Abstract
Conventional traffic models are cost intensive, and they occasionally suffer for not availing true trip-distribution inputs. At the same time, space syntax traffic models are less cost intensive, but they do not typically factor the influence of land use on movement in any systematic way. In this paper, a theoretical rationale has been proposed showing how the influence of land use on movement can be captured through configurational measures of spatial networks. Using the unit-segment approach to modeling vehicular movement networks (a recent development in space syntax transportation research, that offers a fairly strong post-diction of vehicular flows), the paper shows that roadway segments with high configurational measures get polarized in certain areas of an urban structure, where the trip-generation rates of land uses are also high. This new configurational measure of land-use accessibility is termed trip-integration. Conclusions suggest that, using the algorithm of trip-integration, the unit-segment model is expected to produce vehicular travel demands even with higher accuracy than its previous outcomes.
