From 2007 to 2009
TML developed the ISEEM project, which creates an integrated spatial-economic-ecological model for Belgium to analyse social, economic, and environmental objectives in transport issues. This model provides scientific support for sustainability and transport policies and facilitates the implementation of the EU sustainable development strategy.
The main objective of the ISEEM project was to develop and implement an integrated spatial-economic-ecological model for Belgium. This model allows for trade-offs between social and economic transport and environmental objectives and thus enables a very complete analysis of policy questions.
The ISEEM model represents the state of the art in various fields of knowledge and is superior to many other models available in Belgium. As a result, it provides the Belgian community with correct scientific support for formulating sustainability and transport policies. The model will
The documentation accompanying the model as well as the model code and basic data are publicly available. However, using the model requires a functional version of the GAMS software and an MCP solver (PATH). More information on this software can be found on the GAMS website. A test version of the GAMS software can be downloaded from this website. However, this is not powerful enough to use the model.

- assist the implementation of the EU Sustainable Development Strategy in Belgium,
- assist the efficient integration of sustainability objectives into existing Belgian policies at regional and federal levels, and
- calculate the economic impacts of transport infrastructure and transport policies.
