Abstract

Public transport and town planning from a retroactive point of view C. Wallstrom, S. Johansson et al The aim of this project is to estimate the effect of town planning on traffic volumes and modal split in a regional perspective. The studied region is the south west part of Scania with surroundings. In this area, the buildings planned during the past 25 years (from 1965) are relocated into a more public transport orientated structure. The traffic volumes are calculated with use of modern programs for sequential logit models and network assignment (Emme/2). The relocated situation is compared to the current situation regarding traffic volumes and modal split. A comparison is also made with increased auto costs and increased public transport. A cornerstone in the project has been to design a realistic public transport system alternative with a reasonable location of built-up areas, and built-up areas adapted to local manners, and with a reasonable road net and public transport network.
