Title: A BEST PRACTICE TRUCK FLOW ESTIMATION MODEL FOR THE NEW YORK CITY REGION
Abstract: State-of-the-art travel forecasting models are in development for the New York City region. Work has recently concluded on Interim Analysis Models for both person travel and goods movement, and work is now underway to develop Best Practices Models (BPMs). A truck and commercial travel model is part of that effort. At the heart of the BPM truck matrix estimation model is a robust matrix estimation process. It allows great flexibility in both the functional form of the equation used to assess the quality of the solution obtained and the types of data that can be employed. It is coupled to a trip generation and attraction model that estimates total originating and terminating trips by zone and an assignment model that provides multi-path link use probabilities. The BPM model is described as well as its application to the New York City regional network.
