Abstract

The study presents a new Land Use – Transport Interaction (LUTI) planning model to provide an effective decision support system tool for the Urban Planning Administrations and to promote the use of the public transport system in urban areas.The idea is to relocate a subset of activities from urban zones with strong attraction, but poorly connected by the existing mass transit system, to urban zones close to the existing mass transit links with available residual capacity. This residual capacity is the main variable that indicates location and intensity of activities to be moved.The model has been applied for the real case study of the city of Rome in Italy. Results demonstrated the capability of the model to be a useful support system to suggest activities relocation pursuing the goal of sustainability for a short-term horizon.
