Planning Department Agreement No. CE 60/2005 (TP) Land Use Planning for the Closed Area – Feasibility Study Final Report 6 BROAD TECHNICAL ASSESSMENTS 6.1 Introduction In the RDPs, a number of land proposals have been recommended and a broad technical assessment has been undertaken to evaluate the impacts of these proposals. The land proposals in the RDP are technical feasible and they are briefly described in the following sections. 6.2 Transport and Traffic Assessment 6.2.1 Transport Model Development Arup‟s in-house territory transport model was developed using EMME software which comprises a traditional 4-stage model and is compatible with Transport Department‟s Enhanced Comprehensive Transport Study – 3 (ECTS3) model. It has been well-validated to year 2005 by territory-wide cordons and screenlines and major corridors including Tolo Highway. It is hence recommended to adopt this model as a basis and update it using the latest available planning data and land use data for this Study. The model input assumption for this Study has been recorded in the Technical Note– Parameters, Assumptions and Input data of the Traffic Model circulated in November 2007. However, while the transport model for this Study was developing in 2008, the “North East New Territories New Development Areas Planning and Engineering Study – Investigation” (NENT NDA Study) has commenced with a more updated set of planning parameters and input assumptions provided by various government departments which were reported in its Technical Report 3C. Considered the area that will be excised from the FCA is in vicinity of the NDAs, it is better to adopt the same set of planning assumptions as the reference model scenario for consistency. With the availability of the 2006-based Territorial Population and Employment Data Matrices (TPEDM) land use data released and revised by Planning Department (PlanD) in May and July 2008 respectively, the base year model was developed for year 2006 and it was validated to 2006 traffic condition. The model input data for base year model setup, planning input parameter for design years are described in Appendix C. 6.2.2 Planning Data and Network Assumptions The 2006-based Territorial Population and Employment Data Matrices (TPEDM) land use data released and revised by Planning Department (PlanD) in May and July 2008 respectively is adopted in this Study. Planning data for Years 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031 were provided by Planning Department in the NENT NDA Study. The same set of planning data is adopted in this Study for consistency. Summaries of the population and employment planning data by district for the base year 2006 and design years 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031 are presented in Table 6.2.1 and Table 6.2.2 respectively.
