#HighwaysHack - Data sets

We are only two weeks away from #HighwaysHack. We've already described the three challenges in a previous blog post so now is a good time to give you an idea of the data that already exist and some that will become available for #HighwaysHack. We've collated links to Highways England datasets on data.gov.uk and datasets on Data Mill North into handy lists for strategy/planning, traffic/flow/accidents/road works, infrastructure, public transport, other.

National Transport Model
The National Transport Model (NTM) provides a systematic means of comparing the national consequences of alternative national transport policies or widely-applied local transport policies. These policies can be compared against a range of background scenarios which take into account major factors affecting future patterns of travel.
