Abstract :Governments adopted the policy of increasing accumulation in cities in order to maximum use of desired lands of city districts and to prevent from city buildings in the environment created subsequent to the horizontal city developments. One of the basic foundations that must be evaluated while the population accumulation of capability increase, is the traction ability of accountability communication network in both public and private transport system to new travels created by any new user introduction. In this paper, we discussed about the relation between accumulation and traffic capacity of city streets with regard to a case study of Imam Khomeini Street in Tabriz city, Iran. This relation has been modeled with Logistic and AHP models. After investigating the service level of the street for 14 consecutive hours it is evident that the traffic is saturated at the peak hours and based on this study the suggestion for density increase is eliminated. Because the density increase is possible when v/c<1 at peak hours while this amount is higher than1 at (11-12) and (18- 19), Thus in order to improve the situation options like the travel building of the usages, the effect of BRT and street parking spaces were addressed.
