Abstract:

Traditionally, neither transportation models nor land use models can effectively describe the complex interactions between transportation and land use. To explore this interaction, this paper uses an integrated model platform, called LandSys-FSUTMS. In the model framework, LandSys produces land use change over the space and time dimensions, allocates land use forecast results in terms of household and employment at the traffic analysis zone (TAZ) level, and feeds these socioeconomic data into FSUTMS. Then, the produced travel time and accessibility index by FSUTMS are fed back into LandSys. To evaluate the effect of land use change on the entire transportation system, the performance of FSUTMS model was compared with and without integrating LandSys. To understand the effects of the existing and future transportation system on land use development, the TAZ-based household/employment allocation results from LandSys are also compared. In the case of Orange County, FL in 2000, 2012 and 2025, five major indicators of transportation networks were used: link saturation in the transportation network, overall vehicle miles traveled (VMT), vehicle hours traveled (VHT), greenhouse gas emission (e.g., CO2, CO, HC, NO), and fuel consumptions. The results show that: the values of five indicators are lower in the integrated model than those predicted by standalone FSUTMS models. In addition, it also shows that the standalone LandSys model produces fewer households and employments in the center of the study area, and more on the edge of the city than that estimated by the integrated model.
