Transportation modelling for model walking and cycling communities

This paper discusses an innovative approach to the development and application of a multi-modal wide-area transportation simulation model of Hastings and Havelock North, New Zealand, built on behalf of Hastings District Council. This model formed a key element in Hastings District Council's successful bid to become the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) Model Community for walking and cycling, for which they have been awarded NZ$3.5m funding. The analysis undertaken using the simulation model was essential for the economic evaluation of the potential benefits of implementing cycling and walking schemes in and around Hastings. This paper provides a link between the what, how and why of designing a methodology for sustainable integrated land-use transportation modelling
