ABSTRACT In a series of papers in the mid-1960s and early 70s, building on his key 1967 paper, Alan Wilson made a series of fundamental contributions to the specification and application of land-use transport models. In this paper the basis of his entropy-maximizing approach to spatial distribution models is outlined with a demonstration that the methods have applications very much beyond its transport roots. The entropy maximization method laid the foundations for the development of a range of multinomial logit share models. He expanded the core transport ideas to the whole range of comprehensive models, initially building on, and extending, Lowry's iconic Pittsburgh model. The factors that have sustained the longevity of Wilson's models are explored and articulated.

艾伦威尔逊爵士对空间相互作用和运输建模的贡献

摘要 在 1960 年代中期和 70 年代初的一系列论文中，Alan Wilson 以他 1967 年的关键论文为基础，对土地利用交通模型的规范和应用做出了一系列基础性贡献。在本文中，他概述了空间分布模型的熵最大化方法的基础，并证明了这些方法的应用远远超出了其传输根源。熵最大化方法为一系列多项 logit 份额模型的开发奠定了基础。他将核心运输理念扩展到整个综合模型范围，最初建立并扩展了洛瑞的标志性匹兹堡模型。探索和阐明了维持威尔逊模型长寿的因素。
