Forum > Evaluating Outputs > VMT output is the increased or total amount???
We are told that the light vehicle VMT output from RPAT is NOT an increased amount but a total VMT. While testing the base scenario from the RPAT demo, however, it is found the VMT output of the future, 19,141,847, is less than that of base year, 27,244,000. The base secnario is a growth one with increased population and roadway supply. It seems to us this VMT output in RPAT is an increased amount, i.e. delta value, from base year to the future year. By the way, there is no clear statement in the RPAT help doc if it is an increased or total amount.
