OPTIMISATION IN LOCATIONAL AND TRANSPORT ANALYSIS

In a review of urban and regional modelling the authors discuss aspects of the subject based on optimisation techniques. A range of applications of these techniques in the field of locational and transport analysis is covered. Chapters of the book detail mathematical programming methods, the use of random utility theory and programming approaches to spatial interaction and activity location. Regional account-based models are generated using entropy maximising methods and it is shown how the Lowry model can be presented as an input-output model. Current perspectives of dynamical systems theory are outlined. A range of applications of the methods covered is discussed including some systematic studies of design procedures in transport planning. (TRRL)
