A simplified model was developed in 2008 to provide a policy and strategy options testing capability. This model is called the Strategy Review Model (SRM) and where possible, this builds on outputs produced by conventional transport models.
The SRM model is available in three principal forms:
A single zone macro-scale model (SRM Urban-Metropolitan Model). This also has a companion facility called the ‘national compiler’ to produce national forecasts when required.
A multi-zone model intended for corridor based studies (SRM Inter-zonal Model). This has a companion cost-benefit analysis facility that can be used to evaluate infrastructure improvements and public transport service options.
An educational interactive version has also been developed (SRM Communications Model). This is now available via the internet to represent the effects of national policy and strategy options over the period 2007-2015
