MADITUC (Modèle d'Analyse Désagrégée des Itinéraires de Transport Urbain Collectif), the model, has beendevelopped under direction of professor Robert CHAPLEAU, Civil Engineering Department of École Polytechnique de Montréal. MADITUC allow transit corporations to use a totally disaggregate approach to analyze and evaluate many transportation projects.
MADITUC, the group, is involved in numerous technical projects in Greater Montreal Region- Ministère des Transports du Québec for transportation infrastructure planning, Communauté Urbaine de Montréal planning service for urban goods transportation, Montreal Urban Transit Commission for transit planning, O-D survey data analyzing and corporate information system. The group also has other important partners: the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), the Winnipêg Transit Departement (WTD), the Montreal South Shore Transit Commission, the City of Laval Transit Commission and the Quebec Urban Transit Commission.
The MADITUC group has also developped an analysis expertise in transportation demand evolution using chronological data available from household O-D surveys made in Montréal (1974, 1978, 1982, 1987) and Québec (1977, 1981, 1986). Then, socio-demographics trends have been shown: population aging,urban spreading, women at work, transit use decline, etc.
Initialy limited to supply analysis and transit network simulation, last years works have extended to transportation planning at large. Projects concerns transit network operation, spatially-referenced information system, infrastructures, networks, demand estimation, surveys coding and validation, goods movements, transportation in developping countries, etc.
