Caltrans District 7 manages the highway system of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. As part of their responsibilities, the agency needs to generate planning reports. One such report is the transportation concept report (TCR). It is route specific and needs to be updated periodically. Data for these reports are generated using a network and travel demand model. In the past Caltrans used an in-developed model. However in responseto changing resource availability and the need for better collaboration with other regional agencies, Caltrans decided to use a model that had been developed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Caltrans found itself struggling to effectively use the SCAG model. Caltrans had long developed modeling and reporting practices around its original model. In this research effort, we helped Caltrans by studying their procedures and recommending possible changes. We also developed a tool which could facilitate the translation of SCAG's results to Caltrans' immediate needs. |
