Development of a Methodology to Predict Through-Trip Rates for Small Communities
Publication: Journal of Urban Planning and Development

Abstract
This paper examines a new methodology to predict external trip exchanges in small urban communities. The paper documents a study performed on several small communities in Alabama and includes a video surveillance data collection methodology, data analysis, model development, and test versus existing models. The new model presented in this paper is shown to provide more accurate results when compared to existing models and demonstrated transferability to a similar city.
