DESIGN OF A LOCATION EXPERIMENT

THE SEARCH FOR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL LOCATION AND URBAN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS HAS BEEN CONDUCTED FROM THE DETERMINISTIC SIDE, USING THE TOOLS OF MICROECONOMIC THEORY, AND FROM THE PROBABLISTIC SIDE, USING INFORMATION THEORY. THE PAPER COMBINES THE USE OF BOTH TYPES OF MODELS TO CREATE A FRAMEWORK FOR THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNER. THIS SYNTHESIS IS EXTENDED SO THAT IT CAN DEAL WITH POPULATIONS WHICH ARE CONTINUOUS IN DISTANCE AND INCOME LEVELS. THE COMPLETED FORMULATION PROVIDES THE PLANNER WITH A MODEL TO PREDICT THE SPATIAL BEHAVIOR OF INCOME CLASSES AND THEIR RESPONSE TO CHANGES IN THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.
