Using Historical Data to Measure Transportation Infrastructure Constraints onLand Use

摘要

This study had three goals: (1) To develop a method for reversing the planningprocess, such that we begin with transportation system usage and conclude with transportation system usage and conclude with an indication of land use; (2) To validate this process by calibrating the model with historical data and then using it to predict the present; (3) To employ the modeling process to determine limits on land development that could arise as a result of constraints on the transportation infrastructure. That is, if a particular volume of traffic in a zone is generated as a result of the zone's population and employment, how much additional population and emplopyment can the zone accommodate without physical improvements beging made to the zone's roadway network.
