Integrated Transportation and Land Use Planning Model: A Study on Traffic Congestion in Urban Areas
Abstract: Transportation planning focuses on the most efficient movement for people and goods, access to new residents and businesses which contributes to the economic, industrial, social and cultural development of the country. Planning for transportation infrastructure takes significant role in the development of urban areas. ITLUP (Integrated transportation and land use planning) model deals with integrating proper alignment of transportation networks with land use to decrease travel length and need to travel thereby reducing traffic congestion. This study shows how ITLUP model can be applied in the urban areas. It also discusses about the improper planning of transportation in urban areas which leads to traffic congestion and ITLUP model as a solution to overcome this problem. Lawry model also plays a significant role in planning. It gives importance only for the population and employment in the planning process which is also considered in the study.
