Development of an Urban Peak-Hour Traffic Model Based on the 1970 Census and Concurrent Ground Counts, Phase II

摘要

The application of the 1970 Census Urban Transportation Planning Package (UTPP) for the development of a peak hour model was attempted. A peak hour model as a function of the UTPP file was not developed. The major reason for not developing a model was that the research methodology is highly dependent on other sources of data and models. It is argued that the research effort was unsuccessful because of the reliance on other data sources especially the need for origin destination information from a survey. An additional effort in this research was to impact and to evaluate transportation related questions in the 1980 Census instrument.
