A SIMPLIFIED TRAFFIC MODEL FOR SMALL CITIES
Mathematical models are often used to project a state of affairs. They can also be used to analyze a desired or probable state of affairs. This paper attempts to show how established gravity model techniques can be applied in analyzing proposed trafficways systems based on general land use plans for a small city. Specifically, the paper proposes a method that city planners and traffic engineers can use, during the preparation of a general (comprehensive) plan for a small community, to evaluate and test one or more combined trafficways and land use systems.
