“…This is partially because, in contrast to other instruments available to transport planners such as land-use and transport demand models, ex ante models of transport network expansion are few and they are hardly ever empirically validated. For a comprehensive overview of transport network modelling, we refer to Xie and Levinson (2009). In the 1960s, conceptual and empirical modelling efforts have been undertaken by quantitative geographers (Taaffe et al 1963;Warntz 1966;Kolars and Malin 1970).…”

This paper introduces a GIS-based model that simulates the geographic expansion of transport networks by several decision-makers with varying objectives. The model progressively adds extensions to a growing network by choosing the most attractive investments from a limited choice set. Attractiveness is defined as a function of variables in which revenue and broader societal benefits may play a role and can be based on empirically underpinned parameters that may differ according to private or public interests. The choice set is selected from an exhaustive set of links and presumably contains those investment options that best meet private operator's objectives by balancing the revenues of additional fare against construction costs. The investment options consist of geographically plausible routes with potential detours. These routes are generated using a fine-meshed regularly latticed network and shortest path finding methods. Additionally, two indicators of the geographic accuracy of the simulated networks are introduced. A historical case study is presented to demonstrate the model's first results. These results show that the modelled networks reproduce relevant results of the historically built network with reasonable accuracy.

“…Through the concept of TOD, a city developed at some points grow, which is the point of rest mass transportation. Consequently, there is the division point of growth based on the route to public transportation stops (Xie & Levinson 2009). This concept is also a regional design that makes up an accessibility network in regional scale and it becomes an integrated union.…”

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) implementation in urban development is globally adopted by many countries in the world in a rapid manner. However, the city and regional acute problems is still propagating. An in-depth study to examine this problem is required. Thus, this paper review various study related to the integration of land use and transport with TOD. The subject of the paper will be described as follow: Method, criteria and indicators of TOD'S research, Reviewing the strategic plan and the public transport plan in the worldwide, and Cross-continent comparison of integration planning. In conclusion, practice and integration of TOD through land use and transportation is an alternative solution in acquiring the objective of the master plan and to solve urban issues such as urban congestion, reduce travel time, and car dependency.

“…Since their introduction for network dynamics by Snijders (1995) and his colleagues, SABMs have been widely applied in various fields, ranging from friendship networks (Cheadle et al, 2013) to inter-organizational networks (Liu et al, 2013a;Liu et al, 2013c;Van de Bunt and Groenewegen, 2007), manufacturing networks (Buchmann and Pyka, 2013), political networks (Andrew, 2009;KINNE, 2013), and many other areas. However, to date this approach has not been applied to air transport networks, probably in part because of the high requirements in terms availability of longitudinal network data, which has been a longstanding limitation to analyze the changes of transportation networks using statistical analysis tools (Xie and Levinson, 2009). …”

In this paper, we outline and test an explanatory framework drawing on stochastic actor-based modeling to understand changes in the outline of European air transport networks between 2003 and 2009. Stochastic actor-based models show their capabilities to estimate and test the effect of exogenous and endogenous drivers on network changes in this application to the air transport network. Our results reveal that endogenous structural effects, such as transitivity triads, indirect relations and betweenness effects impact the development of the European air transport network in the period under investigation. In addition, exogenous nodal and dyadic covariates also play a role, with above all the enlargement of the European Common Aviation Area having benefitted its new members to open more air routes between them. The emergence of major low-cost airline-focused airports also significantly contributed to these changes. We conclude by outlining some avenues for further research.
