Incorporating High Speed Passenger Rail into a Multimodal Network Model for Improved Regional Transportation Planning
http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/nextrans/research/research_in_progress.php
Record Type: UTC

This project will study the interplay of four modes of transportation: auto, commercial air, on-demand air service (ODAS), and rail, with the purpose of reducing travel times for regional intercity trips. Investigators will update their current multimodal transportation analysis model to include high speed passenger rail, while considering transportation policy and economic variables. Shorter doorstep-to-destination travel times could have significant effects on regional economies, demographics, land use, and quality of life, and lead to shifts in business activity.
