Transport and the spatial location of population and activities
have been important themes of study in engineering, social sciences
and urban and regional planning for many decades. However, an
integrated approach to the modelling of transport and land use has
been rarely made, and common practice has been to model both
phenomena independently. This book presents an introduction to the
modelling of land use and transport interaction (LUTI), with a
theoretical basis and a presentation of the broad state of the art.
It also sets out the steps for building an operational LUTI model
to provide a concrete application. The authors bring extensive
experience in this cross-disciplinary field, primarily for an
academic audience and for professionals seeking a thorough
introduction.

Public Transportation Quality of Service: Factors, Models, and
Applications is the first book to help researchers better
understand the contributing factors that can improve public
transportation perception among users. The book compiles in one
place metrics currently dispersed in journal articles, government
publications and book chapters. It critically analyzes currently
available modeling methodologies such as the Ordered Logit/Probit
model and Models of Structural Equations, highlighting their
advantages and disadvantages. The book addresses models of desired
quality, including the views of users and non-users, discussing the
gap between desired and perceived quality. The book also examines
data mining approaches such as decision trees and neural networks,
showing how to involve the public in the decision-making process to
create policies that encourage public transport demand. Measuring
passenger's views on public transportation is of critical concern
to promote wider transit use in cities around the world.
