21. NeISS Infrastructure – Exemplars Each synthetically generated member of a population in a city, region or neighbourhood can be linked, e.g. to BHPS, by matching their demographic characteristics. From this process, additional characteristics can be assigned to the synthetic database using the profiles in the BHPS. The power of this lies in the fact that while the PRM generates in the order of 10 demographic and household attributes, the BHPS has over a thousand attribute fields. In this way, many spatial patterns can be newly inferred. Distribution of elderly people around Newcastle
22. NeISS Infrastructure – Exemplars DSM uses a series of sub-models representing key demographic transitions, e.g. marriage, migration, pro-creation, death and so forth Dynamic simulation showing proportional population change between 2001 and 2031 in Birmingham.
23. NeISS Infrastructure – Exemplars Three scenarios – congestion charging, road pricing and promotion of non-vehicular alternatives to commuting. For example, would policies on financial alternatives to leave a car at home and travel to work by bicycle actually work? Float idea to general public via tools like SurveyMapper – use results to gauge public response and inform policy makers, and as basis for calibration of simulation tools. Traffic scenarios
