Measuring land use and transportation performance in the Montreal metropolitan region

可达性是衡量土地利用和交通规划绩效的综合指标。因此，预测土地利用和运输系统随时间变化的影响，对于将来制定准确的可达性措施至关重要。在这项研究中，我提供了各种可达性指标的生成，并附有详细的土地利用和交通变化模型，可以预测城市系统随时间的变化。这些可达性措施将被整合到土地利用变化模型中，以预测蒙特利尔地区的变化。可达性措施和土地利用变化模型将在项目结束时使用，以产生敏感性分析，测试蒙特利尔交通计划引入的各种情景，并显示部分实施该计划对未来土地使用和交通系统的影响。本项目的目标是强调可达性作为土地利用和交通绩效的衡量标准，并展示如何通过利用土地利用和交通变化模型来评估各种交通计划和政策。

Accessibility is a comprehensive measure of land use and transportation planning performance. Accordingly predicting effects of changes in land use and transportation systems over time is essential in generating accurate accessibility measures in the future. In this research grant I offer the generation of various accessibility measures accompanied by detailed land use and transportation change models that enables predicting changes in the urban system over time. These accessibility measures will be integrated in the land use change models to predict changes in the Montreal region. Measures of accessibility and land use change models will be used at the end of the project to generate a sensitivity analysis testing various scenarios being introduced by the Montreal transportation plan and showing the effects of partially implementing this plan on land use and transportation systems in the future. The goal of this project is to highlight accessibility as a measure for land use and transportation performance and show how it can be used in evaluating various transportation plans and policies through utilization of land use and transportation change models.
