The objectives of the STEMM project were to
- Identify and quantify the factors affecting modal split and route choice for passengers and freight, particularly where intermodal chains are available.
- Develop methodology for modelling intermodal chains for passenger and freight transport.
- Apply the developed methodologies to models representing mode and route choice for European networks and particular case studies.
- .Examine barriers to intermodality arising from institutional and regulatory measures.
- Utilise these models to examine and test policy instruments for increasing the use of intermodal methods of transport.
- To present contributions at seminars on results obtained from investigations of different types of policy instrument
A sophisticated multi-country model of passenger transport has been developed, with innovative representation of non-linear modal choice, integrated multimodal networks, and estimation techniques taking account of variation and correlation in estimation precision. This model has been applied to the Trans-Alpine region, and to the Scan-Link Corridor.
- Advanced tests of the new program options on the business parts of the MAP-1 model revealed potential areas of improvement.
