Overview
Background & policy context:
Various policy measures are available to help control traffic congestion and pollution problems. Typically, local planners wish to model their effects before implementation. Many computer models exist, but it is not yet clear which sort of model is the most suitable for assessing each type of measure or package of measures.
Objectives:
AIUTO aimed to develop a framework of models and methods for the simulation and evaluation of Transport Demand Management (TDM) measures. TDM policies include:
- pricing measures, e.g. road pricing, parking charges, public transport fares and cordon charges;
- regulatory measures, e.g. zone access control, parking restrictions, traffic calming and priority for public transport measures;
- supply systems, e.g. park & ride and dial-a-ride.
