The papers presented in this Record focus primarily on the development of various analytical tools to be used in the transportation planning process. Included are (a) development of a simplified procedure for major thoroughfare planning in small urban areas; (b) evaluation of trip generation models based on household data rather than on zonal aggregate data; (c) examination of the characteristics of travel to outdoor recreational areas in Kentucky; (d) evaluation of models of travel flow from population centers throughout the United States to outdoor recreational areas in Kentucky; (e) simulation of distributed travel flows concentrated on various single-equation models, a cross-classification model, and gravity and intervening opportunity models; (f) discussion of the long-term nature of transportation planning and the need for more explicit procedures; (g) discussion of a technique for estimating air passenger travel demands on a statewide basis; (h) evaluation of mailed planning surveys to obtain survey data for transportation planning purposes; and (i) analysis of the temporal distribution of vehicular traffic in eight U.S. urban areas ranging in population from 100,000 to 350,000.
