Regionomics offers unique expertise in
travel demand forecasting. Dr Haider, Dr. Mohammadian, and Dr.
Lord have focused on various aspects of travel demand forecasting.
Dr. Haider specializes in land use modeling. His work has
focused on creating the interfaces between land use and travel demand
models. In addition, he is developing new methods to represent
space in the traditional travel demand models.
Dr. Mohammadian specializes in
auto-ownership levels and their impact on travel demand. He has
developed innovative solutions to forecast travel demand while
controlling for the level of automobile ownership at the household
levels. Dr. Lord has developed techniques to incorporate traffic
safety in the traditional travel demand models. Dr. Lord has
received numerous awards for his innovations in the analysis of road
safety and traffic engineering.

Regionomics' associates are involved
in developing the state of the art integrated land use
transportation models, which adds to the capabilities of the
traditional four-stage transportation models the richness and
behavioral fidelity of land use models. This approach
creates an interface between the current econometric models and
the emerging microsimulation based models.
