Thisinterface provides access to custom calculations developed specifically for the City of San Luis Obispo.Scenario and file management is achieved through a scenario management system integrated into thecustom user interface. A basic understanding of the TransCAD software program is required to get themost out of the model. However, users unfamiliar with the software should be able to perform somemodeling tasks with the assistance of this guide.System RequirementsThe model must be run on a computer running Windows XP or Windows 7 and the TransCAD softwareprogram.
