  3. Introduction 3

  4. Statewide Models • Statewide models increasingly common as states struggle with complex transportation issues that must be studied from a system perspective • Portion of travel not modeled directly in MPO models: • 34% of all person miles traveled from long-distance trips (NHTS 2009) • Freight trucks account for 10% of vehicle miles traveled (NTS 2011) • Provide the opportunity to evaluate the entire system in an integrated framework • Results in better understanding of travel behavior across the state • Cover area beyond MPO borders - crucial for future land use development • Help with better planning of transportation services for all modes • More efficient infrastructure planning and management for the • Demand management, supply management, safety, economic development, land-use 4

  5. Statewide Models • Applied for projects ranging from local traffic to multi-state corridor studies. The range of applications include: • Statewide Plan: as a common ingredient to many components of a plan including transportation systems analysis, scenario analysis, economic benefits and environmental analysis. • Local Planning: The model could be used for local planning in the smaller rural communities. • Long Distance Corridors: The integration of long distance travel and freight movements can make the comparison of alternatives in a corridor possible. • Support for local and regional models: the statewide model can be used to find external trips, truck trips and other modes to be used in the smaller model. • Our study will focus on items 3 and 4. 5

  6. UIC’s Project • MPOs across the state have developed sophisticated transportation demand models that are used to determine travel demand • Such models could greatly benefit from more complete long-distance personal travel and truck freight movement data. • Researchers at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) examine statewide long-distance travel and truck freight movement within the state and parts of the larger region that directly impact our state. • “Long Distance Travel” is defined similar to the National Household Travel Survey as those trips that are at least 100 minutes (approximately 75 miles or more). • MPOs can use the model to modify their existing TDM to more accurately depict travel and freight behavior, thus having better information and more efficiently plan or manage transportation system. 6

  7. Current Status of Statewide Modeling • Current status of statewide models (Alan Horowitz) 7

  8. Current Status of Statewide Modeling • Technical approaches used in statewide: • Traffic count and growth factor (e.g. Montana) • Four-step model • Activity- and Tour-based microsimulation model (e.g. Ohio and Oregon) • Cost to develop the model highly depends on the technical approach: • $25,000 for South Carolina to millions of dollars for states of Ohio and Oregon • considerable portion of spent costs and time in tour- and activity-based models goes to data collection efforts • It costs $3,500,000 for Ohio to collect needed data for the being revised model 8

  9. Current Status of Statewide Modeling • Time to develop the model also depends on the technical approach: • 6 months for Traffic count and growth factor model • 8 years for integrated tour-based model • Statewide models are moving toward a more detailed zone systems and networks. • The second generation of Oregon statewide model, called SWIM2, has over 3,000 zones and over 53,000 links and it is while SWIM1 had only 125 zones and 2,000 links. 9

  10. Model Development Through Collaboration • Given the size / scope of this work collaboration necessary • Collaboration on model development: • Argonne National Laboratory computing resources, network editing and simulation software • UIC: freight modeling, activity-based modeling survey implementation • MPOs: network and land-use information, demand model results • Result of this work should be useful to many agencies • IDOT for long distance planning purposes • External and freight trips for local MPO models 10

  11. Current Status of Statewide Modeling • Market Segmentation is crucial to deal with heterogeneity: • Short- and Long-distance trips • Trip purposes • Combination of trip purposes in short- and long-distance trips can be very different • Freight and Passenger 11

  12. Current Status of Statewide Modeling • Threshold distance between long and short distance trips varies from 50 miles (e.g. Oregon) to 100 miles (e.g. California) • Based on the following chart, 75 miles for Chicago and 50 miles for other part of Illinois was selected as the distance threshold Data Source: NHTS 2001 12

  17. Long-Distance Travel Modeling • Simulation of trips over 50/75 miles • Important for statewide planning • Accounts for a significant portion of trips on interstates and state highways • All trips on intercity bus, rail and air • Long distance travel simulated for all residents of Illinois and neighboring counties • Estimated using econometric activity-based model covering all primary modes A World-Class Education, A World-Class City

  18. Long-Distance Travel Model Framework • Primary inputs: • Census data (ACS and 2010 SF1 • TAZ Land use data from MPOs • Congested Network skims • Person and intercept survey results • Five inter-related models • Generation, Distribution, Mode choice connected through logsums. • Conditional time-of-day choice • Population synthesis using PopSyn program developed for CMAP Time of day choice Long-distance Travel

  19. Trip Generation • ZINB count regression models: • Gives annual work/non-work trips • Utilizes logsums from destination choice models • Estimated using weighted person travel survey results • Party size choice model • Ordered logit model for 1, 2, 3+ • Annual trip counts by household then used as input to daily trip realization model

  20. Trip Generation Discussion • Factors associated with higher trip rates: • Males, whites and high-income (all) • More vehicles (all) • More children (non-work trips) • Employment accessibility (work) • Destination log-sum (non-work) • Decreased trip rates: • Larger households (work ) • Cultural accessibility (non-work) • Factors associated with higher zero trips • Low income (work) • Factors associated with lower zero trip probability: • Larger households and households with children (all) • College educated and male (work) • Employed and married individuals (non-work)

  21. Destination Choice Models • Two-level destination choice model: • Region-choice utilizes TAZ choice logsum • 20 regions (including external regions) • TAZ choice in region • Sample of regional TAZs • Uses mode choice logsum for TAZ

  22. Destination Choice TAZ results • Factors increasing TAZ utility: • Increased population and employment • Cultural and recreational opportunities • Nearby employment • Access to university and recreational areas • Higher mode choice logsum • Factors decreasing utility: • Higher surrounding population • Higher zonal average income

  23. Mode Choice Models • Two levels of MNL models: • Main mode choice – depends on access/egress logsums • Access / egress mode choice • Estimated using weighted SP/RP survey data • Modal constants calibrated to observed survey distribution

  24. Time of Day Choice Model • Moving to daily travel model makes TOD component significant • Estimate segmented time-of-day choice for each long distance trip • Implemented using multinomial logit conditional on other choices • Uses data collected from household travel survey 24
