El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling Motivation: Conventional TDM approach treats POEs as “simple” external stations Yet, POEs usually handle more travel than inland access facilities

El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling Motivation: Conventional TDM approach treats POEs as “simple” external stations Yet, POEs usually handle more travel than inland access facilities Mode choice on POEs tends to be highly sensitive to inspection delay …these special conditions suggest more careful modeling of POEs
El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling Joint Research objectives Develop a TDM to characterize transborder commuter travel (extend boundaries, eliminate external stations at POEs) • Bi-national setting • Sensitive to land-use & transportation infrastructure • Sensitive to crossing delay Test TDM on different scenarios
El Paso-Juarez Border integration Historical cooperation MPO-IMIP on Regional Modeling • IMIP applies initial transborder travel surveys (1996) • ICRC/MPO/IMIP develop TTDM • Transborder BRT evaluated with TTDM (2004) • IMIP is updating Juarez demographics for the MPO • IMIP is conducting new series of transborder travel surveys on MX side (spring 2007) • MPO will conduct new series of transborder travel surveys on US side (fall 2007) • In 2007 new POEs will be evaluated

To be improved by intruduction of POE micro-simulation El Paso-Juarez Border integration The regional model (TTDM component) • 4-step sequential logic • 24hr assignment
El Paso-Juarez Border integration Travel surveys • POE intercept questionnaires • Brief design

El Paso-Juarez Border integration Conclusions • The TTDM significantly improves POE forecast accuracy, with a multimodal dimension. • The TTDM is sensitive to POE delay (mode choice and POE choice now…trip choice after 2007). • POE intercept questionnaires are a cost-effective survey instrument for a TTDM. • Current census data fields can be used to develop a TTDM (US Census and INEGI variables). • Bi-national cooperation is a must
