TRANSPORTATION MODELLING IN PRACTICE: CONNECTING BASIC THEORY TO PRACTICE WERNER HEYNS1 & SIMON VAN JAARSVELD2 1 Aurecon Pty Ltd, Pretoria, South Africa 2 Arup Pty Ltd, Johannesburg, South Africa ABSTRACT TRANSPORTATION planning and MODELLING can appear to be a complex process when first encountered. TRANSPORTATION planning is a process that develops information to help make decisions on the future development and management of TRANSPORTATION systems. It involves the determination of the need for new or expanded highways, public transport systems, freight facilities, TRANSPORTATION terminals, their location, their capacity and the management of their demand. Typically, TRANSPORTATION planning involves a forecast of travel patterns and demand 15 to 25 years into the future with an aim to develop a future TRANSPORTATION system that will support spatial growth at that time. Travel demand occurs as a result of thousands of individual travellers making individual decisions on how, where and when to travel.
