Home White Papers Passenger Services Modelling VfM in Rail Franchise Specification
This report examines the findings of The Department for Transport's study on modelling VfM in franchise specification that was initially published in May 2008.
The report reviews the current and future practices in rail franchise specification, and the available, existing demand modelling software and framework.
Current modelling tools, such as MOIRA, CMS passengers (loadings) and network modelling framework, are discussed in the report.
The report provides guidance on long-term model development, re-examination of crowding modelling methodologies and conversion of demand modelling outputs into values suitable for the calculation of economic benefits for appraisal.
