Various travel simulation techniques are used to estimate possible traffic scenarios. It's been used to analyze road capability, transportation system developments, and new land use strategies and policies. The solution to travel decisions is generally obtained if the models are done in sequence. Many attempts are made to simulate the variety of choices made by travellers as a part of a response to a particular highway system, related transit system, and connected policies. For this purpose number of assumptions are considered regarding the decisions made by the people, factors considered by them, and their reaction as a response to the alternatives available in the transportation system. Generally, the process of travel simulation follows trip generating at the trip generation zone and moves through different links of the network and nodes. It ultimately ends at the trip attraction zone. The simulation method is known as Traditional Four Steps Transportation Modeling, and it includes the four basic models namely Trip Generation, Trip Distribution, Mode Choice, and Traffic Assignments. This paper it is tried to focus on the process of this traditional four-step transportation modeling system. The modeling method calculates a simplified transportation network from the city of Ulhasnagar, India.

INTRODUCTION Passenger transportation is vital to the city's operation, and transportation is the backbone of urban management. One of the most important factors is transit planning and infrastructure growth, which is particularly important in major metropolitan areas with a high and rapid population growth [1]. It is essential to have a clear understanding of current travel patterns in order to identify and represent a
