Planning and modeling processes at the local, regional, and statewide levels in the State of Florida rely on a wide variety of data sources for their inputs. For example, the various FSUTMS models used in the state and the FIHS Support System utilize an array of input variables that describe the socio-economic, demographic, transportation network, intermodal facility, pavement condition, accident, traffic volume, environmental, and land use characteristics of a region.

This white paper provides a review of the literature and a synthesis of findings regarding the relationship between land use and urban form and the vehicle miles of travel by persons. The paper begins with a conceptual outline of the transportation-land use relationship.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Highway Planning requires states to furnish vehicle classification data as part of the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS). "Scheme F", used by most states to classify vehicles, can also be used to develop the required load spectra.

Over the past few decades, the transportation modeling field has seen rapid and significant development in the application and implementation of new state-of-the-art information technologies that make it possible to simulate travel demand in urban areas in a graphical environment.

Model validation is an important step in travel demand modeling. It serves to ensure that the calibrated model produces outputs that are consistent with the observed data. In the Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS), various consistency checks for the validation of the distribution and assignment models are suggested for highway networks.

There were three main research components to this project. The first component addressed the issue of testing the revisions to the HCM 2000 two-lane highway directional analysis methodology as part of NCHRP 20-7 (task 160) and implementing these revisions into the HIGHPLAN software program.

To assist FDOT with updating the Florida Transportation Plan in coordination with metropolitan planning organization (MPO) planning activities and plans, CUTR was asked to: 1) review and summarize Florida MPO long range transportation plan (LRTP) goals, objectives and planning priorities; 2) assess the status of regional transportation planning products; and 3) document the research method used in 2002 to prepare a 20-year statewide transportation shortfall and discuss the practicality and validity of extrapolating that financial shortfall estimate using data from a small sample of MPOs.
