Land Development Risk Analysis for the Statewide Mobility System  

This effort will develop and test a model to forecast ten-year land development on the 5,700-mile Statewide Mobility System. The effort will integrate diverse sources of data in a map-based approach: population and employment, conservation and preservation and other defined-use parcels, geometry and terrain, and real-estate transactions. The effort will compare the forecasts to existing access-point densities. The resulting capability will provide improved awareness for VDOT of where needed transportation improvements are influenced by land development and support for VDOT in a process to minimize the impacts of land development to transportation systems.

This research is performed by the University of Virginia Center for Risk Management of Engineering Systems sponsored by the Transportation and Mobility Planning Division of the Virginia Department of Transportation, and by the Virginia Transportation Research Council.
