With increasing travel demand it is becoming a priority for many European regions and cities to identify and implement appropriate Traffic Demand Management (TDM) policies and strategies. TDM aims at managing travel patterns by a range of measures to influence the generation of transport demand and its distribution on different transport modes, within the respective transport network.

The assessment of the impacts and benefits from TDM are essential to reduce the risk of making costly and wrong decisions. There is still a need to apply existing assessment tools more appropriately. In particular integrated application of tools, which may achieve more realistic results and increase efficiency of assessment, is generally lacking in project assessment activities.
