Transport travel demand simulation model development for mixed-use building

Abstract

Transport travel demand models allow one to estimate future traffic changes after the changes in the functionality of a building object has been made and to identify the potential bottlenecks of transport system. The paper contains a use case on transport travel demand model development based on decision tree algorithms and simulation methods. Decision tree algorithm that has flexible structures suitable for representing the relationships between the categories of transportation modes and do not require any knowledge about the initial specific model data structure was used in transportation mode choice. Transport travel demand simulation model was developed for mixed-use building in the area of Hanzas Street (Riga city, Latvia).
