Travel Modelling Group - Documentation and Guides

This guide details an example model system / city to document the usage patterns of XTMF. From start to finish, a 4-step model system will be built using XTMF. An assumption is made that the end-user has access to an Emme installation as it will be required for several steps of this tutorial.
