A model‐based analysis of transport and land‐use policies for Tokyo

This paper is concerned with the comparative analysis of the application of the Computer Aided Land Use/Transport Analysis System (CALUTAS) and the Leeds Integrated Land-use Transport model (LILT)to the city of Tokyo in Japan as part of the research programme of the International Study Group on Land-Use Transport Interaction (ISGLUTI). The objective of comparing the two models is to examine how far they agree on the possible impacts of transport and land-use policies over a twenty-year period. The paper commences with brief discussion of Tokyo and its transport system and the two models. After the methodology for the comparison has been described, the results of applying the models to a number of policy tests are presented. Conclusions are drawn in terms of both the responses of the two models and the implications of transport and land-use policies for Tokyo. (Author/TRRL)
