Introduction
 Travel demand forecasting model process is the important of urban
transportation planning.
 Travel models exist to provide information about future traffic projects,
programs, and policies for decision makers.
 Decision – making process ,several computer-based and manual tools have been
developed. Congestion and delay information for community.
 Implementing the four- steps urban planning process -
Trip Generation, Trip Distribution, Mode Split, and Traffic Assignment.
 MODAL SPLIT:
 The travel mode, which may be by private automobile, public transportation,
walking, bicycling, or other means.
 Origin and destination are split into trips using transit, trips by car pool or as
automobile passengers and trips by automobile drivers.

 “Utility" or disutility of travel between two points for the different modes that are
available.
A utility function measures the degree of satisfaction that people derive from
their choices.
Disutility is a term used to represent a combination of the travel time, cost and
convenience of a mode between an origin and a destination.
conclusion
 The four-step forecasting model is extremely useful in determining or assuming
how to handle the traffic system.
 Travel demand control, employer-based trip reduction services, pedestrian and
cycling programs, and land use policies are all things that should be seriously
considered or there would be no progress.
 If this data is out-of-date, incomplete or inaccurate, the results will be poor no
matter how good the models are.
 One of the most effective ways of improving model accuracy and value is to have
a good basis of recent data to use to calibrate the models and to provide for
checks of their accuracy.
