Research snapshot

 

The National and Regional Land Transport Demand models were developed between 2011 and 2012. They are tools to assess how transport demand will evolve over time on a static and stochastic basis. The models were developed using MATLAB software which is not used by most analysts. The models have been recoded using Stata, a more user-friendly software. The note is published with the recoded data files.
