摘要：	The main objective of this work was to study the mobility patterns and characteristics of the city of Kuwait by implementing a detailed modulization of these patterns and characteristics. The goal of this modulization was to create a beneficial tool with which to objectively evaluate the different alternatives proposed in this research. The proposed model is an upgrade of the Third Kuwait Master Plan Review (3KMPR) metropolitan area and town center traffic models, but with updated socioeconomic variables, detailed representations of the street network in Kuwait, and new public transport proposals. It was found that there were enough socioeconomic variables on which to base the spatial correlation of the generations/attractions model. Furthermore, corridor accessibility assignment diagrams were created that showed the subgroup of the assigned trips that pass through a particular section. The diagrams showed that the network was balanced, with no clear focalization in the center area. Moreover, a nonrestrained assignment analysis was also conducted to identify the natural corridors used in a free-flow situation. However, the resulting assignment was similar to the calibrated network and was without any clear corridors, so it was not used as a helpful tool for the planning of the corridors. Finally, desire lines that reflect the wish of commuters to reduce their travel time when moving from the origin to the desired land-use attractions were generated.
