    Traffic Analysis on Cumulative Land Development and Transportation Related Policy Scenarios
    (2014) Zhu, Zheng; Zhang, Lei; Civil Engineering; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    Numerous methods have been developed to evaluate the impact of land developments and transportation policies on transportation infrastructures. But traditional approaches are either limited to static performance or a lack of behavior foundation. With only a few activity-based land development models in practice, this thesis integrates dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) with agent-based positive travel behavior model as a feasible tool for land development and transportation policy analysis. The integrated model enhances the behavior realism of DTA as well as captures traffic dynamics. It provides a low-cost approach to conduct new traffic analysis which emphasis on not only regional/local system mobility, but also individual behaviors. A land development analysis and a flexible work schedule policy analysis are illustrated in this paper. Unlike traditional land development impact studies, a great deal of travel behavior shift is obtained via this integrated model, which creates a new way for land development and policy analysis.
