A land use transport modeling framework called PECAS, which represents Production, Exchange, Commodity Allocation System (PECAS) is introduced here. The virtue of such a system is that it places the transportation planning in the context of the whole economy by considering the fundamental root of transport demand, which is the exchange of goods, services, and labor among various activities, such as industries, services, households, and government. PECAS consists of the following three modules: Activity Allocation (AA), Space Development (SD) and Transport Supply (TS) and is linked to an aspatial regional economic model. This paper describes the design and development of such a model for the Province of Alberta, Canada in terms of its data sources, novelty, and strategies for further calibration. The framework has been applied to a number of cities, states, and provinces in North America, and it is introduced here as a better planning tool to their counterparts in China.
