  3. California Laws: SB 375 is a California Climate Change law requiring Land Use and Transportation planning that will reduce GHG emissions mainly from passenger and light duty vehicles. This requires creating models for 2020 and 2035. • In February, 2010, the China Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued a legal document called “Urban Comprehensive Transportation System Planning Procedure,” which requires that both transportation system planning and urban general planning need to be done in a coordinated way and will serve as a legal requirement for development of urban and transportation planning procedures in China.

  5. 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 .5 • The land use allocation model is developed by UC Davis • UPlan is a GIS based Land Use model that runs within ESRI’s ArcGIS. Shape files representing General Plans, specific plans, existing urban areas, infrastructure, roads, environmental, and others are converted to grid based rasters. • UPlan allocates the land use into grids and TAZs based on the total populations and totoal employments and a set of rules and attractors. What Is UPlan?

  6. Land Use/Transportation Modeling Stage 1: Land Use Sketch Planning; Stage 2: Land Use Refinement; Stage3: Transportation Policy Planning; Two special feedbacks at Stage 1 and Stage 3; Uplan and Emme are used as part of the modeling process. 8

  7. Attraction Factors In Layers Existing road condition On/off ramps of highway Rapid high-speed rail River environment Existing urban condition Existing construction condition Flooding condition Attribute of land Earth quake condition TAZ based transportation accessibility TAZ based V/C measure Policy preferences

  8. Project Application for City of Luohe Region in China Luohe is a prefecture-level city in central Henan province, People's Republic of China. It is famous for its food production, the national garden city and is rich in tourism resources with the forest coverage up to 44.5%. The streets are lined with green trees and fresh flowers.

  9. Study Area Its urban proper area has a population of 800,000 with 61.99 square kilo-meters and 1.2 million in 2030. It is a typical middle-sized city in China (a population between 0.5 and 1 million). To develop a general plan of the city with the new regulation, we developed the project to determine the future land use patterns with transportation infrastructure by applying this modeling method.

  10. Land Use and Transportation Policies

  11. Land Use and Transportation Policies Draft LU Allocation (2030) LU Allocation (2009)

  12. Attractiveness from Low in Red to High in Green

  13. Luohe City LU Allocations

  14. Volumes for One Transportation Policy

  15. Comparison Results at Stage Three Table 14: Average VMT (in PCU-km) of Three Options for Two Applications • The integration with feedbacks does produce a lower VMT • Transit option is better than auto option

  16. Figure 9: 2030 Land Use Type Allocations for Transit Option with Application Two

  17. Implementation: UPlan and Emme Modeller • New Emme Modeller can be used to call UPlan directly; • Iterations between Emme and UPlan can be streamlined automatically or manually; • A fixed point (or convergent solution) can be obtained and • Transportation results can be compared effectively.

  18. Trip Generations and Auto Volumes in Emme

  19. Developed Sustainable Policies and Strategies • Implemented An Integration Modeling System • Performed Evaluation of These Policies and Strategies • Reduced VMT via Land Use and Transportation Feedbacks (Iterations) • Will apply this method to a larger area and regions • Will make comparison studies between the US and China Conclusions 21
