Résumé

There is a widespread recognition that transportation and land-use are strongly related. Actually, an extensive literature documents our current understanding of relationships linking urban form factors (residential and employment density, transit supply, auto ownership, accessibility and socio-economic factors such as income, age, gender and occupation) with travel activity (travel distances, modal split, mobility rate) (Miller, et al., 1998).

Urban sprawl, when observed according to its time dynamics, generates strong structural changes in travel behavior for commuters. For metropolitan transportation planners, recent and urgent concerns are emphasizing needs for clarifying the mutual impacts of land-use and transportation networks. In the same context, transport systems analysis at the metropolitan level faces the methodological challenge of accessing, structuring and exploiting relevant information from multiple data sources. This paper defines an analytical framework for modeling the impacts of settlement patterns and related mobility behavior by the incorporation of multi-dimensional variables in order to represent the complexity of the urban process phenomena. The question of forecasting future settlement pattern and related mobility is also addressed. An extensive experimentation with the Montreal data constitutes a demonstration of the applied methodology.
