Improving Exploratory Analysis in Land-use Transportation Interaction Models

A Spatio-Temporal Visual Analytics Tool for Simulated Transport Oriented-Land Use Urban Planning Data

“…For the context of this work we highlight those proposed around MARS (Emberger et al, 2010) (Pfaffenbichler et al, 2010), UrbanSim (Waddell, 2002), and LUTI (Torrens, 2000). Recently we proposed BUS(Bogota Urban Simulator) (Guzman, 2018) (Vivas et al, 2021) to integrate in a platform a Bogotá-LUTI model using Vensim (Eberlein and Peterson, 1992), with two other models (Economic general equilibrium, and urban structure) using a SOA approach for the deployment.…”

“…Decision makers can analyze different alternatives of intervention using estimations of evolution over time of comex city-region, based on a set of indicators located in analysis zones. This paper presents VIZ-BUS: a Urban Visual Analytics toolkit associated with BUS (Bogota Urban Simulator), an integrated simulator of land use, transport and economic activity in a city region of 10 million inhabitants (Guzman, 2018) (Vivas et al, 2021). Different urban intervention alternatives can then be simulated and different scenarios for the city region can be compared over a horizon of years of the simulation period.…”

“…For example, employment in a zone, or number of trips by transport mode (BRT, car, bike, walking) between two zones of interest. The BUS platform (Vivas et al, 2021), as a simulator based on a spatial model based on a partitioning of space into zones and an integrated simulation, allows simulating different intervention scenarios in a city-region environment. A simulation run produces an estimate of the state of each zone over the simulation interval, period by period.…”
