Transportation Modeling

Transportation modeling is the process of creating mathematical representations of transportation systems to understand and predict how people and goods move. It helps planners assess traffic patterns, design efficient routes, and evaluate the impact of changes like new roads or public transit options. By analyzing data on travel behavior, land use, and infrastructure, transportation models enable decision-makers to make informed choices that enhance mobility, reduce congestion, and improve safety while considering economic and environmental factors. Essentially, it’s a tool for planning better transportation systems for communities.
