Transportation forecasting
Transportation forecasting is the attempt of estimating the number of vehicles or people that will use a specific transportation facility in the future. For instance, a forecast may estimate the number of vehicles on a planned road or bridge, the ridership on a railway line, the number of passengers visiting an airport, or the number of ships calling on a seaport. Traffic forecasting begins with the collection of data on current traffic. This traffic data is combined with other known data, such as population, employment, trip rates, travel costs, etc.
Trip distribution
Trip distribution (or destination choice or zonal interchange analysis) is the second component (after trip generation, but before mode choice and route assignment) in the traditional four-step transportation forecasting model. This step matches tripmakers’ origins and destinations to develop a “trip table”, a matrix that displays the number of trips going from each origin to each destination. Historically, this component has been the least developed component of the transportation planning model.
Choix modal
Le choix modal est le choix qu'effectuent les voyageurs, ou les personnes responsables du transport de marchandises, sur le mode utilisé pour effectuer un trajet entre deux points. Lorsqu'une modification des conditions de transport intervient sur le mode habituellement utilisé par ces voyageurs ou marchandises, ou qu'une amélioration d'un mode concurrent intervient, un phénomène de report modal (ou transfert modal) peut intervenir. L'analyse du choix modal est utilisée dans la planification des infrastructures de transport.
Route assignment
Route assignment, route choice, or traffic assignment concerns the selection of routes (alternatively called paths) between origins and destinations in transportation networks. It is the fourth step in the conventional transportation forecasting model, following trip generation, trip distribution, and mode choice. The zonal interchange analysis of trip distribution provides origin-destination trip tables. Mode choice analysis tells which travelers will use which mode.
Ingénierie des transports
vignette| L'ingénierie de ce rond-point à Bristol, en Angleterre, tente de faire circuler le trafic librement. L'ingénierie des transports est l'application de principes technologiques et scientifiques à la planification, la conception, l'exploitation et la gestion des installations destinés aux moyens de transport afin de garantir la sécurité, l'efficacité, la rapidité, le confort, la commodité du transport de personnes et de marchandises. Parmi les sous-disciplines de l'ingénierie des transports on peut citer l'ingénierie ferroviaire et l'ingénierie marine.
