Summary CV
James Fox
Research Leader
Profile
James has over 10 years of experience
in the estimation and application of
complex multi-modal models, both as
an analyst and as a project manager.
He has overseen the development of
disaggregate multi-modal models in the
UK, Copenhagen, and Sydney. James
is also currently studying for a PhD in
model transferability at ITS Leeds.
Experience
2010–now Research Leader, RAND
Europe (Deputy Quality
Assurance Manager since 2007)
2004–2009 Senior Analyst, RAND
Europe
2001–2003 Analyst, RAND Europe
1999–2001 Analyst, Hague Consulting
Group
Selected projects
Sydney Stategic Model (STM)
(1999–
(1999 – present)
Bureau of Transport Statistics, Transport
New South Wales
As an analyst, James worked on the
development of the STM between
1999 and 2001, and a 2004 validation
study. Between 2009 and 2011, James
has led a study to re-estimate the
demand models in the STM, and
extend the scope of the choice models
to include toll road and park-and-ride
choices. James recently leading led four
subsequent studies to implement the
new models and re-base the STM to a
2006 base year.
PRISM (2002–
(2002 – present)
7 West Mildands Local Authorities,
Highways Agency
James was the principal analyst in the
estimation and implementation of the
discrete choice demand models used in
PRISM. Since 2004, James has an ongoing role in facilitating model
application studies, and on-going
model development. James has recently
led RE’s work to re-estimate the
demand models for a 2011 base year.
Long distance travel model (LDM)
(2008–
(2008 – 2011)
2011 )
UK Department for Transport
Led the scoping study for long-distance
multi-modal travel demand, and
subsequently oversaw the estimation
and implementation of the mode,
destination and frequency demand
models which were jointly estimated
from RP and SP data.
JBF/2013
Manchester Motorway Box (2006–
(2006 –
2009)
UK Department for Transport
James was the technical manager for
this study to develop complex mode,
destination and frequency models to
predict travel choices for Manchester
residents. These models were then used
to quantify induced traffic effects of the
Manchester Motorway Box.
Copenhagen Transport Model
(OTM), 2004–
2004 – present
Danish Transport Research Institute
James has been involved in the
estimation and development of the
multi-modal travel demand models,
including models of mode, destination
and frequency, for Copenhagen since
2004.
