An integrated land-use/transportation forecasting and planning model: A metropolitan planning support system

Over the last several decades, land-use/transport interaction models have evolved. Although these potential to become primary demographic forecasting and planning vehicles in metropolitan transportation for most large US urban regions, some gaps improvements must be addressed. This paper briefly discusses a newly developed refined integrated land-use/transportation model. It also introduces innovative approaches modeling an area including variant of geographic information system-based land-use environmental suitability analysis, as main components deriving development small-cell grid study region. approach enables inclusion public stakeholder input into process, facilitates micro-level consideration trip generation, distribution, mode-choice inside model, thus furthering integration land use process. Such considerations utilization rule-based concerns economic sustainability factors help close existing operational designed real world practical applications. All features contribute toward further improvement models.
