15. Model Structure
• CUBE used for transport demand modeling and forecasting
• Traditional four stage transportation model, plus Vehicle Availability
(VA) model:
ZONING SYSTEM LANDUSE AND ROAD AND PUBLIC
SOCIOECONOMIC TRANSPORT
DATA NETWORKS
TRIP GENERATION HOW MANY TRIPS?
BY TYPE
TRIP DISTRIBUTION WHAT IS THE
PATTERN OF TRIP
MAKING?
MODAL SPLIT WHICH MODE OF
TRANSPORT IS
USED?
ASSIGNMENTS WHICH ROUTE IS
TAKEN?
16. What’s Wrong?
• Trend-based planning
• No land-use transport optimisation
• Inherent assumption that people shall not
change
• Behavioral
17. What is to be done?
I know not what is to be done about those who do not say, “what is to be done? What
is to be done?” - Confucious
• Vision-based planning
• Land-use budgets based on transport
infrastructure – inclusive planning
• Engineer – Educate – Enforce
• Aspirational
