The papers contained in this volume focus on the applications of modeling techniques to various aspects of transportation. One paper discusses the applications of a travel forecasting model to transit system applications. Other papers discuss modeling of travel demand to analyze the effects of new transportation policies on travel patterns and modeling of travel behavior for various aspects of transportation control measures. Also included are a simulation for evaluating performance of emerging response fleets, a model for vehicle sizing for bus transit networks, a model for forecasting transit ridership based on the Seattle experience, and a control model addressing the dynamic freeway control process. The final paper presents a discussion of the potential of implementing multimodel planning and programming.
