OPTIMAL TRANSPORT PRICING FOR DUBLIN

This paper reports on part of the Irish input to the TRENEN project established under the JOULE II Research Programme of the EU on non-nuclear energy, where the main objectives of the Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Department of Trinity College Dublin (TDC) and Steer Davies Gleave (SDG) team were: a) to establish the best functional form for a flow delay relationship for input to the urban optimisation model (TRENEN) using the SATURN-SATCHMO model of Dublin compiled during the Dublin Transportation Initiative (Steer Davies Gleave, 1994), b) to calibrate the TRENEN model for Dublin, and c) to examine methods of combining the use of an aggregate economics model such as TRENEN with a conventional transport network model to address the optimal combination of price and regulatory policies in the energy-environment and transport domain. The part of the work on which this paper reports is the calibration for Dublin and one of the case studies conducted using a combination of the two urban models. As the models are, by their nature, quite different in approach, direct comparisons are difficult but one means of possible comparison is by examination of modal split which is a direct output of both models.
