LATIS Models - Post COVID Validity

Description

The national and sub-national suite of transport models (TMfS, SRM, SRTM, TCRTM, ASAM, MFTM) developed and maintained by Transport Scotland in partnership with the Regional Transport Partnerships are important tools in the development of the business cases and design of transport interventions across Scotland. All of the models have a base year which predates the COVID pandemic. If travel patterns and behaviours are significantly different post-pandemic then the models may no longer be ‘fit for purpose’ resulting in poor intervention selection and design. To inform the magnitude of this risk and any necessary mitigation, a post-COVID model validation exercise is being done. Call off from Transport Scotland LATIS Framework Lot 1
