TEMS, Inc. / Oliver Wyman February 2008 ii Market Assessment of High Speed Rail Service in the Calgary—Edmonton Corridor Appendices Appendices A Fundamentals of Demand Modeling A.1 COMPASS™ Demand Model The COMPASS™ Model System is a flexible multimodal demand-forecasting tool that provides comparative evaluations of alternative socioeconomic and network scenarios. It also allows input variables to be modified to test the sensitivity of demand to various parameters such as elasticities, values of time, and values of frequency. This section describes in detail the model methodology and process using in the present study. A.1.1 Description of the COMPASS™ Model System The COMPASS™ Model is structured on three principal models: Total Demand Model, Hierarchical Modal Split Model, and Induced Demand Model. For this study, these three models were calibrated separately for two trip purposes, i.e., Business and Other (commuter, personal, and social). Moreover, since the behaviour of short-distance trip making is significantly different from long-distance trip making, the database was segmented by distance, and independent models were calibrated for both long and short-distance trips. For each market segment, the models were calibrated on origin-destination trip data, network characteristics, and base year socioeconomic data.

  • The Employment Impact of Covid-19 on Calgary Neighbourhoods: a Preliminary Assessment
    The Employment Impact of Covid-19 on Calgary Neighbourhoods: A Preliminary Assessment June 2020 Canadian Poverty Institute The Employment Impact of Covid-19 on Calgary Neighbourhoods 1 The Canadian Poverty Institute 150 Ambrose Circle SW Calgary, Alberta T3H 0L5 [email protected] www.povertyinstitute.ca @CndPovertyInst The Employment Impact of Covid-19 on Calgary Neighbourhoods 2 The Employment Impact of Covid-19 on Calgary Neighbourhoods: A Preliminary Assessment The economic shutdown associated with the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in significant job loss across Calgary. Between March and May 2020, employment in Calgary contracted by 76,600 jobs leaving a total of 117,800 workers unemployed. Hardest hit were the Accommodation and Food Services industries that contracted by 41%, followed by Transportation and Warehousing (-18%), Information, Culture and Recreation (-15%) and Wholesale and Retail Trade (-13%).1 Due to their predominance in the industries that were most affected by the shutdown, low- income workers, recent immigrants, visible minorities, women and youth experienced the most severe employment loss.2 Given the different labour force distributions in neighbourhoods across Calgary, the effects of the lockdown are expected to be distributed unevenly across the city. This brief estimates the employment impact of the lockdown on neighbourhoods and urban zones in Calgary. The impacts are analyzed in terms of both the absolute number and percentage of jobs estimated to have been lost in each community and urban zone. Estimated Number of Jobs Lost In terms of total number of jobs estimated to have been lost, the Beltline experienced the greatest impact with an estimated 1,444 jobs lost, a 9% decline in total employment.
