Summary
For better and worse, the automobile has been an integral part of the American way of life for decades. Its ascendance would have been far less spectacular, however, had engineers and planners not devised urban travel demand modeling (UTDM). This book tells the story of this irreplaceable engineering tool that has helped cities accommodate continuous rise in traffic from the 1950s on. Beginning with UTDM’s origins as a method to help plan new infrastructure, Konstantinos Chatzis follows its t…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This text represents an outstanding research effort.”—Choice Reviews“Forecasting Travel in Urban America represents an important contribution to the history of the—often little-noticed—foundations of mobility.”—Technology and Culture“Chatzis’s text is a well-documented resource for students and modelers looking to find ways to make an impact in the field. As society faces multiple grand challenges of growing frequency and severity across social, environmental, economic, and public health domains, Chatzis’s chronological history of the development of transportation demand models reveals both new and age-old challenges in modeling people’s behavior and responses to changes in the transportation system and land development.”—Journal of the American Planning Association
