Impressions
1. Theme: Integrating dynamic demand & supply
2. Small and large MPOs are moving farther apart
3. More MPOs now have (and are developing) activity based models
4. Policies that drive this are time of day pricing and land use policies related to green house gases

Some Ideas I Thought Were Interesting
1. Agile software development techniques applied to models – start simple then add components, but always have a working model
2. Writing applications for the iPhone to collect data on bicycle use

More Detail
• SHRP2 C10 project is under way� A “partnership to develop an integrated,
advanced travel demand model”
� Will integrate SACSIM with DynusT
� Software to be implemented in a web browser
� Project has a web site to track: http://www.shrp2c10.org

Some Insights
1. Day to day variation in travel is greater than variation between households – Brian Gregor
2. If a supply model passes impedances back to the demand model, even in small time slices, it is a feedback model not a dynamic model – Mark Bradley
3. Advanced choice techniques still focus on estimation year fidelity, not forecasting –Frank Koppelman

More Insights
4. If you break an optimization problem into pieces you will never get as good a fit as you will jointly estimating the model –Frank Koppelman
5. Primary application of DTA is operations, not forecasting – Hani Mahmasani
6. If you assume a single value of time then you will over estimate the response to congestion pricing – Hani Mahmasani
