Abstract

Transport modeling is a tool to evaluate the consequences of infrastructure projects, to compute the traffic volumes and to predict changes in traffic flows, modal shares and possible bottlenecks in the transport network.

National transport modeling includes creating base models, to be adapted depending on the usage. The accuracy of base models depends on the national needs. Local, cantonal, regional and urban models are complementary to national transport models and allow differentiated approaches according to territorial specificities.

In collaboration with the Federal Office of Transport FOT and the Federal Roads Office FEDRO, the Federal Office for Spatial Development ARE has created a multimodal base model for passenger traffic for rail and road. Similarly, a national model for goods has recently been created and an aggregate method for freight has been developed.
