Transportation Zones (TZ) are the basic geographic unit used to simulate travel behaviour in the Calgary Regional Transportation Model (RTM). They are used to organize the input and output data for a forecast scenario.
The Regional Transportation Model (RTM) is a computer simulation of the city and surrounding region. This file contains the road network assumptions for the 2015 Scenario from the 2015 CTP/MDP Scenario Series. This series is a time series of future forecasts that are used in transportation planning analysis. The series contains five horizons from 2015 to 2076 and includes roads classified as collector and above and does not include local roads. his data is a representation, not an exact replica, of the road network and is intended to represent the road network that Calgary Region residents may experience provided the anticipated changes in infrastructure and land use occur.
