1. Introduction
The North Hampshire Transport Model (NHTM) was originally developed in 2013 and HCC recognised that it is approaching a point where an update is required in order to ensure it continues to meet relevant standards and best practice. With this in mind, Hampshire County Council (HCC) commissioned Atkins, as its Strategic Partner, to undertake the upgrade and development of a multi-modal transport model using the latest version of the Visum software suite. The model was developed in 2019 and covers Andover in the west and Fleet in the east, with Basingstoke at the centre. The model, now called NHTM19 includes Highway Assignment Model (HAM), Public Transport Assignment Model (PTAM) along with a Variable Demand Model (VDM) component. The Local Model Validation Report (LMVR) was issued to HCC on 6th July 2020. This Forecasting Report details the development of 2040 forecast year model.
Report Structure The remainder of this report is structured as follows: Chapter 2 – provides an overview of the forecasting approach; Chapter 3 – details the model inputs in terms of demand and supply; Chapter 4 – discusses the development of the future year networks; Chapter 5 – details the development of the future year trip matrices; Chapter 6 – describes VDM overall forecasts; Chapter 7 and 8– present an overview of the key highway and public transport impacts; and Chapter 8 – concludes with a summary and the way forward.

2. Forecasting Approach
This chapter provides an overview of the process adopted to develop the 2040 forecasts, including the modelling of future highway and public transport schemes, developments and constraint to National Trip End Model (NTEM) dataset version 7.2 trip end growth for areas outside the Basingstoke and Dean District Council (BDBC) area. First, headline of the NHTM19 are described.
NHTM19 Base Model Overview The NHTM19 base model is formed of the below model areas with different functionality - Internal: Area of detailed modelling (AoDM); External: Area of Less Detailed Modelling (AoLDM); and Wider External Area.
Table 2-1 below gives details of the model functionality by area type, and Figure 2-1 shows the extent of each area.

Area type Areas Covered HAM PTAM Demand Model characterised by: a buffer schedules are network representing a represented only large proportion of the in south of rest of Great Britain, a AoLDM for partial representation of Southampton demand (trips to, from and Portsmouth and across the Fully Modelled Area); large zones; skeletal networks and simple speed/flow relationships or fixed speed modelling.
Figure 2-1 below shows the extent of each area. The AoDM is shaded Blue and Green, and the AoLDM is shaded in Orange Figure 2-1 - NHTM19 Model Areas
NHTM19 Zoning system
The NHTM19 adopted the existing NHTM zone system with additional disaggregation for zones within Reading to increase the matrix granularity in the northern part of the AoLDM. The zone system follows the principles of zone boundaries, in line with TAG Unit M3.1 (Highway Assignment Modelling), such that zones are smallest in the AoDM and become progressively larger in the AoLDM and External Area.
Zone boundaries in the AoDM are typically based on Output Area (OA) or Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) definitions, with similar Land Use and adherence to natural boundaries such as rivers and railways. In the AoLDM, zone boundaries are consistent with Middle Super Output Areas (MSOAs) with further disaggregation where necessary. The External Zones are largest and increase in size as distance from the Fully Modelled Areas increases.

The NHTM19 zoning system is consistent across the HAM, PTAM and VDM elements of the model. The zoning system has a total of 907 zones divided into the model. Within the AoDM there are five individual zones for train station car parks utilised in the Rail Park and Ride module.

Model time periods
The NHTM19 will represent an average weekday in the neutral month of May 2019. The VDM operates at the daily level but the highway and public transport assignment models will be for the following time periods: AM Peak hour 08:00 to 09:00 – representing the busiest hour of the AM peak period across the study area; Inter-peak 10:00 to 16:00 – an average hour representation across 6 hours of the day, and; PM Peak hour 17:00 to 18:00 – representing the busiest hour of the PM Peak period across the study area. Further details about the justification for the above time periods is provided in the temporal analysis of count data provided in the Data Collection Report (DCR) for NHTM19.
Demand segmentation The HAM represents highway demand with five user classes: UC1 – Car Employer’s Business (EB work); UC2 – Car Commute; UC3 – Car Other; UC4 – Light goods vehicles; and UC5 – Heavy goods vehicles.
Model Forecasting Report | 1.0 | 24 June 2021 Atkins | NHTM19 Forecasting Report_24June2021 Page 12 of 115
The PTAM represents public transport demand with four user classes: Commute; Business; Other; and Education.
The VDM has extensive segmentation of demand, seven trip purposes as follows:

The population is divided into the following segments

This results in 99 demand strata combining demand segments and purposes

Forecasting Scenario A 2040 forecast model for AM Peak hour, Inter-Peak and PM Peak hour has been produced to test the adopted 2029 Local Plan, as detailed below, and used as the basis for future testing of proposals for developments and highway and public transport interventions. The 2040 Do Minimum (DM) - includes land use in the adopted Local Plan (LP) for 2011 – 2029 plus any committed developments with planning permissions and schemes (including North Manydown) within the existing adopted LP with all the necessary mitigation. This also includes committed highway and public transport scheme provided by HCC and Highways England as well as any necessary connections between the developments and the network. Forecasting Approach The overall forecasting process is summarised below with the overall operation of the VDM and the hierarchy of the demand responses within the VDM.
