Accessibility of neotraditional neighborhoods: A review of design concepts, policies, and recent literature

Abstract
Neotraditional neighborhood design (NTND) has gained increasing attention from professional, academic and popular circles during the past 10 years. This review establishes a baseline evaluation of NTND, with the goal of providing the background for more specific research in the future. The first section of the article orients NTND in a historical context, reviewing the main subdivision design trends of the past century and how NTND has either diverged or borrowed from them. The second section focuses on a review of current issues and policies related to this planning trend, with special attention directed toward transportation and land use research and the effect of neotraditional design on accessibility of the transportation system. The article concludes by offering an assessment of the potential of NTND to address growth-related problems in suburban areas and by identifying key unmet research needs.

A discrete–continuous model of households’ vehicle choice and usage, with an application to the effects of residential density

Abstract
This paper develops a new method to solve multivariate discrete–continuous problems and applies the model to measure the influence of residential density on households’ vehicle fuel efficiency and usage choices. Traditional discrete–continuous modelling of vehicle holding choice and vehicle usage becomes unwieldy with large numbers of vehicles and vehicle categories. I propose a more flexible method of modelling vehicle holdings in terms of number of vehicles in each category, using a Bayesian multivariate ordinal response system. I also combine the multivariate ordered equations with Tobit equations to jointly estimate vehicle type/usage demand in a reduced form, offering a simpler alternative to the traditional discrete/continuous analysis. Using the 2001 National Household Travel Survey data, I find that increasing residential density reduces households’ truck holdings and utilization in a statistically significant but economically insignificant way. The results are broadly consistent with those from a model derived from random utility maximization. The method developed above can be applied to other discrete–continuous problems.

Abstract
This paper shows how the problem of predicting traveler behavior may be approached in terms of economic utility theory. A general utility maximization model on the level of individual trip-making decisions is developed from basic hypotheses regarding the costs and benefits attributed to travel disaggregated into individual trips. For predictive purposes the form of the utility functions involved must be specified, and several possibilities are explored. The functional forms of the resulting travel demand functions are then derived. In order to pursue an analysis of variations in traveler behavior and in order to perform aggregation over individuals, disturbances in the parameters of the utility functions are considered. The parameters investigated are marginal utilities and the distributions used are normal distributions. In considering binary choices, a trip demand model, a modal split model, and a destination split model are obtained from the same basic methodology. Finally, possible approaches to testing the functional relations involved and to measuring marginal utilities are discussed.
