“…However, intensification can also lead to congestion on the transportation network, which might cause accessibility to decrease and negative externalities to increase because of the concentration of cars and traffic. This is called the "intensification paradox" (Melia, Parkhurst, and Barton 2011). In large cities, this might result in more, not less, traveling because of negative agglomeration effects, causing people and jobs to move farther out (Ferreira and Batey 2011;Wheeler 2009), although this still benefits residents because of increased choice and opportunities (van Wee 2011).…”

“…This increase in land-use densities and mix, which we call "urban intensification," is also expected to protect natural resources, such as agricultural land and clean air, and to support better use of social services (Hull 2011). However, it has also been noted that without consistent urban transport policies, intensification-related costs (e.g., congestion, pollution) instead of benefits might prevail (Ferreira and Batey 2011;Melia, Parkhurst, and From integrated aims to fragmented outcomes: Urban intensification and transportation planning in the Netherlands Barton 2011;Niemeier, Bai, and Handy 2011).…”

Abstract-Travel demand forecasting has become the target of increasing interest from both transport planners and engineers. It not only contributes primarily to sustainable city planning strategies, but is also an effective tool for quantifying transport impacts of new developments. This paper considers an alternative methodology to forecast residential trip demand using the UK TRICS database as the primary resource. The traditional category analysis approach seeks to classify historic travel surveys into categories determined by land use and other influential characteristics. By analysing trip rate variation for residential sites with different characteristics, this paper proposes a new classification system, which clearly represents differences in trip rates and optimises the value of the data. This new classification system (compared to that accomplished via TRICS groupings) simply partitions residential zones into those which are predominantly comprised of flats and houses. Travel models have been developed based on these two groups. These models allow forecasting of proposed residential sites. This paper confirms the importance of observed trip generation data, such as that provided by TRICS, as a valuable resource upon which travel forecasts can be based. In addition, this paper encourages the use of alternative methodologies including reclassification of sites and the adoption of regression techniques in order to improve validity of results.

“…This difficulty is related to the complexity of the movements undertaken by a population that define lines of desire for mobility that are not very clear in space and time. In fact, the linearity of commuting, associated with the expansion of cities of the past, appears now dimmed by a wide range of destinations that each develops for his/her everyday life, largely caused by the speed of the transformation and specialization of land use (Melia et al [11]). Nowadays, a journey is rarely constituted by a single trip and, either it includes long miles, or it is shared by various paths of very short distance (Banister [12]).…”

Among other explanatory factors for the worsening imbalance in modal split that has occurred in the last three decades in the AMPorto (considered here with nine counties, according to Law No. 44/91) is a weak competitive capacity of networks of collective use particularly road passenger transport. More than a dozen companies operate in an area of 817 km 2 , providing a disjointed service and therefore extremely punitive to the population.The Portuguese government is carrying out efforts to gather information from carriers. Still, given the possibilities easily reached by new GIS technologies, we admit that there is a data deficit of integration on a territorial basis, also spread over several institutions, which makes the necessary adjustments difficult, whether the decisions by central government and businesses, or those made by the population.The reflection proposed addresses issues concerning the governance in transport -the desire for integration and practice of fragmentation of networks. It stimulates, from the possibilities offered by GIS, the results of a punitive governmental modus operandi to the operations of public transport.The exercise is based on the cross-interpretation between the results obtained with the Normative Ordinance no 32/2009 and what we believe to have been a missed opportunity of a governance exercise in the transport domain.
