Development of the Dutch National and Regional Models

Over the last 20 years the strategic transport models of the Ministry of Public Works and Water Management were built using a hierarchical approach with a National Model and Regional Models using the same modeling principles. Due to freedom in several modeling options there are more differences between the existing models than nowadays desirable. The paper describes the building of the new generation of the national and regional models using maximum consistency. It will start with the motivation why we use a system of consistent models at national and regional level in the Netherlands. The paper will describe the main principles of the models (marginal approach using Base matrices and a Pivot procedure based on multi-modal discrete choice models with time of day choice). The focus of the paper will be on the realization of the base matrices, how consistency between the models was achieved, which choices, and why, where made during the process of developing the base matrices. The paper will discuss the latest generation of strategic transport models in The Netherlands.
