Hugh Livingstone

Hugh Livingstone is a Transport Modeller and Planner with over 35 years of experience on public transport, logistics, rail, and highway engineering projects. He specialises in transport modelling – especially public transport, strategic multi-modal transport studies, transport master planning, demand and revenue forecasting, and scheme appraisal to TAG (UK DfT’s Transport Analysis Guidance) standards. He is a Member of the Institution of Highways and Transportation (MIHT).

Hugh uses new innovations in modelling and data capture to better represent transport trends and build public transport systems to encourage modal shift away from private cars. His models provide insights into complex travel movements but also consider other factors increasingly needing analysis such as fair access, sustainability, land use, new technologies, behaviour, environmental impacts and climate change.

Hugh has extensive experience in transport surveys, along with the associated data capture and analysis. He designed a series of household surveys to support an ABM model in the Gulf and has created base year demand matrices from mobile phone data, supplemented by other, more conventional traffic survey data. As a result, he is an expert in building travel demand matrices from Big Data sources such as mobile phone, GPS, census and GIS data.

Hugh is an experienced user of all commonly-available transport modelling software, as well a being a coder and data analyst. He is a PTV certified trainer for VISUM and is accredited to use TfL’s strategic transport models Railplan (Emme), LoHAM (Saturn), One (Visum), MoTiON (Cube). He is also a skilled user of GIS software and technologies.
