Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Land use modelling is an extension to transport modelling. In the book you can find an introduction, including the Lowry model in section 15.2. Furthermore, two papers are used for this topic:

The first two parts of section 15.2 give an introduction to land use modelling and the Lowry-model. The paper by Wegener and Fürst introduces the concept of Wegener’s circle as well as empirical evidence to support the mechanisms. The article by Zondag et al. gives a detailed description of the TIGRIS XL-model.
