The Data Requirements of an Integrated Land Use Transport Model.

Abstract

This paper contains the description of the data used in the development and testing of a model that represents the interaction between transport costs and the location of housing, population, jobs, employment, shopping and land. The data is based almost entirely on secondary sources, and emphasis is placed in the paper on the practical issues involved in the assembly of the required data base for the city of Leeds. Each topic is considered in turn, with comments on both the sources and the manipulation necessary to convert the data to the required format
