Transportation Modeling Services

WRCOG Transportation and Planning Department administers and distributes the Riverside County Transportation Model (RIVCOM).  Agencies and independent consultants can access the RIVCOM model either through executing a User Agreement and User Fee, or WRCOG can, upon request, provide RIVCOM analysis on a per use basis.

The RIVCOM model is a complex system that analyzes road networks, socio-economic data, driver behavior, and goods movement to predict where traffic flow will occur as the population grows and changes.  While the RIVCOM model covers the entire SCAG region, Riverside County is the focus of analysis and the model data is more disaggregated within the County as opposed to other areas of the region.

The table below outlines the various costs associated with the model.  WRCOG invites all agencies and independent consultants to take advantage of these services on their various transportation planning projects.  Please contact Cameron Brown (cbrown@wrcog.us) to access these services.

Further technical information on the RIVCOM model can be found here.
