An integrated framework for managing the complex interdependence between infrastructures and the socioeconomic environment
In this study, we introduce an integrated framework for managing the complex interdependence between urban infrastructures and the socioeconomic environment within which it evolves, in pursuit of sustainable and environmentally cleaner urban living. The framework addresses the nature of individual preferences for more sustainable urban infrastructures, and how we can use this knowledge to improve urban form in ways that reduce environmental impac…
Market potential for smart growth neighbourhoods in the USA
With data from a 2011 National Association of Realtors community preference survey, we examined individuals’ preferences and the resulting market potential for smart growth neighbourhoods in the USA. Using a latent class choice model, we discovered four classes of individuals that reveal distinctive behaviours when choosing smart growth neighbourhoods, based on the interplay between aspects of community design, socioeconomic characteristics and p…
The geography of metropolitan carbon footprints
The world's metropolitan carbon footprints have distinct geographies that are not well understood or recognized in debates about climate change, partly because data on greenhouse gas emissions is so inadequate. This article describes the results of the most comprehensive assessment of carbon footprints for major American metropolitan areas available to date, focusing on residential and transportation carbon emissions for the largest 100 metropoli…
Mitigating Climate Change through Green Buildings and Smart Growth
Energy-efficient buildings are seen by climate change experts as one of the least-cost approaches to mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This paper summarizes a study carried out for the Pew Center on Global Climate Change that takes a broader look at the potential role of a climate-friendly built environment including not only considerations of how buildings are constructed and used, but also how they interface with the electric grid and where …
Rural Transit Systems Benefits in Tennessee
This paper describes the application of a detailed benefits assessment framework and sensitivity analysis of the operation of rural public transit services in the state of Tennessee. The paper describes the major components of this benefits framework and its application to the demand-responsive services operated within the state during the 1998/99 fiscal year. An empirical analysis yields a benefit/cost ratio greater than 1.0, with benefits domin…
A Study of the Potential for Cooperation Between Models and Modelers
Modeling is discussed with reference to applications undertaken by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Topics treated include strategies for linking models, software tools and techniques, and problems and opportunities arising from collaborative modeling. Keywords: modeling, simulation, computing, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, collaborative work

Temporal versus other impacts upon trip distribution model parameter values
Southworth F. (1983) Temporal versus other impacts upon trip distribution model parameter values, Reg. Studies 17, 41–47. The change in trip distribution model travel impedence parameters, as a result of temporal changes in average in-vehicle travel times, are compared with parameter differences due to non-temporal disaggregations by trip purpose, income group and residence location. Goodness-of-fit tests on models using 1962 and 1971 Greater Lon…

Spatial structure and parameter disaggregation in trip distribution models
Southworth F. (1979) Spatial structure and parameter disaggregation in trip distribution models, Reg. Studies 13, 381–394. A production-constrained entropy-maximizing trip distribution model is calibrated for a variety of trip purposes and income groups. Parameter disaggregation is extended further to incorporate origin-specific travel time—decay functions. A likelihood technique is used to quantify the relative magnitude of differences in model …
Quasi-Dynamic Urban-Location Models with Endogenously Determined Travel Costs
A quasi-dynamic model of residential and job location is fused with the equilibrium trip-assignment model in the manner suggested by the combined model of trip distribution and assignment. The implications of this combined model for assumptions about future levels of interaction are examined. Extensions of the model to include explicit housing stocks and prices and the determination of residential- and job-location attractiveness are considered
A Highly Disaggregated Modal-Split Model-Some Tests
This paper investigates the usefulness of parameter disaggregation within a logistic modal-split model. Changes in parameter values caused by different origin-location and household characteristics are compared with parameter changes due to slight alterations to the model's structure. This spatial and sectoral parameter disaggregation scheme is used to link a modal-split model with a previously developed trip-distribution model at the same level …
