The Bristol Area Transport Study (BATS) model was developed by
consultants working on behalf of Bristol City Council, primarily for the
assessment of Road User Charging and Light Rapid Transit. The model has a wide
range of potential uses including option testing for strategic planning,
transport planning, development control and the basis for detailed assessment
of schemes.
BATS is a strategic integrated multi-modal model including sub-models
for both highway and public transport modes and a demand model that can
estimate changes in mode-split in response to changes in transport supply.
Models have currently been developed for a base year, and two forecast
years. The public transport and demand elements use the EMME2 software, while
the highway modelling is carried out with SATURN.
The models extend to the boundary of the former County of Avon, but with
particular detail in the greater Bristol urban area, including the detailed
modelling of junctions.
