Describes a vision for updating Qatar's school transportation system and identifies strategies for achieving the proposed vision.

Project

Extending Copenhagen's Traffic Model May Help Reduce Congestion — Feb 9, 2012

RAND Europe is expanding the original traffic model it developed for Copenhagen to include time-of-day choice for car drivers. Doing so will allow city planners to assess the effectiveness of different charging policies aimed at reducing congestion levels.

Report

Sydney Strategic Model Population Synthesiser, 2006 Base — Jan 13, 2012

This report documents work to update the Population Synthesiser component of the Sydney Strategic Model (STM). The Population Synthesiser generates forecasts of the future Sydney population by spatial area and socio-economic segment.

Journal Article

Manchester Motorway Box: Post-Survey Research of Induced Traffic Effects — Jan 1, 2012

In the 1990s, the usual assumption for an appraisal of road schemes in the UK was that total volumes of traffic were not affected by the capacity provided by the schemes. This assumption was questioned by the influential SACTRA committee in 1994.
