Re-estimation of the Sydney strategic travel model

The Transport Data Centre (TDC) of the NSW Department of Transport operates the Sydney Strategic Travel Model (STM), which is used to obtain forecasts of travel demand in the Sydney region. It has been recognised for some time that the STM is not appropriate for the analysis of current transport policy and planning issues and that the model requires a number of enhancements to improve its forecasts and application in the current policy environment. In 1996 the Department commissioned a consortium to design a travel demand modelling system that would provide outputs suitable for the needs of government for relevant and timely analysis of current transport and land use policies. In 1998, the HCG consortium was commissioned to implement the first of a series of studies that will be carried out to re-estimate the STM.
