Synthesis of a future year population is a critical first step in generating travel demand forecasts.
UTTRI’s Travel Modelling Group (TMG) hosted “Workshop: Population Synthesis Methods for the GTHA” on December 9, 2020. This workshop presented a new population synthesis procedure, named MetroPop, developed for use in the GTHA through the collaborative effort of Metrolinx, IBI Group and TMG.
The workshop was the latest in an ongoing series of workshops held by TMG to advance operational travel demand modelling methods in the GTHA and beyond.
The free online workshop was open to all. The workshop agenda is available here.
Founding Research Director of TMG, UTTRI Director Professor Eric Miller, shares his presentation file below.
