RIOC

The DfT needed a bespoke model to provide decision support to help answer the question of what rolling stock to operate where. We developed a sophisticated auditable model to calculate the whole life cost of different rolling stock deployment options. With our in depth knowledge of whole life cost modelling we worked closely with the DfT and our partners, Transport Research Laboratory and Halcrow, to help them understand the different development options. Our RIOC model is now used by the ORR and the DfT to optimise rolling stock deployment revenue.
