Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
This project will develop a calibrated and validated model as a practical tool, which will primarily aid planners to make strategic land use decisions at the county level, to determine the impact of these strategies in terms of personal travel and travel related energy and emissions. The tool will be designed to be easy to use, to use existing data where possible to minimise the need for special data collection, and to use relatively inexpensive technology already widely used within the local authority sector.The project builds on current UCL work to develop a model (ESTEEM), which assesses the personal travel, energy consumption and emissions, of new developments. The model still requires some research and development work to make it into a marketable product and a viable tool for use by planning departments at the county and district levels.This project aims to complete that work by expanding the number of trip purposes included within the model and by improving the integrity of the model. Secondly, a series of ready-made scenarios will be developed, allowing users to model the effects of a number of different development policies. Finally, a windows-based user interface will be developed, which will include online documentation.
