About

Highways England awarded a contract to Ove Arup for an extension to traffic modelling and economic assessment for Tranche 5 and 6 Smart Motorway schemes in the Midlands Region, valued at £215,797.84.

The work involved producing a full range of PCF products for all schemes, including package-specific reduced Appraisal Specification Reports, ComMA Reports combining traffic data collection, local model validation, traffic forecasting, and economic assessment, and ASTs for each scheme.

Direct model outputs such as calibrated/validated base year traffic model outputs, forecast traffic model outputs, and economic appraisal results were also required.

A Handover Report with a lessons learnt log and feedback to the RTM Maintenance team was to be provided at the conclusion.
