Abstract
Taipei Rapid Transit system (TRTS-4S) is developed based on the framework
and database of TRTS-IV to account for the developments in newly-developed
areas. The survey data in 2009 was used as the baseline for TRTS-IV. Since
then, the socio-economic characteristics of some new areas, such as Neihu
District and Linkou District have considerably changed. Moreover, the MRT
network and its business model have also changed over time, which may cause
considerable errors in demand forecasting. Therefore, a project was launched
to review and make adjustments of parameters to enhance the forecast
capabilities of TRTS-IV, or the formulation of the new TRTS-4S model. This
article describes the new features and upgrades in the TRTS-4S model for
Taipei Metropolitan Area.
Keywords: transport demand forecasting model, TRTS, Taipei Metropolitan Area
