The road network is utilised daily by communities and plays an important role in the economic development and defence system of a nation. Transport planning is essential in road network development to assist decision makers in selecting alternatives to be considered and in explaining the reasons for selecting an alternative to the public. Evaluation and transport demand modelling are the basis of transport planning. In the evaluation step, alternatives are analysed in order to value the merit of alternatives and to decide when the selected alternative/s should be implemented. Transport demand modelling is applied to estimate the effects of alternatives on transport demand. The development of an evaluation system and transport demand model in this research accounts for several factors usually found in developing countries such as the lack of qualified professional planners and technical resources, reliability and availability of data, and stability of land use structure and economic condition. / Thesis (PhDTransportSystemsEngineering)--University of South Australia, 2006.
