Integrated Land-Use, Transportation and Environmental Modeling the Vermont Integrated Land-Use and Transportation Carbon Estimator

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: The Vermont Integrated Land-Use and Transportation Carbon Estimator (VILTCE) project is part of a larger effort to develop environmental metrics related to travel, and to integrate these tools into a travel model under University of Vermont Transportation Research Center Signature Project No. 1B. The signature project teams intended to develop measures normally not considered in transportation models. By including these environmental metrics, travel models can be used for a wider range of applications and can consider important impacts resulting from a project or policy that might otherwise be overlooked. The signature project includes the following tasks: development of new model-output environmental metrics to quantify net-carbon, storm water impacts, particulate impacts, robustness, and air pollution; integration of new output metrics into an advanced transportation model; evaluation of environmental metrics under alternative policy, planning, and investment scenarios; and testing of the sensitivity of the model-output metrics to the level of model complexity.
