Abstract

Rather than using conventional trip generation, distribution and modal split models, this paper proposes that household travel surveys can be directly used to model the effects of travel demand on a road network. The culmination of this work is a working software tool, RoadLink, that implements a variety of path-finding, artificial intelligence and equilibration techniques to translate the survey information into network flows, travel times, and routes. The results of the RoadLink model are compared with existing traffic counts and survey data and found to be promising predictors of demand on road networks.
