Abstract In 1979, the Transportation Systems Center (TSC), under sponsorship of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA), began a program of research directed toward improving the understanding of the role of transportation in society, in particular with respect to patterns of travel, location, and development. As a major element of the program, innovative approaches to defining, structuring, or solving the problems were sought from the research community. This report contains seven study design reports prepared by six research firms who were awarded contracts to produce detailed work plans for refining and demonstrating proposed innovative analytic approaches to understanding transportation/societal interactions. The seven approaches and corresponding contractors are: (1) Cambridge Systematics-Residential Housing and Location Model; (2) DAA Enterprises-Systems Dynamics Model; (3) Futures Group Probabilistic Systems Dynamics Model; (4) Interchange Analysis of Demography, Housing, and Transportation; (5) Interchange-Micro-Economic Model; (6) Research Triangle Institute-Comparative Analysis of Urban Spatial Structures; and (7) University of Illinois-Societal Linkages Model.
