Abstract
Confronted with rapid urban growth in developing cities, it is expected that configurations of transportation network, as well as their operation conditions, could have significant impacts on various aspects of trip-making behavior. Meanwhile, trip-making behavior is one of the most important determinants during the design and management process of transportation network. To properly reflect such interdependency mechanism, this paper first attempts to establish a travel demand prediction model with feedback for the Jabodetabek metropolitan area, Indonesia. Compared to the traditional four-step model without feedback, it is empirically confirmed that introduction of feedback mechanisms could improve the model accuracy a lot. Based on the estimation results of the feedback model, some urban and transport development policies are evaluated from the perspective of realizing environmentally sustainable cities.
