Transportation Module of Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM): Model Documentation

The objective of this project was to update and refine the transportation module of the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM, formerly MiniCAM). The project broadly encompasses the following four refinements to the transportation sector of GCAM: 1. Increased resolution to include the full spectrum of sub-modes and technologies available in passenger and freight transport; 2. Refined estimates of input parameters so as to better represent real-world heterogeneity in a way consistent with the latest literature on transportation; 3. Refined estimates of base year (2005) estimates of transportation demand, and disaggregation of IEA energy estimates between modes and size classes; 4. Included the non-motorized modes of walking and biking. The purpose of this document is to describe the methodological approaches taken in this update; no results or forecasts from GCAM are given.
