Overview

The Ministry has a lead role in shaping New Zealand’s transport system. We want to improve the way we plan and evaluate changes to the transport system over the long term.

The Ministry is looking for a partner with expertise in agent-based transport modelling, particularly for countries with similar geographical and economic characteristics as New Zealand. We want to understand changing behaviours in the transport system that arise as a result of changing policy, regulation, or investment, so we are considering an activity-based model.

We want to build new strategic modelling capability at the Ministry, centered on an agent-based, activity-based, multi-modal, national-scale simulation model of transport to test the impact of different policies, regulation, and investment.

We are seeking a strategic partner to collaboratively undertake two stages of work: Stage 1: Co-design and planning of a transport simulation, which the Ministry can use to guide and evaluate future transport policy and investment; Stage 2: Begin co-development of a minimal viable product, according to the plan established in Stage 1.
