THE NIMS SYSTEM AND ITS USE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT PLANNING

NIMS-SYSTEMET OCH NAAGOT OM DESS ANVAENDNING I KOLLEKTIVTRAFIKPLANERING

The nims system is a computerised planning system, adaptable to conditions in individual municipalities, comprising methods and programs whereby data bases can be constructed and maintained, analyses performed and information presented statistically or graphically. Geographical location of reference objects is an essential element of the system; this is related to population, business data, etc. The system can be used for public transport planning. Data concerning population and employment on a zonal basis are fed into traffic models. These are used for analyses of bus service availability, accessibility of service facilities, the standard of service, etc. The system has also been used for simulation of the taxi-bus system. /TRRL/
