Overview
Background & policy context:
The improvement of inter-linkages between different means of transport is
seen as vital in making journeys using combinations of modes more
attractive. In turn, this is expected to reduce environmental damage and
delays due to road traffic congestion. However, there is insufficient
understanding of the determinants of mode and route choice and how these
can be influenced by policy actions. Modelling is one way of investigating
the options at limited cost.
Objectives:
The objectives of STEMM were to:
- develop models of intermodal transport;
- identify barriers to intermodality and appropriate policy actions;
- examine the effects of these policies through modelled case studies.
