Background:
Following the great success of our last three Annual SF Bay Area ITE Transportation Modeling Workshops, with participants gathered from around the world, the San Francisco Bay Area ITE is organizing the Fourth Annual Transportation Modeling Workshop, on April 1, 2011. The theme of this workshop is "Modeling for Sustainable Transportation and Land Use Developments". The objectives of this seminar are to show what innovative transportation modeling tools are available to our engineers and planners in the transportation modeling industry, and how these tools can be applied to transportation planning/engineering projects.
This year, speakers are representatives from the international transportation modeling software development industry, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), San Francisco Transportation Authority, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and many others who will talk about the current modeling development status on climate change evaluation, meso‐scopic modeling, and land use models linked to the transportation models. Some presentations were made at the last TRB conferences or will be presented in the future ITE conferences.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
Urban and Transportation Planners, Demand Forecasting Modelers, Traffic/Transportation Engineers, Consultants, Government Staff, Students.
