Notice Information

Notice Title

Regional Strategic Model

Notice Description

The aim of this project is to provide a step-change improvement in transport planning across the West Midlands, allowing Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) and its partner Local Highway and Transport Authorities to accurately consider comprehensive information and insights about the likely impacts of schemes and policies in the region. It should also provide valuable insight into existing travel behaviours and patterns which are drawn from different sources of basic observations of the transport system and homogenised through the RSM model environment into a single view of movements and demand. Such insights should be structured to provide intelligence which is relevant to a broad cohort of transport planners and that can be used to support the targeted promotion of new mobility services to end users (or modifications to existing services). The expectation is that the RSM will utilise a mixture of existing platforms and/or software products (which may be licensed from the RSM supplier or third parties), and bespoke software/services, or tooling, or processes and protocols.
