Travel Modelling Group workshop: Introducing the new Region of York Activity/Travel Demand Model System

Online via MS Teams

York Region developed a new generation of travel demand model, known as activity-based model (ABM). The model simulates daily activities and travel patterns of all individuals in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) area, including York Region, as affected by transportation system level of service. The model was successfully applied to the Official Plan, Transportation Master […]

Sk. Md. Mashrur & Brenden Lavoie present ‘Development of a multimodal network microsimulation model for a regional agent-based travel demand modelling for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA)’

Online via Zoom

Innovative mobility solutions are constantly emerging with the advent of information and communication technologies, offering travellers multidimensional choices including, but not limited to, modes, routes, and locations. Without a fully agent-based and dynamic travel demand microsimulation modelling system, it is impossible to evaluate such emerging mobility solutions/options realistically. The network modelling component is the most […]
