Solving traffic congestion problems has long been a major objective of urban transportation studies. Neither construction nor operations management can totally solve congestion problems economically, efficiently, and equitably. Urban congestion problems can be reduced only if better understanding of the long-term interrelationships between land use and transportation is achieved. The Urban Form Optimization System (UFOS) represents an initial attempt to develop a computer-aided design and evaluation tool to aid investigations of interrelationships between land use and transportation. UFOS contains a land use-network editor, an integrated land use-transportation simulation model, an interactive graphic mapping module, and a multicriteria evaluation module. These modules are linked together so they can support an interactive graphic design and evaluation process. To date UFOS has been proven effective in designing and evaluating land use-transportation alternatives in the classroom. UFOS's major functions are described in this paper, and some examples that illustrate its capabilities are provided.
