Forecasting Tool User Manual

The Excel-based forecasting tool allows users to provide a mode choice model along with various skims (in-vehicle travel time, out-of-vehicle travel time, travel distance, and travel cost) in order to calculate the mode share at both the traffic analysis zone (TAZ) level and individual level. It also has the capability of obtaining the mode share given any change in the model explanatory variables—such as in-vehicle travel time, out-of-vehicle travel time, etc.—via the tool’s scenario module. The .zip file contains the Excel-based forecasting tool and the Forecasting Tool User Manual.
