April 28, 2016: 8th Annul SF Bay Area ITE Modeling Workshop

Big Data and Transportation Modeling

Register Now!

The San Francisco Bay Area ITE Section will offer a one-day workshop on transportation modeling technologies.

Following the great success of our last seven Annual SF Bay Area ITE Transportation Modeling Workshops, with participants gathered from around the world, the San Francisco Bay Area ITE is organizing the 8th Annual Transportation Modeling Workshop on April 28, 2016. The theme of this workshop is "Big Data and Transportation Modeling". The objectives of this seminar is to show what innovative transportation modeling tools are available to our engineers and planners in the transportation modeling industry, and how these tools can be applied to transportation planning/engineering projects.

This year, speakers are representatives from the international transportation modeling software development and ITS industries, ITE SB 743 Task Forces, MTC, SFCTA, and many others who will talk about the current modeling development status, meso-scopic modeling, land use models linked to the transportation models, traffic control systems and the traffic data collection technologies. Some presentations were made at the last TRB conference or will be presented in future ITE conferences.

The application areas may include:

1. California SB 743 and the CEQA Guidelines
2. Land use modeling systems
3. Greenhouse gas reduction
4. Travel demand forecasting methodologies
5. Highway operations with meso and microsimulations
6. Adaptive traffic control and ITS applications
7. Modeling connected vehicles 
8. Transit operations
9. Data collections technologies
10. Integration methodologies linking planning, design, control and management

Real applications from around the world, as well as from California, will be featured in this workshop.
