Agenda
Motivation- why?
Disaggregate COmmercial Model Scope Survey and Segmentation of
Establishments Model Components Calibration results
Motivation
Commercial travel comprises a large share of weekday urban traffic, but has received scant attention from modelers (Regan and Garrido, 2002)– ~11% of overall vehicle trips in the state. – Emphasize on Tour rather than trip– Standard freight models miss short-hauls and multi-
stop deliveries within urban areas– Freight models don’t represent service provision,
sales calls and travel for meetings– Large variation in firm operations
Practical yet realistic approach needed
Scope: What is a Commercial Trip? Intra-urban trips only – up to 50 miles*
– ACOM is an econometric model that simulates Inter-urban trips.
Weekday simulation of a typical 24 hrs* All trip purposes combinations are available Includes goods pickup and delivery, meetings,
business supply acquisition, service provision, sales, driver’s lunch, etc.
Establishment Types Industrial: 4 sub establishments categories
» Agriculture » Construction » Heavy Industry» Other ( Mines, Metal, Light Industrial, etc.)
Wholesale: warehousing and distribution Retail: stores and restaurants Transport: for-hire trucking and delivery Service: 5 sub-establishments types
» Hotel» Health» Government» Education» Other – e.g., banking, consulting
Ohio Establishment Survey
Surveys:– Data on the firm: employees, number who travel for
job, commodities, occupations– One-day activity/travel diaries – Shipment data corresponding to travel diary
Sample:– 561 public and private establishments– 1,640 workers who traveled– 1,951 work-based tours– 9,588 activity/trip records
Ohio Establishment Survey, Cont.
Limitations / Simplifications– No data on intra-establishment relationships– One vehicle per day per employee– Occupations of individuals not identified– No observations for Non-Motorized or Transit
trips– No data on delivery company such as FedEx,
DHL, or UPS

Commercial Tour or not A traveler will do at least 2 trips (First trip+ return
to his establishment)

Day patterns formed through dynamic choice approach
Not a pattern based model Any number of tours and trips is possible Sensitive to accumulated time at multiple
levels: - activity, tour and workday duration
Previous decisions affect future decisions
Trip Purpose Model Multinomial Logit function with 6 alternatives:
1. Good - Distribution/pickup of goods2. Service - Providing Service3. Meeting - Limited to Light / Medium vehicle
– Available only between 07:30-21:30
4. Other- Personal needs (Food, Gas)– Available only between 06:00-22:45
5. Back To Establishment - ends this tour6. Stay in Current Activity - increment times
by 5 minutes, simulates the trip duration
