Land Use Model

I think the UT team makes the best point at the end of their 1st deliverable document, “While more complex models tend to track more behaviors of interest, and thereby offer more outputs of interest, their added complexity is not a guarantee of added accuracy.”
I would be glad to make a suggestion on an analysis area in North Central Texas and provide the associated data. I would also like to see more details of what they plan on doing as part of deliverable two once they figure it out.


URBANSIM and PECAS are the two most advanced models out there and several MPO’s are using or investigating them.
