Equilibrium between travel demand system supply and urban structure
Chapter
Abstract
While techniques for urban travel-demand modeling have reached high levels of sophistication, basic understanding of the travel process still lags behind. This paper tries to close the gap, by suggesting an approach which, though is in some disagreement with current models, appears to unify the isolated components of travel under a unified process, consistent with basic economic concepts. More specifically, it seems to both describe and explain the interactions between travel demand, transportation system supply and urban structure.
