Abstract:The transportation debate has evolved in recent decades to include ideas such as sustainability and livability alongside mobility and safety. Definitional complexities aside, there is no doubt that this evolution has created a national transportation agenda that is heavy on multi-modal transportation systems. Multi-modal systems can, and should be, more than disconnected auto, train and bicycle networks operating in parallel. A holistic, systemic viewpoint requires that these modes complement each Tech Report as part of an integrated whole. Current network design models and methods of addressing transportation network design problems tend to be unimodal in scope and therefore limited. The plethora of economic, topographic, political, social and environmental variables that play a role in transportation networks have necessitated a reductionist viewpoint, the breaking of the system into more manageable components.
