Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe and apply a comprehensive framework to derive optimal and acceptable land use and transport strategies. The framework includes a constrained optimisation algorithm that approximates and maximises an objective function with respect to available land use and transport instruments and constraints. We apply the framework to Greater Oslo based on output from a land use and transport model for this area (RETRO). Available instruments are toll ring charges, public transport frequency and a discrete land use instrument. Constraints represent acceptable levels on the available instruments, and acceptable levels on equity between geographical zones, accident cost reductions and the financial balance of the actual strategy. Strategies are found in situations with increased and reduced fuel taxes, and the direct and indirect land use and transport effects of the optimal strategies are assessed.
