Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models: Systems Approaches and Applications for Modeling Transport Alternatives.

摘要

The project objective was to create an integrated regional modeling platform for analysis, planning, and design of sustainable transportation systems. The modeling platform was to optimize transportation issues to other needs for social, natural and build infrastructure. The modeling paradigms were to be systems oriented to allow for transportation issues to be placed in context with the other major issues with which they are interdependent, including land use, energy, economics, environment and quality of life. The model was to be of intermediate complexity to use the results of more detailed modeling projects for calibration and support.
