Book Synopsis Development of a New Process for Determining Design Year Traffic Demands by : Neal R. Hawkins
Download or read book Development of a New Process for Determining Design Year Traffic Demands written by Neal R. Hawkins and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We as researchers should continuously ask how to improve the models we rely on to make financial decisions in terms of the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of roadways. This project presents an alternative tool that will supplement local decision making but maintain a full appreciation of the complexity and sophistication of today's regional model and local traffic impact study methodologies. This alternative method is tailored to the desires of local agencies, which requested a better, faster, and easier way to evaluate land uses and their impact on future traffic demands at the sub-area or project corridor levels. A particular emphasis was placed on scenario planning for currently undeveloped areas. The scenario planning tool was developed using actual land use and roadway information for the communities of Johnston and West Des Moines, Iowa. Both communities used the output from this process to make regular decisions regarding infrastructure investment, design, and land use planning. The City of Johnston case study included forecasting future traffic for the western portion of the city within a 2,600-acre area, which included 42 intersections. The City of West Des Moines case study included forecasting future traffic for the city's western growth area covering over 30,000 acres and 331 intersections. Both studies included forecasting a.m. and p.m. peak-hour traffic volumes based upon a variety of different land use scenarios. Both studies included forecasting a.m. and p.m. peak-hour traffic volumes based upon a variety of different land use scenarios. The tool developed took GIS-based parcel and roadway information, converted the data into a graphical spreadsheet tool, allowed the user to conduct trip generation, distribution, and assignment, and then to automatically convert the data into a Synchro roadway network which allows for capacity analysis and visualization. The operational delay outputs were converted back into GIS thematic format for contrast and further scenario planning. This project has laid the groundwork for improving both planning and civil transportation decision making at the sub-regional, super-project level.
Book Synopsis A Method for Assessing Transportation Impacts of New Land Developments Using Integrated Land Use and Transportation Network Modeling by : Branislav Dimitrijevic
Download or read book A Method for Assessing Transportation Impacts of New Land Developments Using Integrated Land Use and Transportation Network Modeling written by Branislav Dimitrijevic and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of the case study reveal that the immediate (short-term) induced traffic impacts are far more significant than the long term impacts, and they increase with the size of the highway capacity expansion. Besides being far less significant than short term impacts, the analysis showed the long-term induced impacts to be consistent regardless of the size of highway capacity expansion, measured as a percent of the overall change in VMT. The case study analysis demonstrated that the methodology can be a useful tool for quantifying direct, indirect, and induced traffic impacts of land development, as well as allocation of responsibilities for underlying transportation system improvements. The elasticities calculated as part of the sensitivity analysis can provide a guide in evaluating expected increase of VMT due to direct, indirect, short- and long-term induced impacts.
Book Synopsis Current Practices for Assessing Economic Development Impacts from Transportation Investments by : Glen Weisbrod
Download or read book Current Practices for Assessing Economic Development Impacts from Transportation Investments written by Glen Weisbrod and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2000 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to DOT administrators, supervisors, and staff, as well as to the consultants working with them in assessing the economic development impacts of existing or proposed transportation investments. Metropolitan Planning Organization regional and local staffs might also find it informative. It is intended to help practicing planners become aware of the range of methods and analysis techniques available, organized by the different categories of agency needs, to address different types of planning, policy, and research needs. This synthesis summarizes the current state of the practice by means of a survey of transportation planning agencies in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This report provides reviews of the analysis methods used in recent project and program evaluation reports of these agencies, in addition to a bibliography of economic literature and guides.

Book Synopsis Accessibility, Land Use and Transport by : Karst Geurs
Download or read book Accessibility, Land Use and Transport written by Karst Geurs and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can accessibility be defined? How useful are different accessibility approaches in evaluating land-use and transport policy strategies? How can the economic benefits associated with accessibility changes be measured? What are the accessibility benefits of having a public transport service available as a transport option for unexpected future use? How can the land-use, transport and accessibility impacts of Dutch compact urbanisation policies implemented in the last decades be measured? The research presented in this thesis seeks to answer these and related questions. Results suggest that current practices in evaluating accessibility in the Netherlands can be improved using geographical accessibility measures within an integrated land-use/transport perspective. Another major outcome is formed by the possible significant benefits associated with option use of public transport services in addition to use and non-use benefits traditionally included in transport policy appraisal. Residents in the service area of regional railway links seemed to be willing to pay significant amounts for the continued availability of the railway links for unexpected future use. Dutch compact urbanisation policies were also shown to have contributed to the land-use and transport-related intentions of the Dutch national government. Without compact urban development urban sprawl would likely have been greater, resulting in greater car use and related environmental impacts, higher congestion and lower accessibility levels, along with stronger fragmentation of wildlife habitats.

Book Synopsis Transport Policy and the Environment by : Kenneth Button
Download or read book Transport Policy and the Environment written by Kenneth Button and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport, in particular the motor vehicle, is a major source of environmental disruption and, in the developed world, accounts for thirty percent of energy consumption. In most countries, transport policy is a major government concern, yet it is rare for decisions to be made outside a narrow set of sectoral considerations. This book, commissioned by the OECD, looks at seven countries; the UK, the USA, West Germany, France, The Netherlands, Greece and Italy. Each case demonstrates, in different ways, the problems in transport policies produced by the failure is a consequence of departmental division: transport, the environment, the exchequer, etc. all have their own, quite separate ministries. Here, a group of economists have demonstrated both the folly of such partial ways of thinking and, in writing their critiques of specific disaster, have provided models for ways forward. Originally published in 1990
