The result is a detailed set of estimates, for each calendar quarter and annual average for:
Each estimate is derived by first estimating demand for each travel type at the block group level using a set of 39 factors. Demand is allocated to available supply at the block group level using a distance-decay based location-allocation model, with particular concern for ensuring that actual capacity is not exceeded.
