Overview

This Function shall be capable of providing the following facilities:

(1) The ability to simulate the imposition of a demand management strategy.
(2) The ability to carry out its simulations at the request of the Transport Planner who must specify the existing strategy that is to be simulated.
(3) The ability to send the results of the simulation to the functionality providing the HMI for the Transport Planner.

Functional Requirements

(a) when the run demand strategy simulation data flow is received, send the request for data and strategies for simulation data flow tot he Manage Demand Management Data Store function
(b) when the data and strategy for simulation data flows have been received, run the simulation to show what is expected to happen when the strategy is implemented
(c) when (b) is completed, send the results in the demand strategy simulation results data flow to the Provide Transport Planner Interface function
(d) if the new demand strategy for simulation data flow is received, send the request for data for simulation data flow tot he Manage Demand Management Data Store function
(e) repeat (b) and (c).
