Analysis of the Effects by Road Construction with endogenous Induced / Developed Traffic

Abstract

Considering induced/developed traffic means that it relaxes the assumption in the evaluation/forecast of the conventional transportation plan, and changing assumption surely ends up with the changes in the results. In this paper, we simulated the change of the benefit by the further development of road networks in the Tokyo Metropolitan area with the different assumptions. As result, we found that including induced/developed traffic does not change user benefit a lot, while CO₂ emission are subject to much more change compared to the conventional way.
