Abstract

This paper describes work undertaken and sponsored by the Energy Commission to improve transportation energy demand forecasting and policy analysis for California. Two different, but related, modeling systems are presented: the Vehicle Transactions Simulator and the Activity and Mobility Simulator. In addition, the paper discusses some of the important energy issues and analysis that will be addressed in the next few years with the help of these models.
