Urban-Travel Linkages: a Review

Abstract

This chapter illustrates the need for planners to be able to predict the impact of various proposed alternatives upon travel linkages and to point to some of the questions that require answers if impacts are to be correctly foreseen. For this reason the problems of modelling multi-purpose travel are outlined below primarily within the context of the implications for models of destination choice. In reviewing the various approaches that have been taken in analysing multi-purpose travel linkages, this portion of the chapter has revealed the past proclivity for descriptive rather than predictive studies of urban-travel linkages. The chapter explores a framework within which to conduct further studies of urban-travel linkages. It is quite evident that the foregoing discussion highlights the need for and urges the execution of predictive studies of urban-travel linkages. A more reasonable approach, it would seem, is to construct any number of more modestly conceived models aimed at addressing selected aspects of urban-travel linkages.
