What are Transport and Traffic Models? • Choices
Route Time of Day Destination Origin Mode Dunfermline
Choices on personal travel • When do I leave? • What route to take? • How will I get there? • How often? (or not at all) • Where am I going? • Where am I?
Wider influences on personal travel • Active Choice • Lifestyle (e.g. car, motorbike, cycle ownership) • Limited Choice • Employment, income, household composition, household location • Fixed • Age, sex, health
Destination Mode Transport Model Life, the Universe and Everything Land-Use Model Traffic Model Origin Quick Route Small Aggregation Time of Day Response Time Slow Large
Terminology • Exogenous • The model does not vary the user inputs • Endogenous • The model does vary the user inputs
Land Use / Transport Interaction • National Model • Transport Model for Scotland (TMfS) • combined with • Transport and Economic Land-use Model of Scotland (TELMoS) • SPT • Strathclyde Integrated Transport Model (SITM) • combined with • Strathclyde Integrated Transport and Land-Use Model (SITLUM)

How do we use them? • Active • Testing different policies and interventions • Passive • Reporting
Active Model Use • What do you want to test? • What responses do you need to happen? • How will you decide between Options?
Passive Model Use • What information do you need to report?
Base Data • Supply • What is the existing infrastructure? • Houses, Retail Parks, Roads, Buses, Trains, Parking etc. • Demand • Who is going to use it? • People and Goods
Forecasting • What changes do you want to make? • Don’t forget to check what the neighbours are doing! • Remember there are things changing that we can’t control (e.g. ageing, fuel prices)
