Samenvatting
Congestion on roads leading to and within popular scenic areas has prompted research into mathematical models of recreational traffic. These techniques are intended to provide better information for the design of road improvements, traffic management schemes and facilities for outdoor recreation. In this report existing modelling techniques which conform to the established structure of trip generation, trip distribution and traffic assignment are reviewed. Direct demand modelling and systems simulation are also explored as alternatives. Discussion of the alternative structures for a recreational traffic model and recommendations for further research are given in the concluding section. (Author/publisher)
