User Guide for Air Force Base Automotive Transportation Simulation Model -BATS. Volume I. Data Collection and Reduction.

Abstract

This user guide describes the collection and preparation of information required by the Base Automotive Transportation Simulation (BATS) computer model. The BATS model predicts traffic volumes on an Air Force installation's roadway network using land-use, transportation and demographic data. The data collection procedure is presented in a step-by-step format with information sources clearly identified. The data collection procedure is divided into discrete tasks so that the information can be collected at different time periods. A master check-list enables a supervisor to efficiently manage the data collection tasks for the personnel available. The entire data reduction and encoding procedure to create a BATS input computer card deck is also explained. (Author)
