Travel Demand Modeling
Forecasting for transportation improvements
DCCM offers indispensable traffic and ridership forecasts utilizing advanced traffic demand modeling, catering to every phase of project development, from regional analysis to project prioritization. Our expertise in traffic demand modeling allows us to offer comprehensive support for feasibility studies, environmental analysis, project design, operational and economic assessments, and evaluating alternatives. Our travel demand models (TDM) enable decision-makers to comprehend how existing travel patterns evolve as their region grows and measure the transportation benefits of planned projects.
With decades of experience and profound expertise in the development and application of travel demand models for transportation planning, DCCM is renowned as the architect of acclaimed statewide models in Arkansas and Texas. We have pioneered generations of advanced urban models for Metropolitan Planning Organizations, customized to meet their specific needs. Our highly skilled team of travel demand modelers has delivered innovative solutions, including a national long-distance model designed, programmed, calibrated, and delivered in just nine months.
This experience allows DCCM to provide immediate value and results to any traffic demand modeling needs you may have, whether developing additional model components or applying a current TDM to test policy initiatives or growth scenarios.
