Background

Introduction Problem Overall research First phase Results Discussion

Transportation planning was/is facing challenge

‘Predict and provide’ → ‘predict and prevent’

Integration of land use and transport planning

Little proof in practice, yet willingness

Content and organizational problem (Hull, 2006)

‘Sustainable accessibility’ (Bertolini et al., 2005)

Problem

Introduction Problem Overall research First phase Results Discussion

Planning Support System (PSS)

Planning and models; a Janus relation

What we can vs. what we need

Demand, supply gap

A new development approach is called for!

Planners and modellers: uneasy relationship

Scienticial true versus practical

First phase

Introduction Problem Overall research First phase Results Discussion

Assessing recently developed PSS

Several attempts in the Netherlands

Mostly LUTI models

Some share our goals

What can we learn from them

Approach: qualitative interviews (developers & users)
