The article discusses the development of new models for commuting and school travel in the UK. The researchers aimed to improve existing models by considering factors like production-attraction, school admissions policy, and parental choice. They used data from the East Midlands region to create more accurate destination choice models for commuters and pupils. The new models help in testing policies like parental school choice and green travel plans, and may lead to better public transport services in the future. The researchers found that by refining these models, they can better understand and predict travel patterns for both work and school trips.
