Abstract
A sketch map in urban planning roughly lays out a physical plan. However, the process of generating sketches has long been viewed as a "black box". The sketch layout model (SLM) was developed in 1999 to improve the efficiency and quality of layout tasks. This model is a nonlinear and multi-objective programming, for analyzing the integrated layouts of land uses, transport network and public facilities. Although the SLM had been developed for three phases and can be applied to real cases, the method still does not distinguish the types of roads in the transport network. This study develops the SLM-IV, a bi-level programming, by integrating the SLM-III and the combined trip distribution/assignment model, to generate a hierarchical network. This improved model can analyze travel demands, and then decide the link type of the network in SLM. A numerical example with relevant sensitivity analysis is presented to verify the operational feasibility and identify the model's characteristics.
