Important results from the project
Expected long term effects
The project has delivered a climate-sensitive decision support tool for freight transport planning. The tool is expected to continue to contribute to analyses and research efforts, enabling more robust and well-founded planning data. The development of a freely available freight transport model has potential to strengthen Swedish research and innovation in the climate and transport area. The openness of the model fosters development and collaboration across disciplines and organizations.
Approach and implementation
This was a quantitative research project that followed four steps: (1) problem analysis, (2) modeling, (3) implementation, and (4) testing and validation. The work was done in close collaboration with the Swedish Transport Administration. The work was also presented at scientific seminars to share subject knowledge and receive feedback. The focus was on using data and models that work together with the Swedish Transport Administration´s existing planning tools.
