  • Transportation Forecasting Analysis Request Form

  •  

    Special Notice:

    As of May 1, 2025 the CTP MDP Scenario Series, developed in 2015, has been replaced with the "Interim Development Trend Scenario Series" which includes recent (post-covid) updated network & land use assumptions.  This "Interim Development Trend Scenario Series" makes use of the RTM Version 2 revision 1(RTMv2r1) that was re-calibrated using pre-Covid data.

    The new scenario series assumptions and zone map are posted at www.calgary.ca/forecasting

    If you would prefer to use the "old" CTP MDP Scenario Series for your request, please send us an email describing your project rather than completing this form."

  • Please complete this form to request forecasting services. You will receive a confirmation email within one business day which will advise you if additional information or a scoping meeting is required.

    Once we have received all details needed the expected delivery date and cost estimate will be provided. Work will begin only after we receive confirmation that you agree to the scope and cost associated with the analysis. Staff resources for forecasting requests cannot be guaranteed until confirmation is received.

    The fees for forecasting analysis are based on cost recovery of staff time and will vary depending on the scope of analysis. Delivery timelines will vary as well but complete information provided in this form will result in overall faster processing of your request. If you need help completing this form or would like to request a preliminary meeting with Forecasting staff in advance of your request submission please email tranplanforecast@calgary.ca

  • For all Internal City Projects:

    • Forecast request are to be submitted by the City Project Manager (requests from external consultants working on internal projects may not be accepted).
    • Scoping meetings between the City Project Manager and Forecasting are highly recommended and may be mandatory for large projects.
    • Submission of a Project Plan is encouraged and may  be necessary for large project.
    • Cost recovery for staff time and computer resources may be required for internal City projects at the discretion of the Director, Transportation Planning.

  • Analysis Details

  • For more information on the types of analysis Forecasting can provide and for the model assumptions for the current Scenario Series, please visit the Forecasting website.

  • Noise Study

  • The analysis includes: AM & PM peak hour volumes, ADT (average daily traffic) vehicle volumes, truck percentages and medium to heavy truck ratios, road classification, speed limit & truck route designation for the location(s) and time horizon(s) specified below. 

     

    Please note that road class, truck route, and speed limit information are MODEL ASSUMPTIONS. Actual road class, speed limit, truck route information should be verified with Network Planning as there are occasions where the current model assumptions may devaite from actual current road plans.

  • The typical outputs that Forecasting can provide are listed below. If you do not see what you need for your transportation project, please use the 'Additional Details' box at the bottom of this page to describe what you are looking for.

  • Turning Volume Forecast:AM & PM Peak Hour Turning  Volume Forecast for the intersections/interchanges and time horizons specified below & incoming Truck Percentages. Please note, in order to process the TIA request we require recent (less than 1 year old) counts from the requested intersections/interchanges.

  • AM & PM Peak Hour plots (pdf) showing where vehicles are destined for or originating from and what routes they used - associated with a particular zone. Maps showing the transportation zones in the current scenario series can be found here

  • This analysis provides AM & PM Peak Hour plots (pdf) showing the distribution of vehicles trips entering or leaving the given section of roadway or "link".
  • Image field 148

  • The standard analysis provides the percentage of travellers using each mode in the AM Peak Hour, PM Peak Hour, and in the 24 Hour  for a particular transportation zone/ study area. Other time periods could be included upon request (3 hour peak period, midday  ...). Inbound and outbound trips are included. The modes included are walk, bike, transit, high occupancy vehicle - HOV, and single occupant vehicle - SOV. Maps showing the transportation zones in the current scenario series can be found here

  • Image field 96
  • This analysis provides the estimates of future transit demand in a given time horizon. These outputs can show boarding and alighting by station or number of passengers on a transit line/transit segment usually in the form of pdf plots.

  • This analysis provides the matrix tabulating the number of trips for a selected link, zone or study area. The individual transportation zones are usualy combined into a smaller number of zone groups. Maps showing the location, shape and ID numbers of the transportation zones in the current scenario series can be found here

  • The matrix describing the origin and destination locations for all trips within the bounded (study) area -commonly used for weaving analysis.
