On 2013, as part of the "ASSIST project" managed by the European Commission, a dedicated version of the ASTRA model (the ASTRA-EC model) was developed in order to provide an instrument to make strategic transport policy analysis, allowing users to analyse the social impacts of policies together with economic and environmental impacts. The ASTRA-EC model has a guided user interface where several leverages can be set to simulate policy scenarios and output can be read and compared in graphical or tabular format and exported for further analysis.
The following deliverables of the “ASSIST project” provide an overview on the ASTRA-EC model and its functionalities.
Description of the ASTRA-EC
model and of the user interface
The deliverable D4.2 of ASSIST outlines the structure and the features
of the ASTRA-EC model and of the user interface. Each module is described
in its theoretical structure and main linkages, reporting the main conceptual
equations.The list of policies available for simulation and their impact
in the model is also included.
The ASTRA-EC model user guide
The document is an extract of deliverable D6.1 of ASSIST, describing how
to operate with the model through the user interface: reporting a description
of the model structure, how to set simulations of policies, reading results
and comparing different scenarios.
