ABSTRACT
This chapter provides the reader with an introduction to land use and transport models. The aim is to provide basic understanding of this type of models and the need for them to be integrated, rather than revising features of state-of-the-art models which are very complex. For this purpose, I concentrate my attention to two classical models used to generate and distribute trips: gravitational model and (multinomial) logistic model, and then I revise onemethod to predict the location of people for land use. This chapter also introduces the reader to the modeling features of an iconic model for integrated land use and transportation which is based on a matrix of origindestination flows. Let us define first what is a land use and transport model and how it is important to engineers before we actually look into some of the modelling features.
