Measuring density and diversity to model travel behavior in Indian context

Land Use Policy, 2019, vol. 88, issue C

Abstract: We propose Total Activity Density (TAD) and Weighted Index of Dissimilarity (WID) as indicators of density and diversity against the conventional indicators of population density and non-residential to residential ratio, respectively. The proposed indicators account for complementary land uses i.e. residential and non-residential activities that serve as origins and destinations in the home-based trip, respectively.
