Long-Distance Business Travel Sample Clauses

Long-Distance Business Travel. It was identified after scenario analyses with FLSWM that long-distance business (LDB) trips were incorrectly limited to approximately 225 miles in distance by LDB gravity model friction factors that have an upper travel time limit of 180 minutes. For short-term improvement that maintains FLSWM’s existing trip-based model structure, two general options are available for correcting the error with LDB trips. First, the friction factors of the existing LDB gravity model can be recalibrated with upper travel time limit longer than 180 minutes. The other option is to replace the LDB gravity model with a destination choice model like the one used for short distance home-based trips. The real challenge with either recalibrating the gravity model or developing a new destination choice model is the lack of appropriate data, because long-distance travel activities are rarely captured in household travel surveys (NASEM, 2017). Currently, only California, Colorado, and Ohio had conducted separate long-distance travel surveys that were used for development of their statewide models (Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 2018). The American Travel Survey, conducted in 1995, is the only nationwide long-distance travel survey in the United States (BTS, 2019). The National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) conducted small-scale add-ons about long-distance travel in 2001 (BTS, 2017). Development and calibration of passenger travel demand models using the NHTS add-on data have been limited by the small sample size (Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx, 2018).‌ In recent years, O-D data derived from cellphone data have been used for various tasks involved in transportation planning (Hard et al, 2016). Prior to 2017, mobile-based O-D products were exclusively derived from cellphone usage records. Information available from a mobile-based O- D matrix ranges from trip origin, destination of trip, trip purposes, home zones, day of the week, time of day, and counts presented in person-trips, extrapolated to represent movement of the entire population (Hard et al, 2016). Table 23 shows an example of mobile-based O-D matrix.‌ Table 23 An Example of Mobile-Based O-D Matrix‌ (Source: Hard et al., 2016) For short term improvement of FLSWM’s long-distance passenger model, it appears that purchasing mobile-based O-D data is the most economical approach for calibrating existing LDB gravity model or developing a new destination choice model. According to Xxxxxxxx (2015), the cost for obtaining these data is relatively inexp...
