Title: APPROACHES TO THREE HIGHWAY IMPACT PROBLEMS
Accession Number: 00240528
Record Type: Component
Abstract: A REVIEW IS CONDUCTED OF HIGHWAY IMPACT ECONOMIC RESEARCH ON NONUSER BENEFITS. THE RESEARCH IS REVIEWED FROM THE STANDPOINT OF OBJECTIVES, METHODS, AND IMPLICATIONS. THE FOLLOWING STUDY TYPES ARE REVIEWED: (1) CHANGES IN RETAIL BUSINESS STRUCTURE RESULTING FROM IMPROVEMENTS OF HIGHWAY FACILITIES, (2) VARIATIONS IN HOUSEHOLD TRAVEL PATTERNS ASSOCIATED WITH VARIATIONS IN AVAILABLE TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, AND (3) URBAN, INTERURBAN, AND NATIONAL STRUCTURES OF A SERVICE INDUSTRY. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED ON THE IMPACT OF HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS ON SINGLE INDUSTRIES AND ON GROUPS OF INDUSTRIES. STUDIES OF HOUSEHOLD TRAVEL IN RELATION TO HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENTS WHICH CENTERED IN TRAVEL TO RETAIL BUSINESS LOCATION AND CHANGES IN TRAVEL CHARACTERISTICS, WERE OF LIMITED SUCCESS. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT HOUSEHOLD TRAVEL CHARACTERISTICS ARE MUCH MORE COMPLEX THAN THE SIMPLE MODELS USED TO APPROXIMATE TRAVEL CHARACTERISTICS.
