Combining Latent Class Models and GIS Models for Integrated Transport and Land Use Planning - A Case Study Application

摘要

This paper applies and combines Latent Class discrete choice models and GIS models to analyse travel and residential location choice behaviour in a metropolitan rail corridor. The Latent Class models reveal the factors influencing residents' choices and behaviour. The GIS model indicates future travel demand needs and patterns. The combined model demonstrates the complex relationships between travel behaviour, housing preference, socio-demographic and environmental factors and suggests market segmentation for potential travel and housing demands. It provides a case study application of an advanced tool for policy makers in creating efficient integrated transport and land use plans.
