Broxbourne Transport Strategy Modelling Assumptions
Client nameBroxbourne Borough Council
Project nameCOMET Applications - BroxbourneTransport Strategy and Local PlanMitigation Assessment
DateJune 08 2017
Prepared byAY/FG
1. Introduction
1.1 This technical note discusses assumptions made by AECOM for the Broxbourne Transport Strategy and LocalPlan Mitigation Assessment COMET application. The purpose of this note is to document how the highwayand sustainable transport schemes will be coded in the 2031 COMET Broxbourne Do Something Scenario,ensuring consistency between the WYG and AECOM forecast scenarios in regards to the highway coding.The WYG Broxbourne SATURN model is highway only, therefore does not include the sustainable transportschemes. . An additional Appendix document has been produced to show the Planning Data to be used in thisCOMET scenario for Broxbourne Borough (employment and housing data).
1.2 AECOM have received the Broxbourne Forecast Growth Methodology note, which describes the WYGprocess for forecasting future traffic in Broxbourne in the Broxbourne Highway SATURN model. Whilst it is feltthis methodology is appropriate for the Broxbourne Highway SATURN model, it is not appropriate to use thismethodology for COMET. Planning data for all Hertfordshire districts need to be processed in the same way toensure consistency across the model. In addition, as COMET is a multi-modal model and the processing ofplanning data produces trips for all modes, whereas the WYG methodology produces highway trips only. It isrecommended the planning data is processed using standard COMET practice and WYG have commentedthat they are content with this.
2. Planning Data
2.1 AECOM has been provided with the planning data used in WYG’s Broxbourne Highway SATURN model inorder to ensure the planning data used for the COMET run is consistent. Table 1 summarises the differencesin planning data. Table 2 and Table 4 show the planning data previously used for the Broxbourne Borough inthe original COMET 2031 Local Plan Do Minimum run. Table 3 and Table 5 show the revised planning data asreceived from WYG.
2.2 The completed and committed dwellings and jobs have been updated by BBC and provided back to AECOM.These can be seen in Appendix A and B in the supporting document.
2.3 For Local Plan jobs, planning data has been received in a format containing floor space and land use type. Wehave used the COMET planning data process to convert floor space and land use type into jobs. The factorsused can be seen in Table 3, in the “Area per FTE (Full Time Equivalent) (m2)” column. BBC was providedwith these figures and in some cases jobs have been adjusted and provided back to AECOM. These adjustedjobs are highlighted in green. The resulting jobs are in the final column.
2.4 It is noted the planning data received includes Primary Schools, a Secondary School and a Care Home. WhilstCOMET does model educational and other trips, the employment type split comes from NTEM forecasts andis not explicitly derived from the planning data. The number of educational and other type trips are based onthese proportions
2.5 The revised planning data to be used shows an increase in Local Plan jobs from 5,450 to 14,965. Abreakdown of jobs can be found in Table 2 and Table 3.
2.6 The list of Local Plan dwellings has been taken from the planning data received from WYG with no furtherprocessing applied. Overall dwellings increase from 4,152 to 6,246 in Local Plan growth. The breakdown ofdwellings can be found in Table 4 and Table 5.

4. Sustainable Transport Interventions
4.1 Sustainable transport interventions have been incorporated into the modelling based on scheme detailsreceived from BBC and WYG. New and revised bus services have been included alongside new businfrastructure (Table 7 with supporting Figures Figure 1 to Figure 4, and
4.2 Table 8). Assumptions for new rail services including two proposed new stations at Turnford and Park Plazacan be seen in Table 9. Proposed rail service frequencies have been added in Table 10 and cyclinginterventions have also been added in Table 11 with further details on the schemes included in Figure 5.

a.
Interchange: New multi-modal bus/railinterchange at Waltham Cross Station.Extent of investment subject to theavailability of funds from:(i) Lower cost intervention at Church Lane(ii) Potential sale of existing bus station site(t.b.c.)
We need to know what exactly isincluded. Is it new Bus Shelters etc?Or moving bus stops and services.
In the plan period it will comprisethe provision of one bus shelterwith real time information, raisedkerbs etc and be served byextending bus services whichcurrently terminate/call atWaltham Cross Bus Station.
In the longer term a morecomprehensive interchange couldbe developed as part of Crossrail2 proposals coming forward, butthis should not be modelled.
b.
Broxbourne Station: Accessimprovements, particularly for buses atBroxbourne Station through the replacementof priority give way junction with signalisedjunction incorporating pedestrian crossingfacilities.
Is this the priority junction at theentry/exit of the station? This accessisn’t represented in the highwaynetwork and can’t be modelled.
Yes.
c.
Brookfield: Provide bus interchangefacilities as part of the Brookfielddevelopment.
Is this simply new bus stops asindicated in the new route (no. 2) inTable 2?
Yes, but such that they are of highquality and enable interchangebetween different services.
d.
Bus stops: Bus stop improvementprogramme across the authority, to provideshelters, raised kerbs, seating, lighting andtimetables.
Are there any details on the numberof bus stops for improvement? Allstops? Also are the timetables realtime timetables?
We have budgeted for 50 stops tobe upgraded. Real timeinformation will be provided. Thefocus of the improvements shouldbe on the main north-south buscorridor formed by the old A10.
e.Bus priority: Introduce Selective VehicleDetection systems to provide priority forbuses along the old A10:
We will use the modelling tocalculate expected delaydifferences as a result of the

measures from the bus prioritymeasures and apply these journeytime savings to the relevant routes.
Other Measures
a.Real time information provision at both busstops and in key trip generators includingretail, commercial and employment centres
n/a
b. Development of an integrated BUSnet ticketfor Broxbourne
As advised previously, this cannot bemodelled in COMET.
That’s a pity!
c. Promotion of the existing Intalink mobile app This cannot be modelled in COMET Ditto!

a.
Increased capacity on the WestAnglia Main Line arising from 4-tracking (from 2026)
Information received is simplya frequency per hour for twoscenarios at the existingstations (Broxbourne,Cheshunt and WalthamCross). We need to know:Which scenario are wetesting? WAML (Post STARscheme) or Crossrail 2?Is there an overall frequencyincrease?How many trains per hour aregoing to stop at each stationand in each direction?If station to station traveltimes are available, thatwould be useful.
TurnfordServed by Crossrail 2 trainsonly i.e. not served by currentGreater Anglia services.Hence station would not beoperational until Crossrail2opens in 2033 at the earliest.Service would be fromBroxbourne via TottenhamHale to central London andbeyond using new Crossrail2tunnels. Trains will call at allstations. Frequency would be10 – 12 trains per hour ineach direction in the peak.
Park PlazaWould be served by existingLondon Overground servicesfrom Cheshunt to LiverpoolStreet. The current timetableis 2 tph in off-peak, with a fewadditional trains in the peaks.A new station would fit intothis timetable.
b.
New stations at Turnford andPark Plaza
We are awaiting the fulldetails of these proposedstations and potentialService schedules,frequencies etc.

providing 10-20km of dedicatedcycle lanes
completely segregated offroad cycle lanes?
b.
Increase cycle parking capacityat Broxbourne, Cheshunt andWaltham Cross Stations
There is an ability to modelthe introduction of securecycle parking facilitieshowever not an increase inthe cycle parking capacity.
Please apply this factor assecure parking will beprovided.
