• Abstract:
  This study had three goals: (1) To develop a method for reversing the planning process, such that we begin with transportation system usage and conclude with transportation system usage and conclude with an indication of land use; (2) To validate this process by calibrating the model with historical data and then using it to predict the present. To employ the modeling process to determing limits on land development that could arise as a result of constraints on the transportaion infrastructure. That is, if a particular volume of traffic in a zone is generated as a result of the zone's population and employment, how much additional population and employment can the zone accomodate without physical improvements being made to the zone's roadway network?
