TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IN MEGALOPOLIS

It is the content of this paper that two main avenues of approach need to be opened up in the planning of transportation facilities in megalopolis, these being a coherent understanding of each megalopolis as a system and that of a coherent multimode system model of the complete transportation subsystem. Approaches discussed are a method for functional decomposition of megalopolis into subsystems and a system theory model for multimodal transportation networks.
