Switzerland, 2015-2030

21st Swiss Transport Research Conference (STRC)
13 September 2021
2. • Goal: Forecast number of trips per day for different pairs of trip purposes in 2050
• Motivation: A quantitative approach for trip generation forecasts
• Data:
• Mobility and Transport Microcensus 2015
• Synthetic population calibrated to retrospective data for the reference year 2017
• Forecasted synthetic populations for 2030, 2040 and 2050
• Focus: Home-based trips to work
• Literature: Ordered logit models «are temporally stable and acceptable for
forecasting trip generation» (Huntsinger et al., 2013)

Estimation results, 2015 Green: parameter > 0
Red: parameter < 0
6. Internal validation
• Model estimated on 80% of the data, applied to the remaining 20%
• Average number of home-based trips to work in the random 20%:
• Observed: 0.662 (±0.023)
• Predicted: 0.682 (±0.008)
External validation
• Apply the model to the synthetic population 2017
• Average number of home-based trips to work:
• Observed in the MTMC 2015: 0.658 (±0.008)
• Predicted in the SynPop 2017: 0.632

Internal & external validation of the model
7. • 2015: 0.658 trips from home to work
• 2030: 0.358 trips from home to work
• Executives:
• 2015: 0.655
• 2030: 0.371
• Employees:
• 2015: 0.660
• 2030: 0.354

Application of the model to synthetic population 2030
9. • Predicted number of home-based trips to work clearly too low (expected: max -20%)
• Calibration of the cuts is needed (global or per socio-economic group)
• Adding telecommuting in the forecasting process
• Improvements of the specification of the model
• Possibly use unimodal ordered logit by Melvin Wong?
• Extend the model to other pairs of trip purposes (e.g. home-leisure)
