Alonso's General Theory of Movement
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Spatial Interaction Model proposed by Alonso as “Theory of Movements” offers a new specification of spatial origin-destination flow models. Equations for flows between regions, total outflow from and total inflow to a region are linked by balancing factors. The paper presents a consistent formulation of Spatial Interaction Models in the Wilson tradition and Alonso’s General Theory of Movement. It will be demonstrated that Alonso’s model contains Wilson’s Family of Spatial Interaction Models as special cases, but that the reverse is not true. The paper discusses interpretations of the model and analyzes its statistical properties. Several approaches will be discussed which aim to make the meaning of the balancing factors more explicit. The paper shows that simultaneous equation techniques are required to estimate the various relevant parameters. Alonso’s General Theory of Movement: Advances in Spatial Interaction Modeling 1

متن کاملA Study of Pedestrian Movement on Crosswalks Based on Chaos Theory
Walking, as an important transportation mode, plays a large part in urban transportation systems. This mode is of great importance for planners and decision-makers because of its impact on environmental and health aspects of communities. However, this mode is so complex in nature that makes it difficult to study or model. On the other hand, chaos theory studies complex dynamical nonlinear syste...
