A consistent approach for the design of an urban traffic system, dealing with all the different activities in a city is very difficult. One has to deal with very much information often of a very detailed nature. The big number-crunching capacity of modern computers however, brings the solution of this problem on our hands. The method starts by writing down a "connection priorities matrix". All wanted or needed connections between urban activities are for each mode translated into this matrix. Next these connection priorities are visualised on a graphic computer.
