  7. Abstract:
  8. Land-use and transportation are inter-related, such that land-use may be used to control transportation. This study aims to design a suitable combination of the residential and service land-use on one side, and the transportation system on the other side. The model presented in this study has two external and internal levels, and its objective is to minimize the cost of residence, receiving goods and services, and transportation. The performance of any combination of spatial allocation of population and employment, as well as transportation, is evaluated by the internal level of the model which determines the interaction between population, employment, and transportation. This is done by a joint land-use and traffic distribution and assignment model. The base of the land-use model is that of Garin-Lowry, in which the choices of place of residence and receiving service are governed by two utility functions in two logit models. These utility functions are comprised of three components designed to measure the benefits and costs of the place as well as the transportation costs. The external level designs the population, employment, and transportation capacities. To test the model two test problems are used to describe the behavior of the mode, and its applicability on larger problems
