This study examines the measures to prevent terrorist attacks with vehicles to improve the evidence on attacks that have occurred since 2013 and understand what measures could be employed to prevent or mitigate such attacks in the future.
The report sets out a series of 7 technological roadmaps to reduce and remove direct emissions from the UK's domestic transport by 2050.
Domestic tourism benefits both the broader UK economy as well as stakeholders in a specific destination. To help understand the factors that influence people's decisions to take domestic holidays, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) commissioned RAND Europe to provide evidence in this area, with a special focus on the impact of publicly funded domestic tourism marketing.
RAND Europe and partners were commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) to update and enhance their strategic transport model, the Model of Travel in London (MoTiON). This report documents RAND Europe's work on the mode-destination choice models, which included increasing the responsiveness of the models to changes in monetary cost and introducing a new bus propensity segmentation into the model specifications.
RAND Europe and partners were commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) to update and enhance their strategic transport model, the Model of Travel in London (MoTiON). This report documents RAND Europe's work on the frequency models, which included change to the travel day definition from an average weekday to an average weekday during school term time to better represent the peak levels of demand on London's highway and public transport networks
An evaluation of the current state of research and practice in regional pedestrian and bicycle demand modelling for both commute and noncommute trips. The results of the study were connected to planning needs and practice.
RAND Europe and partners were commissioned by Transport for London (TfL) to develop a new strategic travel model for London, the New Demand Model (NDM). This will be used to develop strategic land use and transport policy scenarios to assist with prioritisation and supporting the case for investment in London's transport systems. This report documents RAND Europe's work to develop new mode-destination choice models for the NDM.
In this review a substantial database of diversion-factor evidence was collated. Little recent evidence on bus fare and generalised journey time elasticities was identified. Recommendations are provided, based on analysis of the available evidence. In general, we find that the evidence on diversion factors is very diverse, covering a wide range of mainly metropolitan geographies, trip purposes, journey types and alternative transport options.
Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, this study found improving transportation connectivity has a positive impact on multilateral trade. Assuming that this relationship is causal, with the proposed level of investment in transport infrastructure in the BRI region, total trade volumes increase not only in the China Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) region, but also in the countries outside the initiative.
By using both qualitative and quantitative analysis, this study found improving transportation multimodal connectivity has a positive impact on multilateral trade across countries and regions along China Belt and Road Initiative.
A literature review on the evidence for induced travel demand arising from road capacity improvements, to help understand their effect and where this occurs. The findings will inform the development of the second Roads Investment Strategy.
An evidence assessment to develop an understanding of traffic growth trends, as well as the factors driving them, highlighting the extent that various changes have affected car usage and ownership.
In recent years, Indonesia has re-conceptualised its identity as a maritime nation whose livelihood both derives from and depends upon the sea, evidenced by President Joko Widodo's Global Maritime Fulcrum and Sea Policy proposals. This study identifies the threats and priority areas for Indonesia in the maritime security domain as a first step in an overall assessment of capability requirements and gaps
This study uses a stated choice experiment to quantify travellers' willingness to pay for a tolled tunnel in Copenhagen. Discrete choice models are used to quantify travellers' value of travel time savings. The discrete choice models take account of systematic heterogeneity in terms of traveller and trip characteristics and random heterogeneity.
This report documents the development of the mode-destination models that form part of the South East Wales Transport Model (SEWTM). The South East Wales mode-destination models were developed by transferring the mode-destination models developed for the PRISM West Midlands model to South East Wales.
This report documents the methodology and estimation results of the frequency model components of the South East Wales Transport Model (SEWTM). Frequency models have been estimated for seven home-based tour purposes. Models were also developed for work and non-work related non-home-based tours and detours.
This report documents the implementation of the demand models that form part of the South East Wales Transport Model (SEWTM). The model implementation structure and the mode-destination choice model parameters have been transferred from the strategic model developed for the West Midland region, PRISM West Midlands.
The paper should assist the transport modellers and policy makers in choosing appropriate trip frequency modelling tools which best suit their problem.
This report documents work to update the UK Department for Transport's national car ownership models (NATCOP) to reflect a 2011 base year, and to enhance the models to take account of DfT's experience in applying the previous version of the 2001 base models. The model enhancements include representing separate Inner and Outer London area types, adding a population density term, and developing a licence cohort model.
Review of the rail demand forecasting methods used by government, the study was completed in 2 phases.
