Why model transport?
How do you model the movement of people and goods from origins to destinations, and the resulting impact on the transport network?

Future modelling opportunities
Summary
Transport Modelling is very important in order to: • Understand current conditions • Identify improvements • Assess improvement options • Present options to key decision makers
/ stakeholders • Improve transport provision
Three Key Modelling tools have been presented, although many others exist: • Wide area modelling • Local area modelling • GIS / accessibility
Modelling tools have not caught up with changing technology. Many opportunities to influence and change
current approaches and techniques
