing TOD (0.5 mile buffer areas around transit stations) with auto-oriented development (AOD) that features relatively low density and mainly residential use, behavioral differences in each dimension were hypothesized and tested. Focusing on the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, this study used the state of the art address-based household
travel survey (N=11,436). The validity of the data was systematically checked for 1) non-coverage errors due to recently increasing mobile phone-only households and 2) trip underreporting as measurement errors. The data appropriateness was confirmed.
Rigorous statistical models were estimated at the household, person, trip, and activity levels, ranging from a local neighborhood to regional space. Results suggest that the
travel and activity behavior between TOD and AOD contexts is significantly different. Key findings are that TOD residents tends to 1) make fewer and shorter automobile trips, but use transit more and walk more for their daily
travel, 2) participate in out-of-home activities and sequence the activity locations centered on transit stations, and 3) commute more reliably (less variant
travel time and more on-time arrival by using a subway or walking), compared to AOD residents. These are largely attributed to the characteristics of the integrated built and transportation environments (e.g., mixed-use, high density, walkable design, accessibility, and/or connectivity). Implications of the findings for sustainable urban development,
travel demand modeling, and geographical
travel time reliability are discussed.

▼ The United States is experiencing a rapid increase in seniors (i.e. 65 years old or higher) population. According to Census Bureau estimates, seniors’ population is expected to increase by 104.2% from 2000 to 2030, which translates into 72.1 million people age 65 and older in 2030. The main reason for this considerable increase in seniors’ population is the entrance of baby boomers into elderly age since the beginning of 2011. Baby Boomers are the generation who were born between 1946 and 1965 and represent the peak of births rate in the U.S. since 1930. This rapid and sudden increase in seniors’ population has become a serious concern in the United States because of the potential social and economic effects that an increasing elderly population can have on socioeconomic systems. Elderly people have their own specific needs that must be addressed in the coming years.
Review of literature showed that the seniors’ activity-
travel modeling lacks appropriate tools, to deal with the complex nature of activity-
travel behavior. Current studies, mostly, employed conventional analytical tools to study differences between seniors’ and non-seniors’
travel behavior. As a result, the role of actual effective factors in observed
travel behavior is mostly overlooked in the current studies.
This study outlines innovative econometric tool box that will address some of the technical and conceptual hurdles that have challenged past
travel behavior modeling efforts. The tool box developed in this dissertation includes: 1) Mixed copula-based discrete-continuous joint model; 2) Random Regret Minimization versus Random utility Maximization for
travel mode choice; 3) Nested logit model for modeling stop-go behavior of drivers in dilemma zone of a signalized intersection; and 4) Latent segmentation AFT-based model for shopping activity participation. All these models demonstrate the use of advanced behavioral-based modeling approaches for forecasting
travel behavior of seniors at disaggregate individual level.

▼ Saobraćajno inženjerstvo-Planiranje saobraćaja i
saobraćajne infrastrukture / Traffic Engineering-Transport and
Infrastructure Planning
Vremenski uslovi su uglavnom izostavljeni iz
istraživanja o transportnim zahtevima ili su razmatrani na
pojednostavljen način sve do kraja devedesetih godina prošlog veka.
U odnosu na broj radova koji istražuju uticaj vremenskih uslova na
saobraćajnu infrastrukturu, ponašanje vozača i bezbednost
saobraćaja, znatno manji broj radova bavi se uticajem vremenskih
uslova na transportne zahteve. Poslednjih godina uticaj klimatskih
i promena vremenskih uslova, kao strateški važne teme na globalnom
nivou, postaju važne teme i u oblasti planiranja saobraćaja. Upravo
u poslednjih nekoliko godina uočen je veliki porast interesovanja
za istraživanje uticaja vremenskih uslova na karakteristike
transportnih zahteva. Osnovna hipoteza doktorske disertacije jeste
da vremenski uslovi utiču na karakteristike kretanja i da se taj
uticaj može kvantifikovati. U okviru doktorske disertacije
razvijena je metodologija istraživanja uticaja vremenskih uslova na
nastajanje i vidovnu raspodelu putovanja i predstavljen je postupak
modeliranja nastajanja i vidovne raspodele putovanja u različitim
vremenskim uslovima. Metodologija podrazumeva sprovođenje
istraživanja metodom „izjavljenih prilagođavanja“, a ukoliko
rezultati pokažu opravdanost, istraživanja se sprovode i metodom
„izraženih preferencija“, u cilju utvrđivanja realnih promena
karakteristika kretanja u različitim vremenskim uslovima.
Metodologija se oslanja na savremene načine prikupljanja podataka,
za koje se pokazalo da su pouzdani naročito u slučaju ponovljenih
merenja. Razvijeni su modeli uticaja vremenskih uslova na
nastajanje i vidovnu raspodelu putovanja, koji pored uticaja
vremenskih uslova uključuju i socio-ekonomske karakteristike
pojedinca. Razvijena metodologija je testirana na primeru
zaposlenih stanovnika Beograda...

▼ The transportation impact of new land developments on the local communities is reflected in an increase of trip-making activities, related increase in vehicular traffic, and expansion of transportation capacity necessary to serve the growing
travel demand. To better analyze and understand these impacts, they can be classified in three categories: (1) new traffic flows generated directly by the users of a new development; (2) new traffic flows resulting from indirect developments, i.e., additional developments or growth in the local area related to or serving the needs of initial development; and (3) traffic flows induced by the new or improved transportation facilities, including flows associated with induced land developments. Proper assessment of the transportation impacts of new land development is critical in determining the required improvements in transportation infrastructure and other mitigating strategies, equitable allocation of costs associated with the transportation improvements and mitigating strategies, as well as the appropriate policies that serve the desired local and regional urban development goals. The assessment should, therefore, take into account all three components of transportation impact, i.e., direct, indirect, and induced.
The traffic impact assessment methodology developed in dissertation research integrates land use,
travel demand, and transportation network modeling to quantify each component of the traffic impact on the highway network providing access to the new land development. The modeling procedure is accomplished in a iterative process over eight modeling phases, and involves a feedback loop between
travel demand and network model, and the corresponding land use model for a given geographic region. The methodology calculates incremental VMT associated with each component of the transportation impact, and thus can ascertain corresponding transportation costs if the cost of VMT is known. Using the appropriate formula, each cost component (direct, indirect, and induced) can be allocated to either the local community (to be paid from local taxes and development fees) or the regional traveling public (to be paid from regional transportation funds, such as proceeds from the gas tax). The methodology was demonstrated in a case study of a hypothetical land development in a local community and a corollary highway improvement in a medium sized metropolitan area. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted to evaluate response of the modeling procedure to changes in in key input parameters.
The results of the case study reveal that the immediate (short-term) induced traffic impacts are far more significant than the long term impacts, and they increase with the size of the highway capacity expansion. Besides being far less significant than short term impacts, the analysis showed the long-term induced impacts to be consistent regardless of the size of highway capacity expansion, measured as a percent of the overall change in VMT. The case study analysis demonstrated that the…

▼ Whether telecommuting and personal
travel are
complements or substitutes is a key question in urban policy
analysis. Urban planners and policy makers have proposed
telecommuting as part of
travel demand management (TDM) programs to
reduce street and highway congestion. Based on small samples,
several empirical studies have found that telecommuting has a
substitution effect (although small) on conventional commuting, and
have thus argued that policies promoting telecommuting might be
promising in reducing
travel. ❧ Using data from the 2001 and 2009
National Household
Travel Surveys (NHTS), this study involves two
large national samples to try to more accurately identify the
impact of telecommuting on personal and household
travel patterns.
Through a series of empirical tests, this research investigates how
telecommuting influences workers’ one-way commute trips, daily
total work trips and daily non-work trips, how these influences
differ across different MSA sizes, and how telecommuting affects
household commute trips. The results of these tests suggest that
telecommuting has been an important factor in shaping personal and
household
travel patterns over the 2001-2009 period, and that
telecommuting consistently has a complementary effect on not just
workers’ one-way commute trips, daily total work trips and total
non-work trips, but also household total commute
trips.

▼ This research implements an additive
travel cost model
to calculate and compare the perceived cost of commuting by transit
and driving at a disaggregated level. The model uses open source
General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data and “Yay Transit!,”
an ArcGIS tool developed by Melinda Morang and Patrick Stevens of
Esri, to create a transit network for the Washington DC
metropolitan area. Departure sensitive route paths and
travel times
on transit are solved through the Route Tool of the ArcGIS Network
Analyst Extension and compared to
travel data calculated using Waze
for driving between similar origins and destinations. Additional
travel cost components are plugged into additive cost formulas
designed to resemble the mode choice modeling formulas created by
MWCOG (Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments) in order to
compare the perceived cost of one mode over the other. ❧ Results
from this model suggest that taking transit is in general less cost
effective than driving for even some of the most transit
advantageous commutes. Transportation
Demand Management
opportunities to most effectively “balance” the perceived cost of
transit and driving are identified through assessing variable
sensitivity of the additive formula. This research provides a
methodology that could be reproduced in mass in order to gauge the
complex interconnectivity of an urban transportation network. The
author suggests hosting this information in an online tool which
will assist government and the public in understanding the cost
effectiveness of transit versus driving for any given commute
situation.

▼ A tool to model both current rail and future high-speed rail (HSR) corridors has been presented in this work. The model is designed as an addition to the existing TSAM (Transportation System Analysis Model) capabilities of modeling commercial airline and automobile
demand. TSAM is a nationwide county to county multimodal
demand forecasting tool based on the classical four step process. A variation of the Box-Cox logit model is proposed to best capture the characteristic behavior of rail
demand in US. The utility equation uses
travel time and
travel cost as the decision variables for each model. Additionally, a mode specific geographic constant is applied to the rail mode to model the North-East Corridor (NEC). NEC is of peculiar interest in modeling, as it accounts for most of the rail ridership. The coefficients are computed using Genetic Algorithms. A one county to one station assignment is employed for the station choice model. Modifications are made to the station choice model to replicate choices affected by the ease of access via driving and mass transit. The functions for time and cost inputs for the rail system were developed from the AMTRAK website. These changes and calibration coefficients are incorporated in TSAM. The TSAM model is executed for the present and future years and the predictions are discussed. Sensitivity analysis for cost and speed of the predicted HSR is shown. The model shows the market shift for different modes with the introduction of HSR. Limited data presents the most critical hindrance in improving the model further. The current validation process incorporates essential assumptions and approximations for transfer rates, short trip percentages, and access and egress distances. The challenges for the model posed by limited data are discussed in the model.

▼ Transportation planners have long recognized that it is urgent to integrate emerging spatial analysis with
travel behavior studies. A clearer understanding of the spatial interactions among travelers and the complex environment they face has the potential to reap benefits of the ongoing technologies of
travel behavior, spatial analysis and Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS).
Considering that spatial patterns have been overlooked in the literature of
travel behavior and ATIS, the main objective of this research is to use robust methods of spatial analysis to enhance the understanding of how the associations between traveler decisions, built environment and socio-demographic characteristics are organized spatially. This dissertation takes a significant step towards filling this gap by using innovative spatial data description methods, e.g. geo-imputation, dynamic buffer analysis, spatial statistics to model the
travel behavior of both the general population and university students.
This study starts by developing a unique database from extensive behavioral data combined with a variety of spatial measurements, taking advantage ofincreased GIS capabilities. Five different activity-based databases from different regions are used, combined with their related socio-demographic and land use data. Among them are two general population
travel surveys from North Carolina, which were conducted in Charlotte and at the Greater Triangle in 2003 and 2006, respectively. The Virginia Add-on for the general population was conducted in 2008, while two waves of the Virginia University Student
Travel Survey (USTS) were conducted in 2009 and 2010. The general population and the university students are compared with each other in terms of how they traveled and responded to ATIS.
Issues addressed in this dissertation include two aspects. The first one is how to describe data in space more accurately. When there is a need to know the exact locations of residences (geo-coordinate), but such information is unknown, geo-imputation is used as a fundamental method of assigning synthetic locations randomly to these residences based on available zonal information. After locating the residences by using geo-imputation, dynamic buffer analysis is used to capture locally built environment characteristics around residences, which place emphasis on capturing accessibility.
The second issue is modeling
travel behavior in space. Particular emphasis is placed on modeling associations between trip making, trip decision changes and their associated explanatory variables. The general population is compared with the university students who represent an energetic and technology-savvy subgroup of the population. Different spatial scales are used for these two groups: the regional level is used for the general population; the university campus is used as a special trip generator for the university students.
At the regional level, a unique model structure, i.e. Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), is used to…

▼ The main research question addressed in this study is to what extent increases in fuel prices, housing expenditure and public transport usage, and a change in the effect of economic growth on demand can explain the decline in car travel per capita in Australian cities since 2004. It addresses the hypotheses that car travel per capita has decreased because the relationship between economic growth and car travel demand has weakened and car travel has become less affordable. The study presents an econometric analysis of a panel data set of eight Australian capital cities for the period 1982-2014. It first estimates a base model of car travel demand using a fixed effects model with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors. This base model specifies car travel as a function of economic output, fuel prices, housing expenditure, public transport use, vehicle ownership rate and employment as independent variables. Key economic variables are then split into two groups to test if there are differences in the explanatory power of these variables before and after the trend reversal in car travel demand in 2004. The analysis does not find a weakening in the relationship between economic growth and car travel demand and hence this cannot be said to have contributed to declining car travel per capita in Australia. The study finds that decreasing car travel demand in Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra can be explained by an increase in housing expenditure and fuel prices. In Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Darwin, it was driven by these two factors and, in addition, growth in public transport use observed between 2004 and 2014.

▼ Incentive-based
travel demand management strategies are gaining increasing attention as they are generally considered more acceptable by the traveling public and policymakers. There is limited evidence on the impacts of such schemes, and the complex behavioral traits that may affect how individuals respond to incentives aimed at shifting
travel away from peak period driving. This study presents a detailed analysis and modeling effort aimed at understanding how incentives affect traveler choices using data collected from a reward-based scheme conducted in 2006 in The Netherlands. The incentive scheme analyzed in this study gave monetary reward or credits for smartphone thus nudging commuters to avoid peak period driving by alternative time of
travel or mode choice. The mixed panel multinomial logit modeling approach adopted in this study is able to isolate the impacts of incentives on behavioral choices while accounting for variations in such impacts across socio-economic groups that may be due to unobserved individual preferences and constraints. The model also sheds light on the effects of behavioral inertia, where individuals are inclined to continue their past behavior even when it is no longer optimal. Finally, the study offers insights on the extent to which behavioral changes persist after the end of the incentive period. In general, it is found that incentives are effective in changing behavior and can overcome inertial effects; however, individuals largely revert to their original behavior when the rewards are eliminated, thus suggesting that incentives need to be provided for a sustained period to bring about lasting change.

▼ Development of the transit systems around the nation faces limitations in funding and strict scrutiny of the proposed projects and their potential impact on urban environment. Potential ridership of the proposed transit route becomes one of the key indicators for analysis of investment projects. Transit
demand depends on many multifaceted parameters affecting the mode choice of individual commuters. The urban planning as a field faces the
demand in creation of a universal model which would allow to estimate transit
demand of the areas of different scales and geographies, be simple to interpret and to replicate in any conditions.
The research is discussing the process of development of a model able to predict potential transit
demand under provision of a certain level of service based on the socio-economic parameters of the area within walking distance of a transit station. The modeling approach is based on the analysis of real transit ridership of rail stations in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Denver and the parameters possibly contributing to the number of passengers using them. The selection of the variables of the model was based on the most recent research in the field and relied on the multidimensional approach including regional and local scales of socio-economic and transit data. The resulting model included ten independent variables with R2 of 0.59 with multiple statistical tests confirming the assumptions of the model and statistical significance of the results with some limitations in accuracy of predictions.
The project included creation of a GIS and online mapping tools for deeper analysis of interconnections between built environment and transit
demand. The created Transit
Demand Index can be used for the analysis of spatial distribution within metropolitan areas to identify the locations where transit investment would have the most significant outcome. The possible applications of this model include preliminary justification of transit projects, small area plans and corridor studies, long-range transportation plans and implementations in
Travel Demand Modeling software.

▼ Around the world, more and more public transport operators opt for automated fare collection systems by means of smart cards. The data registered by such a system contain valuable information for transport planning. This research aims at increasing the usability of this data for the description of public transport travel demand. Travel demand is generally described by OD matrices, specified by purpose, mode and time-of-day. Accurate stop-based matrices by mode and time-of-day can be derived from the transactions registered by the smart card system. However, smart card data lack information of activity locations (Origins and Destinations), as access and egress legs are not available. Moreover, the travel purpose is unknown, limiting the interpretability of the data. In order to add this information, this research investigates the enrichment of smart card data with information from survey data. Travel survey data do contain all this information, which allows for the estimation of relations between the information to be added and available trip characteristics and land-use characteristics. The relations are presented by three specific (logit) enrichment models for (1) the origin zone allocation (2) the destination zone allocation and (3) the travel purpose inference. These models are projected onto smart card data for the construction of purpose-specific OD matrices. We developed two approaches, based on different representations of travel: a trip-based and a tour-based approach. The resulting OD matrices are compared with the observed matrix of the travel survey, at different levels of spatial resolution, in order to assess the accuracy increase at each level. The results indicate that access and egress legs have a substantial effect on the representation of travel demand in spatial resolutions commonly used in regional and urban transport models. The tour-based approach results in the most accurate construction of purpose-specific OD matrices. This report presents recommendations for model developers regarding further development of this method of data enrichment. Moreover, the report includes recommendations for transport planners and public transport operators regarding the applications of the results.

▼ The main goal of this study was to compare alternative methods of spatial transfer as a function of sample size, and identify the factors affecting the models quality and the impreciseness of the model parameters. In addition, different test measures for studying model transferability were compared and the applicability of the traditional statistical tests, with respect to those based on the prediction accuracy of sample enumeration tests and forecasts, were assessed. The research primarily concerned the transferability of mode and destination models; however, the preciseness of the trip generation level was considered as well. The study was mainly based on the mobility surveys conducted in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area (HMA) in 1995 and in the Turku region in 1997. The transferring procedures examined were Bayesian updating, combined transfer estimation, transfer scaling, and joint context estimation procedures. The trip groups studied were home-based work trips and other home-based trips. The studied modes were walk and bicycle, car and public transport. To explore the impact of sample size on transferring performance, model transferability was tested using three to four different sample sizes. Thus, all the transferability tests were made by using 100 bootstrap samples (resampled from the Turku 1997 dataset) for each trip group, transfer method and sample size category. The results indicated that joint context estimation gives the best prediction performance in almost all cases. In particular, the method is useful if the transfer bias is large or only some of the coefficients are precise. The applicability of joint context estimation can be improved by viewing the coefficients as variable-oriented and emphasizing precise and imprecise coefficients differently. The models transferred by using combined transfer estimation or transfer scaling were most sensitive to the sample size and their use, therefore, requires much larger samples than the Bayesian approach or joint context estimation. In addition, note that due to repeated measurements the results based on the Bayesian method and combined transfer estimation may be strongly biased. When defining the sample size required the fact that defining mode shares precisely may require more observations than the transferring mode and the destination choice models must be taken into account. The results also showed that statistical tests are not able to evaluate the goodness of transferred models with a high enough degree of versatility. For example two models that have totally different values for coefficients may have the same TTS. As a result, their ability to predict the effect of changes in a transportation system may differ greatly. On the whole, the differences between the best transfer methods are, in some cases, rather small, and the errors caused by the factors connected to the modelling and sample size seem to be larger than the errors caused by the model transfer itself.

▼ In single choice modeling, methods like the popular multinomial logit (MNL) are focused on estimating the probability of each alternative to be chosen given specific conditions. This can be very limiting for scenarios where the decision makers consume more than one alternative. Multiple discrete-continuous (MDC) models address this issue by accounting for the allocation of a constrained budget (e.g., money or time) across a set of available alternatives, rather than a binary consumption or not.
The standard approach for MDC models is the Multiple Discrete-Continuous Extreme Value (MDCEV) choice model and is based on a Gumbel distribution for the stochastic component. From a behavioral perspective of the consumers, the positive skewness of a Gumbel distribution does not accurately describe the expected nor observed rational consumption of goods. A negatively skewed distribution for the stochasticity terms describes better the perceived value from the decision makers for the available alternatives.
In the single choice framework, the Exponomial choice has been proved to offer better behavioral and data fitness properties compared to a regular MNL. This work presents the development and properties of the Multiple Discrete-Continuous Exponomial Choice (MDCEC) that holds an elegant closed form for the likelihood function that, unlike the MDCEV, offers easiness of implementation for heteroscedasticity across alternatives.
The ability from MDCEC to retrieve the true value of the parameters is demonstrated using simulated data under a variety of conditions and later, the MDCEC is compared to the MDCEV in an empirical case of activity time use for activity-based
travel demand applications, where the MDCEC approach provides a significant better fit to the empirical data.

▼ Societal and political attention to the effects of climate change and possible mitigation and adaptationpolicies has increased sharply in the last decades, resulting partly from increasing awareness about therole of humanity and partly from the ever more noticeable changes in our world caused by climatechange. This societal interest has highlighted a lack of knowledge about the effects that a changingclimate will have on many aspects of our lifes, one of which is the transport section. To understand theimpact climate change will have on our transport system we need to know how
travel behaviours areaffected by weather circumstances, which is the main topic of our research.We focus on four aspects of the relationship between weather and
travel behaviour: (1) how weatheris taken into account in the decision-making process (2) if the influence of singular weather variables(such as temperature) depend on the value of other parameters (3) if the influence of weather is differentfor urban and rural areas and (4) whether there are groups of people whose response to travelbehaviour are distinctly different from one-another. This knowledge can be used for climate changeadaptation measures, such as ensuring that our supply of
travel infrastructure will be able to copewith changes in
travel demand resulting from a changed climate, and mitigation measures, such asincreasing the number of people that use more sustainable
travel options like the bicycle.For our analyses we use
travel data provided by the KiM Netherlands Institute for Transport PolicyAnalysis, which is the result from a
travel diary survey held in autumn. We use weather data asmeasured by weather stations, provided by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI).This data is used to estimate the influence of weather on
travel demand and mode choice in the Netherlands,using regression and choice models respectively. Within our analyses we try to find factorsthat moderate the relationship between weather and
travel behaviour, such as urban density and sociodemographics.With respect to the four aspects identified above, we report the following findings:(1) that people use a general perception of the weather during the whole day for their mode choicetravel decisions, which contrasts with the most common practice of using the weather at the trips’departure time.(2) by accounting for the fact that meteorological variables always co-occur in our models we areable to more accurately capture its effect on
travel behaviour. The difference with the current practiceof estimating separate effects for each weather variable is particularly stark for days at the extreme endof the observed range of weather variables.(3) The influence of weather on
travel behaviour differs more qualitatively between rural and urbanareas: the total effect size of the weather similar, but they are brought upon by different weathervariables. The difference is also very specific to
travel modes. For bicyclists the effects of wind speedseem to be more sizeable in urban environments, whilst…

▼ Understanding how households make decisions with regards to their vehicle fleet based on their demographics, socio-economic status and travel patterns is critical for managing the financial, economic, social and environmental health of cities.
Vehicle fleets therefore form a component of the Integrated Land Use, Transportation and Environment (ILUTE) modelling system under development at the University of Toronto. ILUTE is a year-by-year agent-based microsimulation model of demographics, land use and economic patterns, vehicle fleet
decisions and travel choices in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
This thesis extends previous work that modelled the quantity, class and vintage of vehicles in ILUTE households. This revised model offers three key improvements: transaction decisions are made sensitive
to travel patterns, fuel costs are better represented, and vehicle purchases are considered in the context of the overall household budgeting. Results are promising, but further model validation is required.
Potential extensions of the research are discussed.

▼ Sustainable land use practices are redefining the urban form, mobility and therefore the transportation planning processes. Regional
travel demand models are not sensitive to variables associated with land use practices at neighborhood level, such as transit-oriented developments (TOD). The first objective of this research is to quantify and compare land-use specific emission footprints at the household level (grams/household) for TOD and Non-TOD areas. Household
travel survey data is used to stratify households into various TOD and Non-TOD zones. A comparison of means for emission footprints between Non-TOD and TOD land uses indicated that Non-TOD emission footprints are much higher than the TOD footprints and the differences are statistically significant. On the other hand, the differences amongst pairs of TODs and pairs of Non-TODs showed no statistical significance.

▼ Travel demand models are important tools used in the analysis of transportation plans, projects, and policies. The modeling results are useful for transportation planners making transportation decisions and for policy makers developing transportation policies. Defining the level of detail (i.e., the number of roads) of the transport network in consistency with the
travel demand model’s zone system is crucial to the accuracy of modeling results. However,
travel demand modelers have not had tools to determine how much detail is needed in a transport network for a
travel demand model. This dissertation seeks to fill this knowledge gap by (1) providing methodology to define an appropriate level of detail for a transport network in a given
travel demand model; (2) implementing this methodology in a
travel demand model in the Baltimore area; and (3) identifying how this methodology improves the modeling accuracy.
All analyses identify the spatial resolution of the transport network has great impacts on the modeling results. For example, when compared to the observed traffic data, a very detailed network underestimates traffic congestion in the Baltimore area, while a network developed by this dissertation provides a more accurate modeling result of the traffic conditions. Through the evaluation of the impacts a new transportation project has on both networks, the differences in their analysis results point out the importance of having an appropriate level of network detail for making improved planning decisions.
The results corroborate a suggested guideline concerning the development of a transport network in consistency with the
travel demand model’s zone system. To conclude this dissertation, limitations are identified in data sources and methodology, based on which a plan of future studies is laid out.

▼ The value of recreation in wilderness areas of US Forest Service lands is estimated using a single-site travel cost model estimated with a Poisson distribution. Visitors are divided into their main activity groups, and ecoregions are
included as covariates in order to observe more details in demand patterns. The results indicate that consumer behavior varies across main activity types and ecoregions. Aggregating over the number of annual US Forest Service Wilderness Area visitors
found by the National Visitor Use Monitoring Program suggests that the annual aggregate value to all visitors is 196,842,000 when opportunity cost is not considered in the model and 605,162,000 when the opportunity cost of time is
included.

▼ With the increased development of new transportation technologies such as autonomous vehicles and ridesharing fleet services comes the possibility of a new mode of transportation: autonomous vehicle ridesharing services (AVRS). The speed, convenience, accessibility, and low cost that AVRS is likely to offer will put it in competition with traditional fixed-route transit services. The effect of this competition is studied through the use of a four-step transportation demand model applied to hypothetical idealized urban networks. Under the assumptions that AVRS will cost 9% less per kilometer than owning and operating a personal automobile, that the AVRS service will have average wait times of 7 minutes, and that transit systems remain as they currently exist, the presence of AVRS in the network leads to an average loss per transit route of 49% of passenger-kilometers. Important transit route properties that correlate with decrease in passenger-kilometers include the passenger-kilometers before the introduction of AVRS and the headway. Additional effects of the introduction of AVRS could include an increase in delay due to congestion, an increase in travel times, and an increase in vehicle-kilometers travelled.

▼ The cost of conducting household travel surveys is increasing, while the response
rate is decreasing, pushing researchers to explore new sources of data that can be
used to estimate travel demand. Among these new data sources is geotagged tweets
from Twitter due to its large quantity of available data and low cost of access. At
the same time, using Twitter for travel demand estimation has garnered criticism
regarding the biases inherent in Twitter data. This thesis uses geotagged tweets
from three regions: Sweden, the Netherlands and São Paulo, to quantify the bias in
Twitter data and develop a novel model that estimates travel demand by de-biasing
the raw Twitter data. The model integrates two natural dimensions of individual
mobility: regularly returning to habitual locations and occasionally exploring
new locations. The proposed model addresses the under-representation of habitual
places such as home and workplace and corrects the geotagging behavioural bias
of overly representing long-distance travel. The model is validated against external
data sources in each of the three regions and it is found to result in significant improvements
over contemporary methods for using Twitter data for travel demand
estimation. The model’s parameters are robust across regions studied, and by using
the parameters found in this thesis one can expect the same improvements compared
to contemporary approaches when applied to other regions.

▼ As US cities continue to accommodate more people and jobs, they have created increasing
travel demands, especially on inter-city commute. Due to the spatial distance among cities and a long tradition of car-oriented lifestyle in the south, cars are the major mode for people traveling to different cities. With emerging papers and reports on building a regional framework for the US mega-region, a sustainable transportation network with various transport options has become a heated topic for state and local transportation agencies. Multiple National Household
Travel Surveys (NHTS) have shown that private vehicles dominated intra- and inter-megaregion
travel in the United States and such
travel pattern will cause further congestion on regional highways and negatively impact passenger and commodity flows in mega-region. An efficient mobility supply for megaregions aims to achieve multi-modality that utilize different modes (automobile, rail, bus, and air) for mega-regional
travel. This report utilizes the National Household
Travel Survey and ACS commuting flow data to explore the
travel patterns of Texans. A mode choice model from National Cooperative Rail Research Program (NCRRP) Report 4 was calibrated to investigate how mode share would change for travelers in the twin-megaregion area that includes the Texas Triangle and western Louisiana. The aggregated findings provide solutions for effective network performance, and the report further discusses the possibilities of modern railway service in the twin megaregion-area. This study starts two case studies where train transit can be effective solutions to transportation supply. Then it explores the traffic corridors in these two states with commuting survey and data. Last, trip generation and mode choice analysis confirm the abundance of rail riders in the future, and the report offers policy suggestions for policymakers to prepare for the potential changes

▼ Activity based models and dynamic traffic assignment models have begun to emerge in the transportation planning industry as an alternative method to the traditional four-step model by more realistically representing trip tours on a finer time scale and depicting the effects of time-dependent traffic flow throughout the network. A barrier, however, for many MPOs across the country to developing ABMs and DTA models is the immense amount of resources required to produce and validate a complete network. Having the capability of using trip tables produced using the four-step model allows MPOs to benefit from the advantages of using a dynamic model while accepting some inaccuracies due to inherent incompatibilities between model methodologies. DTA models have predominately lacked the ability to represent transit apart from pre-specified dwell times, yet current initiatives are focused on developing FAST-TrIPs as a dynamic transit assignment model capable of integrating with DTA software packages to better account for variations in transit ridership. This thesis seeks to act as a guide for MPOs looking to implement existing transit trip tables from a four-step model in conjunction with FAST-TrIPs dynamic transit assignment software to analyze the affects of transit vehicle congestion and schedule reliability at the passenger level. Due to innate assumptions made when modeling transit in the four-step model such as transit schedule and accessibility, modelers must take particular care in characterizing inputs for the dynamic model. Proposals are made related to developing the transit network, processing transit
demand, and creating configuration settings for the model. A case study set in Austin, TX uses the regional transit network and transit
demand to emphasize particular inputs that are susceptible to causing passengers to go unassigned due to the inconsistency of the models while suggesting opportunities to limit such issues. Due to the high variability in current four-step model structures, the goal of this thesis provides readers with the proper knowledge necessary to develop unique processes applicable to their own region.

▼ The purpose of this research project was to evaluate the techniques outlined in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program Technical Report 255 Highway Traffic Data for Urbanized Area Project Planning and Design (NCHRP-255), published in 1982 by the Transportation Research Board. This evaluation was accomplished by using a regional
travel demand forecast model calibrated and validated for the year 1990 and developing a highway forecast for the year 2000. The forecasted volumes along the Capital Beltway (I-495/I-95) portion located in the State of Maryland were compared to observed count data for that same year. A series of statistical measures were used to quantitatively evaluate the benefits of the techniques documented in NCHRP-255.
The primary research objectives were:
·To critically evaluate the ability of a regional
travel demand forecast model to accurately forecast freeway corridor volumes by comparing link forecast volumes to the actual count data.
·To evaluate and determine the significance of post-processing techniques as outlined in NCHRP-255.
The most important lesson learned from this research is that although it was originally written in 1982, NCHRP-255 is still a very valuable resources for supplementing
travel demand forecast model output. The â rawâ model output is not reliable enough to be used directly for highway design, operational analysis, nor alternative or economic evaluations. The
travel demand forecast model is a tool that is just part of the forecasting process. It is not a turn-key operation, and
travel demand forecasts cannot be done without the application of engineering judgment.

▼ Travel demand forecasting and traffic simulation are two important components of transportation studies.
Travel demand forecasting models have typically been used for planning purposes for future transportation systems at a macroscopic level. Traffic simulation tools are often used to account for the movements of individual vehicles at a microscopic level. Traditionally, there has been a disconnection between the macroscopic and microscopic levels. The desire to link
travel demand models and traffic simulation models has been recognized by transportation agencies and professionals.With the advent of computing technologies, transportation agencies are increasingly adopting microscopic traffic simulation models for large-scale design projects to obtain more detailed operational analyses. One critical issue that transportation agencies often encounter is that constructing a microscopic simulation model from scratch still consumes a significant amount of resources. This research aims to develop a conversion method to extract a portion of a
travel demand network in TransCAD for constructing a consistent subarea of interest, and then convert it into a microscopic simulation in Synchro/SimTraffic.TransCAD in nature is a macroscopic
travel demand modeling tool. Synchro/SimTraffic provides detailed microscopic traffic analysis. Dynamic Traffic Assignment models serve as a mesoscopic tool for traffic analysis, which lie between TransCAD and Synchro. To convert a TransCAD model into Synchro for micro-simulation, a cross-resolution simulation method using NeXTA/DTALite as an intermediate tool was adopted. This method develops a DTA model that ensures consistency between TransCAD traffic
demand and Synchro vehicle flow, and allows users to easily define a subarea in the DTA model and convert it to Synchro. The conversion method was tested for its functionality using the TransCAD model maintained by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTCSN). The test application demonstrated the integration of TransCAD, DTA, and Synchro as well as the successful application of converting a TransCAD network to DTA, and a subarea from DTA to Synchro. Results from the case study show significant time savings by using the proposed method compared to traditional manual methods. Major conclusions and some outstanding issues from the research are documented in this thesis. A User’s Manual for the conversion process is also included in the thesis.
