As transport planning activities have shifted in emphasis towards
sustainability and reducing car-dependence, public transport has
increased its relevance to clients in both the public and private
sector. Minnerva has been involved in a number of public transport
projects, drawing on our understanding of public transport planning
issues, as well as our appreciation of the potential for maximising
value from existing data sources and models.
We have fulfilled a variety of roles, in some instances providing
services direct to end-clients, and in others enhancing the capabilities
of other consultancies. Projects in which we have primarily established
models or data-analysis capabilities to facilitate public transport
planning are described elsewhere (in particular, see:
TfL Data
Synthesis
Chelmsford
Luton-Dunstable
Tfl Metadata
Medway Transport Modelling Strategy Development
In the projects listed to the right, our role has primarily been
to provide advice and guidance rather than model building as
such. We have been involved in a variety of public transport topics,
including:
Forecasts of the performance of proposed public transport
services or projects
Development of schemes, and strategies
for successful implementation
The scope for improvement in public transport quality, and identification
of the likely consequences of change. |
