A functional integrated land use-transportation model for analyzing transportation impacts in the Maryland-Washington, DC Region

A functional integrated land use-transportation model for analyzing transportation impacts in the Maryland-Washington, DC Region

The Maryland-Washington, DC region has been experiencing significant land-use changes and changes in local and regional travel patterns due to increasing growth and sprawl. The region’s highway and transit networks regularly experience severe congestion levels. Before proceeding with plans to build new transportation infrastructure to address this expanding demand for travel, a critical questio...

Alternative Futures for Transportation and Land Use – Integrated Models

Since completing a " Trend-Delphi " based regional forecast and transportation plan in 1996, Metro has developed an integrated transportation and land use model (Metroscope). We are presently using the model to explore several regional growth management options as well as produce a new regional forecast and transportation plan. Comparing our Metroscope results to our previous forecast reveals t...

Lifestyle clusters for labor force participation, occupation and housing use in integrated land use and transportation modeling Abstract: The California statewide integrated land use and transportation modeling

The California statewide integrated land use and transportation modeling has being developed using the PECAS framework. This paper focus on two goals: a) presenting a framework for identifying household lifestyle clusters, and b) applying them to a spatial economic model system. A household's lifestyle is defined by two sets of dimensions: space use and household wage. Using a two-step clusteri...
