The DMT's Strategic Transportation Evaluation and Assessment Model (STEAM) is a sophisticated multimodal travel demand tool that uses AI and Big Data analytics to support the decision-making process in the Emirate. The model uses demographic and economic information in addition to numerous sources of data from surveys, traffic systems and external stakeholders. People's behaviour and their travel patterns are captured to create a complex mathematical model that reflects the current conditions and forecasts future travel patterns. STEAM is the official tool for Abu Dhabi Emirate to make informed decisions about land use development, the transportation system and transport policy changes. It is able to model travel demand patterns across the transportation system for any combination of scenarios in the forecast horizon years (2020,2025,2030 and 2040). STEAM is used by many internal and external stakeholders to study infrastructure requirements. This tool has been successfully used to test over 60 Billion Dirhams' worth of schemes, policies and initiatives (such as whether and when to expand a road, build a tunnel, implement a toll, or build a metro). |
