Port Canaveral Case Study Essay
In cases where the new zone structure (next TAZ splits) parallels to household and employment data, other elements should be distributed during the split of the TAZ. Some of the common elements such as Hotel, schools and special generators include airport facility, regional shopping malls, universities and seaport facility. In our case study Port Canaveral considers as special generators, because the major activity centers within the port possibility generate a large number of trips. Geographical data on these facilities include cruise terminal, fuel storage, intermodal facility, parking lots and various recreational facilities may not be readily available, but require judgement utilized of available data when TAZ splits. According to (RADTAZF_2007)
" In cases where there are multiple generators located in a single zone and that zone had to be split, then one can obtain or assess data on the sizes of these generators based on professional judgment/knowledge to determine the distribution". Despite the fact that the number of these generators are few inside the study area, but visually identify them and this necessitates a mechanism to use land use information in concurrence with available data to evaluate the split process and make the proper decision.
