An asynchronous co-evolution: The spatiotemporal dynamics of rail transit and urban structure in the Munich Metropolitan Area (1975–2020)
Do Highways Induce Sprawl? Coming to Grips with the Land Use Impacts of Road Projects
MoPeD meets Mito: A hybrid modeling framework for pedestrian travel demand
Transport demand models were initially designed for simulating car trips. Nowadays researchers and planners are considering pedestrian travel and its health and safety impacts in the regional transport models. However, the existing transport models lack the knowledge and experience in pedestrian modeling for health assessment. This paper contributes to the modeling practice by developing an integrated model called the MITO/MoPeD. The model builds…
Impact of autonomous vehicles on household relocation: An agent-based simulation
The agent-based land use/transport model SILO/MITO/MATSim is adapted to simulate the impact of AVs on household relocation. The revised model accounts for the fact that households who own conventional cars are sensitive to parking availability at their dwelling. As AVs could park themselves anywhere, this sensitivity to parking is reduced for households who own AVs. Distance to work, which serves as a hard constraint for household relocation with…
Agent-Based Simulation of Long-Distance Travel: Strategies to Reduce CO2 Emissions from Passenger Aviation
Every sector needs to minimize GHG emissions to limit climate change. Emissions from transport, however, have remained mostly unchanged over the past thirty years. In particular, air travel for short-haul flights is a significant contributor to transport emissions. This article identifies factors that influence the demand for domestic air travel. An agent-based model was implemented for domestic travel in Germany to test policies that could be im…
Microscopic activity sequence generation: A multiple correspondence analysis to explain travel behavior based on socio-demographic person attributes
Activity sequencing is a crucial component of disaggregate modeling approaches. This paper presents a methodology to analyse and predict activity sequence patterns for persons based on their socio-demographic attributes. The model is developed using household travel survey data from Germany. The presented method proposes an efficient approach to replace complex activity-scheduling modules in activity-based models. First, the paper describes a mul…
Modeling Sustainability Scenarios in the Baltimore–Washington (DC) Region: Implications for Methodology and Policy
Problem, research strategy, and findings: Planners today are confronted with unprecedented uncertainty in economic, political, and technological environments, especially at the regional scale. An increasingly common approach to addressing such uncertainty is exploratory scenario analysis. To provide new insights into the methods and utility of such analyses, we conducted a scenario analysis of the Baltimore (MD)–Washington (DC) region by engaging…
Defining the resolution of a network for transportation analyses: A new methodology and algorithm
Travel demand models are important tools used in the analysis of transportation plans, projects, and policies. Defining the level of detail (i.e. the number of roads) of the transport network in consistency with the travel demand model’s zone system is crucial for the accuracy of model results. All analyses found in the literature show that the spatial resolution of the transport network has great impact on the model results. If the zone system i…
Impact of bicycle highways on commuter mode choice: A scenario analysis
The Dutch concept of ‘bicycle highways’ is increasingly being adopted by urban planners owing to rising environmental and health consciousness, and the growing popularity of electric bicycles. Bicycle highways differ from other types of cycling infrastructure in that they avoid intersections with motorised traffic, and are wide enough to allow for safe overtaking, thereby increasing cycling speeds. While many studies investigate the feasibility o…
The end of travel time matrices: Individual travel times in integrated land use/transport models
To reduce inaccuracies due to insufficient spatial resolution of models, it has been suggested to use smaller raster cells instead of larger zones. Increasing the number of zones, however, increases the size of a matrix to store travel times, called skim tables in transport modeling. Those become difficult to create, to store and to read, while most of the origin-destination pairs are calculated and stored but never used. At the same time, such a…
Integration of land use, land cover, transportation, and environmental impact models: Expanding scenario analysis with multiple modules
It is an expensive and time-consuming task to develop a new model. Furthermore, a single model often cannot provide answers required for complex decision making based on multiple criteria. Coupling models are often applied to make use of existing models and analyze complex policy questions. This paper provides an overview of possible model integration approaches, briefly explains the modules that were integrated in a particular application, and f…
Transit-Induced Gentrification: Who Will Stay, and Who Will Go?
Transit-oriented development (TOD) has been promoted by planners and policy advocates as a solution to a variety of urban problems, including automobile traffic congestion, air pollution, and urban poverty. Since the enhanced accessibility offered by transit proximity is often capitalized into land and housing prices, many express concern that new transit investments will result in the displacement of the low-income populations likely to benefit …
