A review of land use model applications in transportation demand forecasting.

This paper investigates the current state-of-practice of land-use model applications to transportation demand forecasting. The overview of application is briefed and the interaction structure between land-use and transportation is discussed. An alternative way to consider the integrated land-use and transportation models is proposed. Four example cases from the UK and US are presented to illustrate the way in which land-use and transportation interactions are modelled in practice. The land-use models used are DRAM/EMPAL, MEPLAN, TRANUS and DELTA. The paper concludes with some emerging situation in land-use transportation modelling, and further study direction.
