Baseline Travel Analysis June 2018

Travel analysis methodology June 2018

The baseline journey time analysis estimates current journey times for residents of the CCG areas. It considers:

  • Four time periods: AM peak, PM peak, Interpeak, Off-peak
  • Three modes: car, blue light ambulance, public transport
  • Outputs: maps for each time period and mode; summary tables showing population within travel time bands; all combinations of journeys between a home neighbourhood area and any hospital in scope have been modelled

Method

Modelling software was used to estimate the travel time between origins (the centre of each home neighbourhood*) and destinations (nine hospital locations).

The model created a travel time for each possible origin and destination pair (for all transport modes, in all time periods).
