Overview
Background & policy context:
This was one of a series of projects which developed and enhanced the Vehicle Market Model for the UK Department for Transport.
Objectives:
Research and development of a model which could be used to predict which part of the existing vehicle fleet would survive from year to year and which part would be scrapped.
Methodology:
The following methodology was applied:
- Literature review of scrappage models;
- Derivation of a 'core' survival rates from data;
- Stated preference surveys of car and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) owners to elicit information about intentions to scrap and replace and the factors affecting these decisions;
- Development of a computer model.
