Dear List Members,
I am looking for an expert on traffic modelling and/or policy making within the
UK to send the following message to. If anyone could help me by providing any
info or contact details then this would be greatly appreciated.
***************************************************************
Currently I am a post-graduate student at the University of South Australia
working towards completing my PhD. My research is related to urban traffic
modelling and travel demand management and I am currently undertaking a review
of International practices.
I would like to report on the types of computer models/modelling procedures
used in the strategic planning process within the UK and how travel demand
management techniques are assessed in the urban transportation forecasting
process. An example of this may be the computer simulation of a vehicle
tolling strategy and the subsequent effect on the traffic patterns of a region.
Are you able to tell me the types of software packages and/or procedures that
you use to assist in policy making (eg. TransCAD, SATURN, TRIPS or other), and
if and how travel demand management measures are included in this process? If
you are able to help in any way or are able to forward this message onto
someone more appropriate, then this would be greatly appreciated and shall
assist the progress of my research.
Kind Regards,
Nick
