The Triangle Regional Model Service Bureau (TRM) provides a variety of travel demand forecasting services to our stakeholder agencies using the Triangle Regional Demand Model. The stakeholder agencies include:
- North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
- Triangle Transit (formerly Triangle Transit Authority [TTA])
- Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO)
- Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC-MPO)
The model is a predictive model that can be used to forecast automobile, transit, commercial vehicle, and non-motorized travel given a set of population and economic forecasts. The model can analyze peak characteristics or daily trends and is used for system-wide transportation analysis and air quality emissions testing related to the regional transportation plans. The primary purpose of the TRM Service Bureau is to maintain, update, provide training, facilitate and conduct research related to the model.
