With autonomous car, mobility as a service (MaaS), intelligent transport systems (ITS), alternative fuels and electric vehicles, things are moving fast in road transport.
How to deal with the ever more rapid emergence of new technologies in a sector whose assets are designed for long lifetimes of 30 plus years, and how to harness such technologies to contribute to common transport policy objectives are questions that more and more road authorities are seeking answers to.
The outputs from a Transport Model can provide essential insight into the understanding of an existing or future transport problem, thereby supporting infrastructure design and operational planning. A transport model can also identify the likely impacts that will result from a proposed project, strategy or Transport/Environmental Policy. As such, the Transport Model plays an essential role as a decision-support tool, providing relevant and accurate information into planning and decision making.
