4.3. Tool Components The three main components of the tool described above have been described in detail in the following sub sections.

4.3.1 Outputs A total of 37 outputs present results under the following three broad categories: 1. Future (annual) fleet size requirement categorized by service type and by vehicle type. 2. Future (annual) land requirement for depots and terminal classified by service type 3. Future annual budget requirement i.e. cost of fleet acquisition and infrastructure development classified by service type. In addition, outputs are presented as rate of change, depicting growth/decline in different public transport mode share, staff requirement, efficiency, etc. A list of all outputs has been presented in Annexure-9.4.

4.3.2 Inputs To generate the outputs, the model requires a list of data inputs along with assumptions (such as expected/desired mode share or efficiency) which define a scenario. The data input in dashboard has been designed keeping in mind the easy availability of data with the STU’s and from other sources such as census. The user defines the current year and defines the data year. The model then projects the data from the data year (data such as census data is typically a historic data) to the current year and this is used in all output estimates. A total of 82 data inputs under the following 8 categories is required. Table 1 lists the 8 categories and the respective components under which the data is inserted by the user.
