摘要
By using traffic analysis zones (TAZs), centroids, and a road network as the inputs, traffic demand modeling aggregates trips from the locations of individual tripmakers to TAZ centroids and estimates trips generated between TAZs on the network. Like spatial analysis, traffic demand modeling is subject to the modifiable areal unit problem (MAUP). In this paper we report the findings of a simulation study, which uses eleven zoning structures and two levels of network detail to assess the effects of TAZs, centroids, and network detail on statewide traffic demand modeling in Idaho. First, trips generated between smaller TAZs have shorter trip lengths, higher proportions of interzonal trips, more accurate estimated volume-to-ground-count ratios, and lower percentage root mean square errors (E-RMS) between estimated volumes and ground counts. Second, the effect of centroid locations is mixed and generally slight with small TAZs. Third, the level of network detail impacts E-RMS values in two ways: larger TAZs produce lower E-RMS values than smaller TAZs on the less detailed network, and the detailed network outperforms the less detailed network, regardless of the size of TAZs.
