TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the development of highway transportation and urban growth in the region of Sao Paulo, Brazil, an area that is undergoing a rapid economic transformation, and investigated the interrelationships between changes in accessibility to the highway network and the growth of urban centres.
Abstract: This study is concerned with the general problem of transportation development and economic change. Specifically, it examines the development of highway transportation and urban growth in the region of Sao Paulo, Brazil, an area that is undergoing a rapid economic transformation. The objective of the analysis is to investigate, for the period 1940 to 1960, the interrelationships between changes in accessibility to the highway network and the growth of urban centres.

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of vehicles, V, exists with elements i = 1,..., m, each of which carries a given initial supply of product, is identified.
Abstract: A family of important problems in spatial economics may be particularized in the following terms. A set of vehicles, V, exists with elements i = 1, ..., m, each of which carries a given initial supply of product. We identify a sequence of ‘legs’, t = 0, 1, ..., N, during which we assume (fictitiously) that vehicle movement occurs. Finally, we specify a set of stations, S, with elements j = 1, ..., n, located at coordinates [x j , y j ] on the plane; for convenience, and without loss of generality, we assume that j = 1, ..., f, f ≤ m, are the initial locations of the vehicles, or the stations at which they are located on Leg 0.
