  1. TRB Innovations in Travel Modeling ConferenceThe Path to a Staged Implementation of Integrated ModelsMay 22, 2006

  2. Key Areas of Implementation Performance • Outreach • Support for Program: internal and external • Strong Implementation Program • Models

  3. Outreach • Gain clear understanding of needs of decision makers • Develop tool with needs in mind • Seek opportunities to use models to address decision makers’ questions • Making connections with decision makers will generate seeds of support later

  4. Support • Internal support is crucial • External support is useful • Data collection

  5. Strong Implementation Program • Choose projects wisely • Develop skilled staff • Use models efficiently, automate • Develop effective communication skills • Use common language and terminology • Educate audience • Relate findings in real world terms • Tell a logical story, intuitively make sense • Identify trade-offs and economic impacts

  6. Key criteria Flexible geographic scale Truly integrated components Hybrid formulation Dynamic activities Static economy Activity-based models Agent-based micro-simulation “Tight consistency” Affordable and tractable Statewide Integrated Model Goals • Full integration • Explicit representation of economy, land use, and transport • Linkages to environ-mental analyses and performance indicators • Build on lessons learned from first generation • Connect with metropolitan modeling framework

  7. Economic and demographic (ED) Production allocation and activity interaction (PI) Household allocation (HA) Land development (LD) Person travel (PT) Commercial travel (CT) Transportation supply (TS) Utilities ED HA LD PI PT CT TS Transitional Model Structure Spatial activity Transport Aggregate Microsimulation

  8. Metroscope • Connection of economic, real estate, and transport models for the Portland metropolitan area • Regional econometric model • Residential real estate model • Nonresidential real estate model • Transportation model • GIS accounting and visualization • Used for long-range land use and transportation studies

  9. Land Use Scenario DevelopeR (LUSDR) • Stochastic microsimulation of household and business location • Connects to standard Oregon metropolitan models (JEMnR) and Oregon small urban models (OSUM) • Develops land use scenarios for risk analysis and land use and transportation policy testing • Is being used in small metropolitan area long-range planning study

  10. So, you want to develop an integrated model?

  11. Institutional Build internal support Build external support Identify issues and questions of interest Statewide collaboration, build bridges to other agencies Invest in staff Oregon Advice on Integrated Modeling

  12. Technical Think big, start small Prototypes Building blocks Simplest thing that can possibly work Short development cycles Design integration with other models & data systems at outset Design user interface first, models second Early applications Build good communications skills for technical staff Oregon Advice on Integrated Modeling
