PC Software for Urban Transportation Planning

Abstract

This article reviews nine PC-based urban transportation planning (UTP) software packages, all of which are relatively complex and require significant education, training, and experience to use properly. Inappropriate use of UTP modeling software can result from insufficient training or data, improper model calibration, inappropriate model application, or from the black box syndrome, which often plagues complex modeling efforts. Recent UTP modeling innovations include new developments in the areas of subarea focusing, site impact analysis, the evaluation of travel demand management strategies, the integration of UTP models with geographic information systems, and the integration of land use and activity modeling with the traditional four-step UTP process.
