NetworkModel PBL

This wiki describes the network model of PBL. The model computes trips by public transport, by car, by bicycle and on foot. The wiki describes the version of 2025, which simulates public transport in a new way. PBL, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, used the older method in two reports: Toegang voor iedereen? (2022) and Beter bereikbaar? (2024). That method is described here.
