Transportation engineering has taken upon a new role; to empower the alternative
modes of travel: walking, biking, and bus transit. In this new era, engineers are rethinking
a network designed predominately for the automobile. The ultimate goal of this research
is to create a process that can make a vehicle dominant corridor a desirable, livable
thoroughfare by livability design and context sensitive performance measures. Balancing
travel modes requires an account of vehicular traffic and the impact of reconfiguring
existing conditions. The analysis herein is conducted by field data collection,
transportation equations and microsimulation. Simulating traffic behavior will be the
means to apply livable alternatives comparable to existing Southeast Florida conditions.
The results herein have shown that micro-simulation can be utilized in transportation
planning to reveal good livability alternatives. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015 / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
