TRANSPORTATION ECOLOGY MODEL - CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENTS

It has been clear for some time that no single transportation mode is the panacea of all metropolitan transportation problems. This paper puts forth a conceptual foundation for a general transportation ecology model (a model representing the functional environment of transportation systems). The empirical and theoretical considerations necessary for the foundations, as well as the expectations of the model concept, are explored.
