Abstract

An integrated model of transportation and land use is developed for the purpose of evaluating alternative community master plans. Equilibrium route assignment is combined with the conventional four-stage transportation model to calculate the overall economic benefits of alternative urban planning decisions. Problems of measuring benefits associated with elastic trip demand and demand shifts are also examined. The model is used to evaluate planning alternatives for a 7,500-acre suburban community. It is especially adapted to the problem of evaluating a subcommunity within the context of a larger metropolitan area. Equilibrium route assignment provides as efficient low-cost method of determining route flows and the cost implications of various road networks and land use decisions.
