Details

This document introduces agent-based methods and activity-based demand modelling and explains where these approaches could be considered. These alternative methods emerge from evolving requirements in transport modelling, as there is desire to understand the broader impacts of transport interventions or policies.

TAG unit M5.4 can be used when practitioners are considering approaches for strategic planning, exploring policy options and gathering evidence for strategic cases at the very early stage of business cases.

TAG provides information on the role of transport modelling and appraisal, and how the transport appraisal process supports the development of investment decisions to support a business case.
