Regional Travel Demand Overview
Total daily person trips across the MTP24 horizon years
This view summarizes travel demand (trip volume) from the activity-based model. Roadway performance metrics such as speed are not part of the current model outputs.
Total Trip Volume by Horizon Year
All modes combined. Hover a point for the mode breakdown.
Note: The 2020 scenario reflects a pre-pandemic model configuration, not observed travel conditions during the pandemic. Keep this in mind when comparing 2020 to the other horizon years.
Scenario Auto Transit Walk/Bike School Bus Total
Trip Volume by Time Period
Average trips per hour within each standard travel-model time period (Early AM, AM Peak, Midday, PM Peak, Evening), from the ABM trip list (depart_period). Periods span different lengths (Midday is 6 hours, PM Peak is 4), so rate - not raw period total - is what's comparable.
Note: School bus trips are included in these totals. School bus departures are tightly concentrated around 7 AM (school bell times), which adds a sharp spike that skews the region's daily peak toward the AM period rather than the PM period.
Note: Truck and commercial vehicle volumes are not computed by hour in this ABM - the network model only outputs them as daily totals - so they are not included in these totals.
Trip Volume by Time of Day
Trip departures by half-hour period, from the ABM trip list (depart_period), across all MTP24 horizon years.
Note: School bus trips are included in these totals. School bus departures are tightly concentrated around 7 AM (school bell times), which adds a sharp spike that skews the region's daily peak toward the AM period rather than the PM period.
Note: Truck and commercial vehicle volumes are not computed by hour in this ABM - the network model only outputs them as daily totals - so they are not included in these totals.
Hour Auto Transit Walk/Bike School Bus Total
Auto Vehicle Trips by Time of Day
Vehicle trips (not riders), by hour of day, across all MTP24 horizon years. Derived from the ABM trip list by collapsing carpool rows sharing the same household, tour, time, and origin/destination back to one vehicle. Transit and school bus vehicle counts aren't in this data, so this view is Auto only (drive-alone, carpool, and TNC).
Note: Truck and commercial vehicle volumes are not computed by hour in this ABM - the network model only outputs them as daily totals - so they are not included here. This view is passenger vehicles only (drive-alone, carpool, TNC).
