This dataset is based on the outputs from SCAG’s 2012 Regional Model and shows the arrival locations and densities of PEVs during peak morning hours. Using surveys of household travel behavior, SCAG’s travel demand model estimates the number of trips from home to work, school, and other destinations by time of day. The morning peak period represents weekday trips that occur between 6 and 9 a.m. (i.e., commutes to work) and the mid-day period represents weekday trips that occur between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (i.e., trips to run errands). The model does not distinguish commuting patterns by vehicle type, so it is assumed that the commuting patterns of PEVs are the same as those of conventional vehicles. The data on PEV registrations comes from automotive data vendor IHS Automotive, which provided the number of PEVs registered as new within each 2010 Census tract from December 2010 through September 2016. It is important to note that these morning peak and mid-day destination TAZs receive vehicles from outside the COG. |
