UPlan: A Versatile Urban Growth Model for Transportation Planning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review urban models useful in transportation planning, focusing especially on ones that are based on geographic information systems (GIS) software. We then describe UPlan, a simple model written by us in the ArcView GIS. Several different applications of UPlan are outlined, involving transportation planning and the analysis of the growthinducing effects of new facilitites, to demonstrate its use. Such models are coming into use for NEPA assessments and for joint land use and transportation planning.
