Hi Penelope, I just wanted to share with you (and the broader community) about an ongoing project with RSG and Data Perspectives. We are in the process of updating our current bike logsum model. I have attached a brief literature review of recent route choice models we have been looking into. These take into account routes/paths that would potentially use new bike facilities (by class) and improve logsum (and bike mode share). In our current mode choice model, bike utility is influenced by household income and person age. We have conducted a household travel survey recently and will probably look [...]

Dear TMIP Colleagues, The Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) has released a new Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) for consultant services to develop an Activity-Based Model (ABM). The RFSQ is available here: https://wfrc.utah.gov/contact/request-for-proposals/. The goal of this project is to enhance the Wasatch Front Travel Demand Model’s ability to represent increasingly complex travel behavior and choices to reflect new modes, peak spreading, evolving land use dynamics, and potential policy changes such as road usage fees and transit fare options. The RFSQ builds on a framework study completed with RSG, which outlined potential approaches and considerations for ABM development in the region (see https://wfrc.utah.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WFRC-Activity-Based-Model-Implementation-Framework-20250221.pdf). WFRC and our transportation agency partners anticipate implementing the ABM using the ActivitySim platform, but proposers may suggest alternatives with appropriate justification. Submissions will be accepted through 12:00 PM MDT on November 6, 2025. We’re excited about this project and hope it will be of interest to many of you. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,   Nous avons récemment publié un ouvrage en français sur la prévision du trafic pour les routes à péage. Cet ouvrage s’adresse en priorité au milieu financier (prêteurs et investisseurs) et pourra donc sembler d’un intérêt limité pour les professionnels chevronnés de la modélisation. Il pourrait toutefois intéresser vos clients, les membres juniors de vos équipes, des étudiants ou encore des personnes dont l’expertise se situe dans d’autres domaines.   Le prix de vente est de 29,95 $, mais, pendant une période limitée, nous distribuons la version PDF gratuitement aux abonnés du TMIP. Si vous souhaitez en obtenir un exemplaire, merci de me contacter directement à l’adresse suivante : [log in to unmask] Des exemplaires imprimés (à vendre) sont également disponibles.   Bien cordialement,   -----------------------------------------------   Hi fellow subscribers   We have recently published a short book in French about traffic forecasting – specifically for toll roads. The book is aimed at the financial community (lenders and investors) so maybe of limited interest to seasoned modelling professionals. However it may be of interest to your clients, junior members of staff, students or folks whose expertise lies elsewhere.   The book retails at $29.95 but, for a short time, we are distributing the PDF version to TMIP subscribers free of charge. Please reply to me directly at [log in to unmask] if you would like a copy.

Posting on behalf of Rob Schiffer of Metro Analytics: The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Planning, Environment, and Realty is undertaking research to develop a broad framework for applying different analytical approaches in support of transportation planning and decision-making. This effort seeks to develop adaptive processes in support of a more agile transportation programming and planning process. Understanding that there is no single tool to conduct planning, these processes should apply to a complete range of study types including, but not limited to freight, access management, ITS, LRTPs, congestion management, land use, and safety planning. The research team undertaking this project would like your input regarding the following questions:: (1) Where did you get your assumptions? (2) How do you come to a consensus on assumptions? (3) Where do you get your data and how do you verify its accuracy? (4) Why are you not incorporating other data sources? (5) Are there additional data types or sources that would be helpful, yet are still out of reach? (6) What are some important data sources you use that need improvement and how? If you can participate in this process by engaging in either an interview or listening session with the research team, it will greatly enhance FHWA's ability to identify analytical needs and build institutional capacity to aid decision making in your organization. You may be contacted directly by the research team regarding this effort. If you wish to participate or desire any further information, please contact the principal investigator Rob Schiffer ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and copy Stephanie Marks ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) or feel free to reach out directly to the FHWA Project Manager ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
