Statewide Modeling Practices and Prototype Statewide Model Development for Tennessee

摘要

The primary purposes of this research were to (1) review and evaluate current statewide transportation modeling applications, and (2) develop a prototype statewide transportation model for Tennessee. This report contains six chapters. Chapter I contains an introduction to the research and outlines the intended research contributions. Chapter II provides a detailed literature review of state-of-the-practice methods in intercity and freight forecasting as well as a survey of current practice of the states. Chapter III outlines data required and the data available for the statewide modeling process. Chapter IV contains an explanation and presentation of the parts of the statewide model and their implementation. Chapter V illustrates some of the possible uses of the proposed model. Chapter VI summarized the research, relates the findings and conclusions of the research, and makes recommendations for future research in this field.
