Urban land use and transportation models: A state-of-the-art summary

Abstract

The paper assumes that the general relationship between transportation and land-use may be defined in terms of three primary components: (1) Economic activity (i.e. employment), (2) Demographic activity and (3) Transportation facilities. After a brief introductory section, the second section of the paper contains a review of the state of the art models of economic activity location i.e. intra-urban employment forecasting. The third section of the paper contains a review of the state of the art of models of demographic activity location, i.e. intra-urban population forecasting. The final section of the paper begins with a brief description of urban transportation network models. The section and paper are then concluded with a discussion of possible integrated land-use and transportation model packages.
