Analysis of interaction among land use, transportation network and air pollution using stochastic nonlinear programming
Shahraki, N. & Turkay, M.
Abstract
This paper presents two novel models for land
use and transportation to address the development of different
functional zones in urban areas by considering the
design of an efficient transportation network and reducing
air pollution. Objective functions of the first model are
maximizing utility function and maximizing reliability
index. The utility is formulated as a function of travel cost
and zonal attractiveness. Reliability index is defined as the
probability that flow in each link of the network is less than
the design capacity. Maximizing this probability is equivalent
to minimizing congestion in the network. In addition,
maximizing utility and minimizing carbon monoxide
emission in the network are considered as objective functions
in the second model. The formulated models are
nonlinear and stochastic. We implement the ε-constraint
method for solving these bi-objective optimization problems.
We analyze the models and solution characteristics
of some examples. In addition, we evaluate the relation
between computing time and complexity of the model. In
this study, for the first time in the open literature, stochastic
bi-objective optimization models are formulated to analyze
interaction among land use, transportation network and air
pollution. We also extract and summarize some useful
insights on the relationship among land use, transportation
network and environmental impact associated with them.
