From page 45...
... 45 The third common model type (spatial input-output models) is based on economic theory and assumes that demand and supply are at equilibrium.
From page 46...
... 46 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models maximizes the utility of all households, given a certain price structure. At the same time, prices are maximized for sellers (or landlords)
From page 47...
... Spatial Input-Output Land Use Models 47 for the land use/transport interactions. DRAM/EMPAL was a useful tool during those years, but today's models are more theoretically rigorous and powerful.
From page 48...
... 48 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models Land by the Metropolitan Council. These forecasts were adjusted based on community comments and were then used by the communities in their comprehensive plans.
From page 49...
... Spatial Input-Output Land Use Models 49 allocations have improved the reasonability of model output. Figure 6-3 shows the flow diagram of the PECAS model implementation for ARC.
From page 50...
... 50 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models consulting fees for almost 3 years of support were US$ 247,000. At the Metropolitan Council, the land use model is not hosted by the transport department but by researchers in Community Development.
From page 51...
... Spatial Input-Output Land Use Models 51 Metropolitan Council The Metropolitan Council has fully integrated their CUBE Land model with their fourstep transportation model. For integrated model runs, the transportation model was simplified (called internally the abridged transportation model)
From page 52...
... 52 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models even though TOD policies may have limited effect systemwide. Decisionmakers generally found results of the integrated model more realistic than output from the transportation model only.
From page 53...
... Spatial Input-Output Land Use Models 53 For those MPOs maintaining their own models, the socioeconomic data match the data of the statewide model at the county level, but not necessarily at the zonal level. Upper management at Ohio DOT trusts the modeling group to the same extent as reported by ARC.
From page 54...
... 54 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models transport projects affected growth and urban development. Staff members were hesitant to specify how much the forecasts actually influenced policy decisions.
From page 55...
... Spatial Input-Output Land Use Models 55 takes time to develop. For ARC, 3 years seemed reasonable to budget for the initial model implementation.
