Title
Triangle Regional Model Update
Leta Huntsinger PhD, PE, Associate Director, ITRE
Body
Dr. Huntsinger will provide a report on the development of the new Triangle Regional Model (TRMG2). The Triangle Regional Model is a state of the practice travel demand model. It uses a series of mathematical equations or algorithms to represent the transportation system and the multi-modal travel choices that people make as they participate in activities.
TRMG2 was approved by the Triangle Regional Model Executive committee in November 2022 to support planning and programming work. TRMG2 is being used to develop the 2050 MTP Amendment #1 and will be included in the adoption action in August 2023.
Dr. Huntsinger will provide an overview of TRMG2, the improvements from the prior TRMv6.2 model, and potential transportation analysis uses beyond MTP support.
Attached is also the TRMG2 Planners Guidebook.
