Spatial Planning and Research
LOB iC has profound know-how in the field of regional land use and development concepts which take into consideration the correlation between land use and traffic. Special emphasis is on the assessment of potential business and industrial locations in view of regional planning by means of the accessibility-based grid model for spatial analysis (ERRAM). Further issues are the evaluation of the quality of life on the local level, impact analyses and the assessment of infrastructure measures, the evaluation of the effect of regional development on regional economic assessments in the field of regional and traffic planning as well as the calculation of consequential costs arising as a result of errors in regional planning. Further important parts of this field of activity are accessibility models and analyses for both public and individual transport.
