In recent projects Rebecca Jegou has been supporting Atkins in a number of transport modelling projects in Bristol and elsewhere in the South West of England, helping to audit and progress models. She has also been assisting in projects for the Department of Transport aimed at enabling the effort of model development to be more proportionate to the scale of schemes to be assessed using the models. Martin Bach has been working with PBA for a model of the Brighton area that integrates OmniTRANS, SATURN, and DIADEM modelling systems. Andrew Last has continued to be heavily involved in concessionary fares activity, having been an adviser to the Institute for Transport Studies team at the University of Leeds who are responsible for a major research project on behalf of the Department for Transport. Amongst other inputs, he and Miles Logie have contributed some innovative analysis of large smartcard-derived travel databases giving detailed information about concessionary passholder travel patterns. Andrew has provided advice to a number of Travel Concession Authorities, and his analysis has formed the basis of briefing material on expenditure trends developed for the Local Government Association and the Passenger Transport Executive Group. He has continued to support a number of individual Passenger Transport Executives and transport concession authorities by advising on concessionary travel reimbursement authorities. Miles Logie has been advising and supporting Leicestershire County Council in the development of their regional land-use transport model (LLITM) being undertaken by AECOM, Scott Wilson, and David Simmonds Consultancy. Miles Logie and Rebecca Jegou developed an OmniTRANS-based modelling system for use on projects by Masters students at the London Centre for Transport Studies. This included provision of synthesised datasets to support calibration of discrete choice models by the students, in this case using BIOGEME software, which are then used by the OmniTRANS model.
