A method for calibrating a combined model of travel choices for the Chicago, Illinois, region is described and illustrated. This model and its simultaneous calibration method seek to ensure that travel choices are represented consistently, thereby offering an operational method for implementing and solving the four-step travel forecasting procedure with feedback.
