From page 56...
... 56 This chapter is designed to help agencies considering the implementation of an integrated land use/transport model to select the modeling approach best suited for their particular requirements. Section 7.1 summarizes general considerations for developing integrated land use/transport models.
From page 57...
... Choosing a Model 57 Table 7-1. Important factors in selecting an integrated land use/transport model.
From page 58...
... 58 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models Topic Options Implications Motivation No land use Not implementing a land use model is still the most common approach for transportation agencies. In part, this is because most agencies that run transport models are not authorized to do land use planning.
From page 59...
... Choosing a Model 59 Topic Options Implications "side product" of the input-output model used. This might allow for additional model sensitivities, such as a scenario that increases costs for transport of hazardous goods.
From page 60...
... 60 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models Topic Options Implications Developer dependency No land use model None. Sketch planning The case study of TJCOG shows that developer dependency can be avoided once the model has been established in the region.
From page 61...
... Choosing a Model 61 unknown how complete crowdsourcing data are, but many modelers have had good experience using such data instead of conventional data. Some model developers argue that data limitations should not limit the model design.
From page 62...
... 62 Integrated Transportation and Land Use Models spatial input-output models create a distribution of socioeconomic data that is too perfect. Proponents of spatial input-output models argue that discrete choice models are inherently poor at predicting prices, which are a major driver of urban development.
