HGV Traffic Flow Analysis from The GB Freight Model
Client: Connected Places Catapult
Date: 2020
Summary: Supply of data on O-D of long haul HGVs to inform research on decarbonisation
The Questions
• How many HGVs are on the British highways network?
• What is the quantum of their carbon emissions?
• What HGV traffic growth rates are likely up to 2040?
The Solution
• Provided an O-D matrix for HGV flows from the GB Freight Model
• Provided tailpipe GHG emissions related to the HGV movements
• Assigned the HGV flows to the highway network, mapping the results to visualise locations of the flows
• Produced HGV traffic forecasts to 2040
• Analysed the HGV flows by length of haul for 40 links on the highway network
Outcomes
• Informed client’s further research on options for decarbonising HGV flows
• Conclusions published in Transition to Zero-Emission Transport – A Pathway for Long-Haul Heavy Goods Vehicles in March 202
