Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

THE EFFECT OF VARIATION IN FUTURE LAND USE AND TRANSPORT PRICING ON AN EXPRESS TRANSIT SYSTEM IS INVESTIGATED. THROUGH TRAVEL FORECASTING AND MODE CHOICE ESTIMATING PROCESSES, CHANGES IN LAND USE DENSITIES AND RESIDENTIAL-EMPLOYMENT LOCATIONAL PATTERNS WERE STUDIED FOR THEIR IMPACT ON TRAVEL PATTERNS AND THE MODE OF TRAVEL DURING A PEAK PERIOD FOR A SINGLE FIXED REGIONAL EXPRESS TRANSIT AND HIGHWAY SYSTEM. THE LAND USE ELEMEMTS WERE HELD CONSTANT, AND DIFFERING TRANSPORT CHARGES WERE INVESTIGATED FOR THE EFFECT ON THE MODE OF TRAVEL. TRANSIT USAGE WAS SIGNIFICATLY INCREASED WHEN THE CENTRALIZATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND THE LENGTH OF CORRIDOR LAND USE DEVELOPMENT WERE OF TRAVEL WERE SHIFTED. THE STUDY OF TRANSPORT PRICING SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE USE OF TRANSIT TO THE CENTRAL AREA FOR USER COSTS MORE FAVORABLE TO TRANSIT. TRANSIT USAGE TO AREAS OF INHERENTLY LOW TRANSIT USAGE WAS NOT SIGNFICANTLY AFFECTED. /AUTHOR/
