The Waikato regional transportation model

The Waikato Regional Transportation Model was completed in February 2010, and is the first model in the country to attempt to include large urban and rural areas. The development of the model has been described as '..a major success story that positions the region well for future transport planning…'. The paper describes the unique organisational structure adopted by the client organisations, and gives an overview of the technical form of the models, highlighting the methodology adopted, including data collection, model calibration and validation. It details some of the issues that were faced during the build process, and discusses the ways in which problems that arose were overcome.
