Abstract:This paper proposes Small Area Estimation (SAE) methods on linked datasets to generate reliable transportation statistics in cases where data on travel behavior is limited or missing. Specifically, household person trips are estimated at the census tract by linking data from the Regional Travel Survey (RTS), the American Community Survey (ACS), and US Census 2020 data. The proposed SAE modeling framework integrates direct and synthetic estimations to produce accurate statistics. Several small area estimation t… Show more
