Abstract
The objective of the current module is to provide a direct and simplified way of estimating velocities for each link of the network of interest. In order to accomplish this, regression modeling is the chosen approach. The main advantage of that choice, in comparison to more advanced and complex demand models (eg four-step travel demand modelling approach, agent-based approaches), is that it can provide a structural equation of the speeds in association with the characteristics that affect the demand for travel but in a significantly less cumbersome way than the aforementioned approaches. The attributes that are used in the regression correspond to only aggregated values where no personal data information can be traced back. More specifically, socio-demographic attributes along with attributes that represent the characteristics of the network are taken into account for that purpose. The objective of the current work is to provide a coherent transport simulation module (regression model) that can be employed within an overall framework of a land-use and transport interaction tool in order to assist a facility location choice analysis.
