Symposium for the Integration of Land-Use and Transport Models
From November 2nd to 4th, 2016, a symposium on the integration of land use and transport models took place at the TUM Study and Science Center in Raitenhaslach, Germany.
A movie with some impressions from the symposium is available here.
Introduction
A few selected top-level experts were invited to this workshop to advance theory and implementation of integrating land use and transport models. The goal was to explore questions such as:
- Can microscopic integration at the agent-level improve the integration of land use and transport models?
- Is there information beyond travel times and zonal location of population and employment that should be exchanged between the land use and transport models?
- How can we deal with different time scales of ad-hoc transportation choices and long-term housing choices?
- What is the right balance between model detail and reasonable runtimes?
- Do we need additional tools, such as environmental impact models, health impact models, of fiscal impact models, to complement the land use/transport feedback cycle?
The workshop took place November 2nd to November 4th, 2016.
Venue
A special workshop needs a unique venue. The Technical University of Munich recently renovated a 12th-centuary Cistercian Monastery in Raitenhaslach, located between Munich and Salzburg. Now called the TUM Science & Study Center Raitenhaslach, this venue was an inspiring site to work on integrated land use/transport modeling.
