Modelling urban impacts of technological change
Abstract This paper develops further a recent theory of discrete-choice modelling which brings together several bases for urban models. It considers different levels of information concerning utilities of the choices to be made: where complete information is available, utility maximizing at the individual level is considered and a general assignment model developed. Where sample or partly-complete information is available, a utility-satisficing approach is introduced. Where the information is less complete, partial aggregation is considered and continuous function solutions developed. Random-utility and missing-information approaches are compared with utility maximizing and utility satisficing at this level. Further aggregation relates these bases and gives measures of performance of the system as a whole. The models developed are therefore broadly based. Applications considered here focus on urban systems under technological change. The urban system is considered at an aggregated level and a simple two-dimensional spatial model relating land use dispersal and trip dispersal is introduced and used to examine impacts of change.
