The interaction between land use and transport is complex, multifaceted, and dynamic. Land use development influences transport-related decisions/behavior and transport decisions influence where, when, and how land development takes place.
In this course, key theories that underlie land use transport interaction are discussed, along with their modeling foundations. Special attention is given to spatial interaction theory, which is of relevance to the study of optimal service locations, accessibility analysis at various levels of detail, simulation, and forecasting, and can also be used to optimize and manage network throughput.
This course covers important modeling foundations of networks and spatial interaction as a basis for accessibility analysis in GIS.
Students will conduct a scenario study and examine the land use, mobility, and accessibility impacts of land use and transport policy strategies, using GIS-based land-use/transport interaction measures for the Netherlands.
The course will be offered to ITC students and CEM students as part of a joint-teaching collaboration between Faculties ITC (UPM) and ET (CEM). Please note that all elective courses at ITC are 7 EC, while the elective courses at ET are 5 EC.
