Title: INTEGRATED URBAN MODELS FOR SIMULATION OF TRANSIT AND LAND-USE POLICIES
Accession Number: 00767674
Record Type: Monograph
Record URL: Abstract: The objectives of this project were to: define more clearly the impact of transit access on land use; evaluate the access component of existing land-use models; and augment ongoing work by the Travel Model Improvement Program (TMIP), and others, to incorporate transit access into land-use models. Chapter 1 provides an introduction. Chapter 2 discusses the planning context for integrated urban modeling. Chapter 3 summarizes our empirical understanding of land use - transportation (and, in particular, transit) interactions. Together, chapters 2 and 3 provide the basis for defining integrated urban modeling needs and desired capabilities. Chapter 4 then defines an "ideal" integrated urban modeling system which, if developed, should be capable of incorporating our best understanding of transportation - land use interactions and of addressing our planning analysis and forecasting needs. Chapter 5 presents the detailed review of six currently operational models, where these models have been carefully chosen to be representative of the current state of practice. Chapter 6 then details a multi-year research and development program designed to improve significantly our operational integrated modeling capabilities.
