SCOPE

The subcommittee on Integrated Transportation and Land Use Modeling is interested in the development and application of integrated models of both urban and regional systems that include substantial representation of the transportation and broader land use components of these systems and the nature of the interactions between and within these components.  In this case, the term 'land use' is used to refer to elements of the quantity and distribution of population and employment and related economic activities, the built form and the environment.

The subcommittee seeks to bring together researchers and practitioners from a diverse array of subject fields, including transportation engineering and planning, economics, geography, urban planning, geomatics, econometrics, statistics and market research (among others) in order to exchange information, ideas and techniques concerning the integrated modeling of urban and regional systems.  More specifically, the subcommittee is concerned with the identification, development, application and dissemination of state­-of-the-art methods for the representation of urban and regional systems and their evolution over space and time for use in both policy development and forecasting.  The subcommittee intends to serve as a leading forum for disseminating scholarly work in this area.

This subcommittee belongs to two committees: the ADB40 Committee on Passenger Travel Demand Forecasting; and the ADD30 Committee on Transportation and Land Development. The subcommittee will work with all research and technology transfer facilitation subcommittees of the ADB40 and ADD30 committees to foster and support activities aimed at furthering the development of improved transportation and land use analysis and forecasting  tools.
