“…They devised a method of automatically updating urban layouts in the form of parcels and streets for every time step of the simulation. Waddell et al (2010) developed a micro-simulation model of land-use dynamics at parcel level by integrating an activity-based travel model. These studies focused on the economic analysis of discrete spatial choices made by resident agents, overlooking other geographic factors and neighborhood influences.…”

Urban growth models are useful tools to understand the patterns and processes of urbanization. In recent years, the bottom-up approach of geo-computation, such as cellular automata and agent-based modeling, is commonly used to simulate urban landuse dynamics. This study has developed an integrated model of urban growth called agent-integrated irregular automata (AIIA) by using vector geographic information system environment (i.e. both the data model and operations). The model was tested for the city of San Marcos, Texas to simulate two scenarios of urban growth. Specifically, the study aimed to answer whether incorporating commercial, industrial and institutional agents in the model and using social theories (e.g. utility functions) improves the conventional urban growth modeling. By validating against empirical land-use data, the results suggest that a holistic framework such as AIIA performs better than the existing irregular-automata-based urban growth modeling.

“…However, the microscopic integration between land use and transport never became operational. The probably first true integration of microsimulation land-use and transport models was developed by Waddell, Wang, Charlton, and Olsen (2010) for San Francisco. The model was able to use worker-specific travel times to work to feed the household relocation model instead of more aggregate accessibilities.…”

Integrated land-use/transport models have five decades of history of both widely recognized successful implementations and implementations that remained far behind their originally stated goals. This paper summarizes the state of the art of integrated land-use/transport modeling and reports on findings from the Symposium for the Integration of Land-Use and Transport Models in Raitenhaslach, which is near Munich, in 2016. From these sources, the paper identifies major challenges in integrated land-use/transport modeling and proposes paths that support successful implementations. Particular attention is given to the coordination of short-and long-term decisions, the technical integration of models, microscopic versus macroscopic frameworks and appropriate levels of model complexity. The paper concludes with five themes that require further research to ensure that integrated landuse/transport models will keep up with modeling needs in the future.

“…Also the model evolved into an integrated microsimulation model, using activity based travel models in recent applications. [11] Virtue of the model that it has an open source program, main drawbacks are the heavy adaptation needs, and the fact it was developed for american circumstances and for metropolitan scale which limit its usefulness on national scale.…”

Since the accession to the EU, Hungary came at huge sum of development resources. These resources should serve the sustainable development of the economy of the country and its people. However, joint planning between land-use planning, regional planning and transportation planning is lacking, disendowing the utilization of possible synergies. LUTI models represent a way to deal with this problem, but Hungarian research in this field is in hiatus, and governmental interest is missing. This paper aims to draw attention to this field. It is in Hungary's best interest to develop or adopt some kind of LUTI model to enhance its developmental capability.
