INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AND LAND-USE MODELLING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

项目名称：	INTEGRATED TRANSPORT AND LAND-USE MODELLING FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
摘要：	Urban transportation is one of the biggest sources of CO2 emissions and other atmospheric pollutants. Significant reductions in environmental impacts, however, can only be achieved through a combination of transport and land use policies. Of particular importance is the relationship between urban structure and transport emissions, since it is urban structure which fundamentally determines transportation demand. Most policy impacts, however, can not credibly perform such analyses. The overall objective of the research is to develop an integrated land use - transportation - environment impact (ILUTE) modelling system which is capable of producing credibe, policy-relevant estimates of energy use and emissions for Canadian urban areas for a wide range of policy inputs. The development of a fully operational model of this nature is a major undertaking which can not be fully accomplished within a single research project. Rather, this project has six specific objectives: (1) to develop comprehensive, GIS-based "computer laboratories" for three Canadian cities (Edmonton, Hamilton and Quebec City) capable of supporting the development of an ILUTE modelling system; (2) to develop an overal "model shell" for ILUTE modelling, applied to the three study regions; (3) to develop within the ILUTE system improved, operational, market-based models of location choice processes; (4) to develop and test survey methods needed to develop improved location choice models; (5) to integrate energy/emissions calculations fully within the ILUTE process; and (6) to develop activity-based, operational models of non-work travel demand, integrated within the ILUTE system. The research will build on previous, independent work by the researchers in the three study regions. The major products of the proposed research will be an operational, integrated transport/land-use model developed for the three urban areas, contributions to the literature in identified component areas, and the investigation of a range of Canadian urban policy issues using the model developed. Given the data and computational resources available to the study team within their home universities, as well as the collective expertise of the co-investigators, this study team is uniquely placed within Canada (and, for that matter, North America) to successfully undertake this research work.
