MEDEE-Transport: Long term demand prospective model dedicated to national and regional transport.

MEDEE-Transport has been designed by Enerdata under an ADEME research project to support policy decisions in the field of national and regional transport, in relation to their impacts on energy and environment. Mainly dedicated to policy evaluation purposes, MEDEE-Transport fills a gap in the existing evaluation tools and methodologies for transport policies as to the spatial allocation of traffics and related energy and environment consequences.

MEDEE-Transport includes the following functionalities:

• simulation of origin/destination inter-regional traffics for passengers and freight, including import/export and transit traffics, by infrastructure and mode
  
• simulation of urban and intra-regional passengers and freight traffics, according to city sizes, by infrastructure and mode
  
• simulation of vehicle stock changes, according to vehicle vintage, type, motor-fuel and power; allocation of traffics among vehicle categories
  
• calculation of future motor-fuel requirements by infrastructure, mode and category
  
• calculation of related emissions of CO2 and pollutants, allocation per region
  
  

For policy and strategic purposes MEDEE-Transport is used in two steps:

• First to produce a view of what will be the consequences, for the whole country and the country regions, of current socio-economic and technological evolutions, as well as the current transport policies (the so-called "base-line" scenario):
  
  • transport demand
    
  • modal repartition of trips and traffics
    
  • stocks of vehicles
    
  • associated energy consumption and the related emissions
    
  • externalities resulting of the traffic
    
• Second, to evaluate the change induced by policy measures as compared to the "base-line" situation.
