Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: One promising instrument for reducing car travel is the coordination of land use and infrastructure planning. Traditionally, this coordination has been tried by encouraging high-employment densities near public transportation stations. A more sophisticated strategy is based on the observation that companies generate a mobility of persons and goods that varies with the type of company and, naturally, its location. Companies are classified according to their potential use of public transportation. The land use strategy presented essentially consists of locating companies with a high potential use of public transportation near public transportation facilities, and locating those with a low potential use near highway exits. The results of an empirical investigation into the relationship between the mobility generated by companies (the mobility profiles), the type of company, and the accessibility characteristics of the locations (the accessibility profiles) are presented. These profiles have been elaborated for practical use in regional planning by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research. An overview of the main results of these studies is given: first, a tentative classification of firms is introduced; then, the typology of locations is defined and operationalized. Evaluation and demonstration results of the developed profiles are presented. It is concluded that, with the use of the profiles, more integrated and comprehensive policies for land use and transportation planning can be developed.
