Modelling
The LATIS modelling capability is currently the largest and most sophisticated multi-modal transport modelling suite in Scotland and the models, along with their underlying data are a central component of Scotland’s transport planning toolkit.
The LATIS modelling capability suite consists of:
- Transport Model for Scotland (TMfS) - a multi-modal transport demand and assignment model that incorporates an integrated Economic and Land-use Model; and
- Transport, Economic and Land-use Model of Scotland (TELMoS) – an Economic and Land-use Model which works interactively with TMfS.
The key capabilities of the LATIS modelling suite are:
- to test how potential land-use changes affect demand for transport and what impact they have on accessibility, the economy and the environment;
- to test how transport interventions and policies impact on land development, accessibility, the economy and the environment; and
- to assist in prioritisation of changes and interventions.
For further details about the modelling suite, its capabilities, past and present uses and its future development please folow the links to our Modelling portal at www.tmfs.org.uk.
