An Examination of Land Use Models, Emphasizing UrbanSim, TELUM, and Suitability Analysis

This work provides integrated transportation land use modeling guidance to practitioners in Texas regions of all sizes. The research team synthesized existing land use modeling experiences from metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) across the country, examined the compatibility of TELUM’s and UrbanSim’s requirements with existing data sets, integrated both UrbanSim and a gravity-based land use modeling with an existing travel demand model (TDM), and examined the results of Waco and Austin land use model runs (with and without transportation and land use policies in place). A simpler, geographic information system (GIS)-based land use suitability analysis was also performed, for Waco, to demonstrate the potential value of such approaches. Finally, the knowledge gained from this research project was disseminated to practicing planners through a Resource Manual/Guidebook and two workshops.
