Abstract: One of the first and most critical steps involved in transportation studies is to determine the traffic zoning scheme. A traffic analysis zone (TAZ) is the main unit of the transportation analysis. In most transportation planning studies, the focus is only on the modeling process, while ignoring aspects such as TAZ definition, configuration, and design. Although the definition of TAZs is one of the key stages in transportation planning studies, a proper approach for the definition is still one of the unsolved issues.
