## Notice

The Client's overarching objective is to create a set of updated, second generation Regional Traffic Models (RTM2). These RTMs will support a clear set of high level objectives, namely: - to provide the basis for the development and appraisal of RIS2 and subsequent RIS pipeline schemes. It is envisaged that the models will support the schemes in two alternative ways: - PCF Stage 0 assessments, which will make use of the regional models "as is"; or - PCF Stage 1-3 assessments, which will use the models as the foundation of more localised models to enable the required outputs to be generated. - to ensure that Highways England has access to a set of regional models built using a common approach, common data sources and software to ensure consistency in modelling; and - to support wider policy work and decision-making across Highways England, including such areas as air quality and wider economy modelling.
