Technical documentation of the TIMES model extended with demand parameters, emission coefficients and TCO module
Abstract
The technical documentation describes in 3 chapters the development process of the TIMES model. The introductory chapter 1 presents the structure of the TIMES model, its inputs and outputs and the basic functionality of the transport module.
Chapter 2 contains a detailed description of the update of the transport module, the status and active parameters of the fleet. Chapter 3 describes the development of the probabilistic fleet renewal module.
This includes a probabilistic algorithm for the selection of a new vehicle by households, the selection of a new vehicle by firms based on minimizing the total cost of ownership, and the parameterization of the retirement of vehicles from the fleet based on a time series analysis of CRV deregistrations.
