Studies related to travel demand help determine future demands and travel patterns. The efforts needed for regional demand estimation are complex since the same techniques used in the urban context seldom hold. As an alternative, the regional demand could be estimated from the existing urban travel demand which could be used as building blocks. Doing so would affect the accuracy of the estimate which could be constrained to permissible levels so as to ensure the reliability of the regional travel demand estimator. This paper presents four cases and employs optimisation techniques to estimate the production/attraction growth factors utilising the traffic counts on freeways. Numerical example explains the methodology, which holds promise in constructing regional travel pattern from available urban OD matrices thus saving precious time and resources in the planning process. Regional travel demand estimation assists in highway connectivity planning and prioritisation, future demand prediction, etc.
