Model Validation

Model Validation

Customer
SANDAG, Boston MPO, CAMPO, GNRC
Description

A number of MPOs around the country use Replica’s data to update their Travel Demand Model base year data and to validate existing models.

For instance, San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) used Replica’s network link volumes, speeds, and travel time data in developing an ABM3 for their 2025 Regional Plan and CAMPO used Replica to validate their TDM. They relied on OD flows in the Austin MPO six-county region including sub-areas (~30) and external stations (major roads accessing the region).

Congestion Management Process (CMP)

Customer
Capital Region Transportation Council (CRTC), NY
Description

CMP is one of the core planning processes required of all Metropolitan Planning Organizations with jurisdictions of more than 200,000 people. In the 2023 Update to the Capital Region's CMP, CRTC uses Replica's seasonal and weekly mobility data to explain utilization of the region's multimodal transportation system as well as provide work-from-home estimates.

Customer
Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP)
Description

CMAP utilized Replica data to build its Greenhouse Gas Inventory.

Using Replica’s detailed data enabled CMAP to include each of the 77 Chicago Community Areas and 284 municipalities across northeastern Illinois. These local summaries lend new nuance to the traditional county-level inventories that track the region’s progress toward its climate goals.

Replica data was easily customizable to the geographic breakdowns desired by CMAP.
