David E. Boyce, Professor Emeritus PhD, University of Pennsylvania, 1965 During 37 years of academic research and teaching, Professor Boyce has addressed key methodological issues related to metropolitan transportation and land use planning. His early monograph, Metropolitan Plan Making, critically examined the experience with the land use and travel forecasting models during the 1960s. Recognizing that these methods lacked an adequate scientific basis, he has since devoted himself to the formulation and solution of urban travel and location forecasting models as constrained optimization problems and related constructs, which synthesize elements of network analysis and modeling, discrete choice theory and entropy-based methods. He also extended this integrated approach to the study of regional economies, interregional commodity flows and freight transportation systems. Currently, he is writing a history of these models, as well as conducting experiments with a new multiple-class traffic assignment algorithm, TAPAS, that uniquely determines route flows and multiple-class links flows. email - web page - 2049 Grey Ave., Evanston, IL 60201 - 847.570.9501 |
