Book Forecasting Travel in Urban America

Download or read book Forecasting Travel in Urban America written by Konstantinos Chatzis and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of urban travel demand modeling (UTDM) and its enormous influence on American life from the 1920s to the present. For better and worse, the automobile has been an integral part of the American way of life for decades. Its ascendance would have been far less spectacular, however, had engineers and planners not devised urban travel demand modeling (UTDM). This book tells the story of this irreplaceable engineering tool that has helped cities accommodate continuous rise in traffic from the 1950s on. Beginning with UTDM’s origins as a method to help plan new infrastructure, Konstantinos Chatzis follows its trajectory through new generations of models that helped make optimal use of existing capacity and examines related policy instruments, including the recent use of intelligent transportation systems. Chatzis investigates these models as evolving entities involving humans and nonhumans that were shaped through a specific production process. In surveying the various generations of UTDM, he delves into various means of production (from tabulating machines to software packages) and travel survey methods (from personal interviews to GPS tracking devices and smartphones) used to obtain critical information. He also looks at the individuals who have collectively built a distinct UTDM social world by displaying specialized knowledge, developing specific skills, and performing various tasks and functions, and by communicating, interacting, and even competing with one another. Original and refreshingly accessible, Forecasting Travel in Urban America offers the first detailed history behind the thinkers and processes that impact the lives of millions of city dwellers every day.

Book Forecasting Techniques for Urban and Regional Planning

Download or read book Forecasting Techniques for Urban and Regional Planning written by Brian Field and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1987, Forecasting Techniques for Urban and Regional Planning is an introduction to the various analytical techniques which have been developed and applied in urban and regional analysis in planning practice. The subjects covered are population, housing, employment, transport, shopping, recreation, and integrated forecasting. Each technique, placed in the context of policy formulation and political matters, is presented both verbally and mathematically, and it separating characteristic is illustrated with detailed but simple practical examples. The techniques examined are set in a policy context and their practical limitations are identified.

Book Traffic Equilibrium Methods

Download or read book Traffic Equilibrium Methods written by M.A. Florian and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest in the mathematical modeling of transportation systems stems from the need to predict how people might make use of new or improved transport infrastruc ture in order to evaluate the benefit of the required investments. To this end it is necessary to build models of the demand for transportation and models that de termine the way in which people who travel use the transportation network. If such models may be constructed and their validity reasonably assured, then the predic tion of the traffic flows on future and present transportation links may be carried out by simulating future situations and then evaluating the potential benefits of alternative improvement projects. In the attempts that were made to construct mathematical models of transportation networks, the notion of equilibrium plays a central role. Suppose that the demand for transportation, that is, the number of trips that occur between the - rious origins and destinations is known. Then it is necessary to determine how these trips are attracted to the alternative routes available between origins and destinations. Knight (1924), gave a simple and intuitively clear description of the behaviour of road traffic under conditions of congestion.

This book was released on 1962 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paper 1: A summary is given of some of the basic interrelationships between cities, people, and their transportation requirements and it is shown present trends in travel and development affect demands and potentials for public and private transportation. Paper 3: Because of the growing importance and influence of the work of the urban planner with its attendant impact on the development of highway transportation systems and consequently on the work of the highway engineer, the State Highway Commission of Wisconsin, in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin and the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads undertook a study and evaluation of local highway system planning in Wisconsin. Paper 4: A brief review of the geographic concepts that are applicable to urban transportation research. Paper 5: A summary is given of the results of a study of current principles and techniques for predicting the present and future demand for urban area transportation, often referred to as traffic estimation and assignment.
