Abstract
This is a reference guide for the “Modelling Transport Transitions” System Dynamics (SD) model, providing a detailed presentation of the model. Version 1.0 is not a fully validated model and it’s outputs at this stage are not be to viewed as representing plausible transport transition dynamics. Instead, the model provides an initial description of the structure of the transport transitions model and a framework to guide future development.
At it’s current stage of development, the model, and this accompanying report, provide specific indications of the data required to be collected and/or validated for it to become a tool to explore transport transitions in New Zealand. The report also outlines the steps needed for this to occur.
