A Modular and Open Testbed for Next-Generation Strategic Travel Models. This project aims to improve evidence-based decision-making in relation to transport policies and investments. It is expected to generate new knowledge about how best to develop next-generation models that can reliably measure and forecast Australia’s transport needs, while taking into account emerging travel options and new technologies. Anticipated outcomes of this project include a new, open-access strategic travel model for the Sydney Greater Metropolitan Area based on activity-based travel demand methods and dynamic traffic assignment. This should provide significant benefits, including more accurate and transparent forecasting of the economic, social and environmental impacts of investments in road infrastructure and public transport.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 3509 - Transportation, Logistics and Supply Chains. Lead: Prof Michiel Bliemer
