摘要:Regional travel-demand forecasting models are complex and cumbersome
to use. Furthermore, they are also not sensitive to neighborhood
level sustainable land use policies such as transit-oriented
developments (TOD). There is a need for developing simple sketch
planning tools and methodologies for taking measurements on the
impacts of land use policies on mobility and environment. The
primary objective of this research is to develop a methodology for
deriving household-level emission footprints of auto travel from
household travel survey data. The methodology was demonstrated
by comparing and contrasting emission footprints for TOD and NonTOD
land uses in the Washington DC metropolitan area. A TOD is
defined as the area encircling stations along line-haul Metrorail
service. Statistical analyses indicated that Non-TOD emission footprints
are significantly higher than the TOD footprints. Differences
amongst pairs of TODs showed no statistical significance. Some
exceptions to this generalized observation were also noted. The
utility of the methodology was also demonstrated by comparing
aggregate emission footprints at county level. The methodology
can also be used for deriving emission footprints for any logical
aggregate group of traffic analysis zones (TAZ). Thus, this research
advances the utility of travel surveys to establishing baselines on
emission footprints for select geographies.
