The Measurement of Urban Travel Demand
It is a truism that the transportation system is a critical component of every urban economy, and that transportation policy decisions can have a profound effect on the development of the urban system. Public transportation projects are often massive and mutually exclusive, with irreversible cumulative effects over long periods. If major social losses are to be avoided, careful planning based o...
متن کاملUnderstanding congested travel in urban areas.
Rapid urbanization and increasing demand for transportation burdens urban road infrastructures. The interplay of number of vehicles and available road capacity on their routes determines the level of congestion. Although approaches to modify demand and capacity exist, the possible limits of congestion alleviation by only modifying route choices have not been systematically studied. Here we coup...

متن کاملAnalysis of the Evolution of Travel Demand in Urban Areas: a Neural-geo-temporal Modelling Approach
Considerable amount of research efforts has been dedicated to conceive forecasting models for predicting urban development and travel demand. Mainly originated from the application of economic theory, urban development models were initially conceived to explain the configuration and evolution of urban structures (Chapin, 1957). According to Ross (1988), these models are used to predict how futu...
متن کاملThe Effects of Urban Spatial Structure on Travel Demand in the United States
We examine the effects of urban form and public transit supply on the commute mode choices and annual vehicle miles traveled (VMTs) of households living in 114 urban areas in 1990. The probability of driving to work is lower the higher are population centrality and rail miles supplied and the lower is road density. Population centrality, jobs-housing balance, city shape, and road density have a...
