USER SERVICES AND THE DEMAND FOR LAND AT INTERCHANGE POINTS
FIRMS PROVIDING USER SERVICES, THE USERS, AND THEIR JOINT REACTION TO THE ADVENT OF FULLY CONTROLLED ACCESS HIGHWAY FACILITIES ARE ANALYZED. AVAILABLE EVIDENCE IS ANALYZED PERTAINING TO USER SERVICES AND THE DEMAND FOR LAND AT INTERCHANGE POINTS. TWO DISTINCT CLASSES OF USERS ARE CATEGORIZED AS COMMERCIAL AND NON-COMMERCIAL BASED ON THE TYPE OF USER SERVICES REQUIRED. DESPITE NUMEROUS ORIGIN- DESTINATION AND MOTOR-VEHICLE USE STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED, ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON FACTORS INFLUENCING USER BEHAVIOR UNDER CONDITIONS OF LIMITED ACCESS. THE FEW STUDIES THAT HAVE BEEN CONDUCTED STILL LEAD TO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. WHEN AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION IS OBTAINABLE, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO UNDERTAKE SPECIFIC & MEANINGFUL INQUIRIES INTO QUESTIONS OF THE USERS, THE FIRMS SUPPLYING USER SERVICES, AND THEIR JOINT RESPONSE TO CHANGING CONDITIONS.
