Abstract:Despite the recent research interest in integrating land use and transportation models inspired by federal legislation, no product had met the data, budget, and personnel constraints faced by the metropolitan planning organizations in Indiana. Consequently, the Indiana Department of Transportation sponsored a study to determine the feasibility of assembling a software package that would capture the relationships between land use and transportation that MPOs need to incorporate in their planning and analysis, while accounting for the current and expected status of Indiana MPO hardware and software capabilities. An Integrated Transportation Land Use Modeling System (ITLUMS) was developed by adapting standard land use models in the literature to the needs of Indiana MPOs. In addition, ITLUMS automates procedures that have been done manually and offers some new methods for key steps in the modeling process. ITLUMS was developed with the close participation of an MPO, whose data were used to calibrate, validate, and test the system. The results were satisfactory enough to justify proceeding to the implementation stage of the project.
