Maximum Possible Increase in Trips under Constraint of Environmental Sustainability

This paper clarifies urban development potentiality in terms of the total number of trips generated, which can be taken as a control indicator for the authorities to plan urban transport and environment development. Under the constraints of environment regulations, CO(2) emissions should not exceed a given cap for transport networks, namely road traffic network environment capacity. In order to examine the maximum possible increase in the total trips generated in association with urban economic activities, a bi-level optimization model is proposed. The model is verified on a transport test-network.
