Transportation energy conservation and urban growth
Abstract This paper investigates the role of transportation energy consumption constraints in the organization of an urban system, and the relative allocation of its land use activities, through the use of a combined land use transportation model based on a modification of TOPAZ. In addition to the formulation of the mathematical structure of the model, the paper reports on the development of the solution algorithm, and some preliminary tests indicating rapid model convergence and minimal computational costs. These tests also reveal that transportation energy cost is an important variable in determining metropolitan structure and the location of urban activities.
