The Urban Transportation Planning Process (UTPP) involves the sequential tasks of defining a study area and predicting travel demand for the study area. Since the amount of travel demand estimated is a function of the definition of the study area, an iterative travel demand estimation procedure is proposed utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze disaggregate socio-economic and land-use data in order to form optimal transportation analysis zones. Benefits of this approach include standardization of network building tasks as well as provision of a mechanism that facilitates network modification caused by changes in data over time.
