Modelling home locations choices as function of transportation accessibility in context of transportation system performance and urban form

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will develop an innovative state-of-the art model for home location choices of urban residences. Such models can then be used to predict housing demand, urban form and resulting transportation service requirements in urban areas. The project will use an innovative data set collected in the Greater Toronto Area on home location choices and residential relocation choices in response to the changes in commuting costs. This data set will be used to develop model that accommodates advanced measures of accessibility in context of urban form and transportation system performances. Such measure includes transportation network geometry, urban form types, urban density, relative angle between work and home locations of multiple household members etc. Such measure will encapsulate the true measures of accessibility in home location choice models that are often overlooked. The proposed project will break ground by applying advanced discrete
