For most locations within an urban area travel problems--congestion, below standard speeds, etc.--occur mainly in the peak periods and, if the problems of this peak period can be alleviated, total day travel will also be adequate. In the Baltimore region in 1962, 36% of all travel occurred in the four peak hours. These are the hours during which most people must travel to or from their jobs and 58% of all work trips occurred in this period. Thus, most people in making the trip which is most repetative and least subject to personal adjustment, face the worst travel conditions. The objective of this project has been to develop procedures which would allow more accurate examination of peak period conditions, to analyze the effects of alternative land use and transportation schemes on these conditions and to project peak period traffic volumes and levels of service.
