Initiation of traffic calming measures is on the challenging agenda of most cities, which are in pursuit of creating livable urban areas. However, previous studies on this research pointed out that the knowledge of the strategic aspects of application of these restrictions is insufficient, which is blocking further progression. Therefore a comprehensive policy assessment framework has been proposed and developed, which is combining modern modeling tools with reliable, well-tried appraisal methods. This work is another milestone of this broader research and its aim is to elaborate the modeling part of the framework enabling and establishing further works. The objective of this paper is to give an overview on this process and the result of which is a land-use and transport interaction model. In addition, it is also intended to practically test the model on a hypothetical case and to demonstrate its suitability.
Nowadays, one of the biggest and most challenging tasks of cities is the management of urban and suburban transport. The growth of mobility and motorization in the last centuries led into a social trap that only has recently been recognized through congestion and environmental problems. The issues mostly arise in areas where travel demand is at a high level, namely in large cities.Handling urban and suburban transport problems could significantly influence the competitiveness of cities. In times of economic crisis and climate change it is crucial how to use scarce resources, therefore cost-and energy efficiency are becoming more and more important factors. Under these circumstances transport sector is also about to realize that new travel demand management tools can diminish the negative impacts while reasonable mobility needs can be satisfied.In this paper the possible tools of travel demand management are categorized focusing on innovative measures. Recommendations are concluded through international best-practices in accordance with the method of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning.Keywords travel demand management · travel behavior · sustainable transport systems · urban mobility planning
