Keywords: transportation system, holistic, entity-centric abstraction, agent-based model

Introduced is an approach to the conception and modeling of the national transportation system. The approach is underpinned by an entity-centric abstraction framework that, when instantiated with an agent-based model, can admit diverse future scenarios. The model was calibrated on the US transportation system data and the results are presented.
