The connection between behavioral travel demand models and the geometry of the metropolitan transport network is described, followed by the consideration of fractal geometry as a means of studying a wide range of phenomena, including highway networks. Then a fractal analysis is undertaken of the classes of roads in metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts. This analysis yields one exemplary new insight into travel behavior: a phase shift between highway systems and major and local road systems indicating different trip purposes and scales for analysis.
