Abstract:

Integrated land use and transportation models offer a great deal of value in the analysis of the transportation infrastructure alternatives, expenditures on mass transit, transportation policy, and land use policy. These models help cities achieve urban futures that increase the quality of life of residents while assisting local governments in making wise use of government money on infrastructure and transit investment that yield the greatest improvement per dollar spent. They also require a vast amount of dispersed data. This paper presents the development approach the Wasatch Front Regional Council used to develop an integrated land use and transportation forecasting model for the greater Salt Lake City, Utah (USA) area. Detailing the model development process, the specification and estimation of the household and employment location choice submodels, and some initial validation model runs. UrbanSim2 was used as the land use model platform. Cube was used as the travel demand model platform. This project represents one of the first implementations of the UrbanSim2 model structure.
