There are many examples of transportation models that use randomness and probability as their basis; however such stochastic methods are more interested in the aggregation and analysis of data rather than its management. The locality-scope model administers the framework within which data and knowledge are created, stored, analysed, retrieved and actioned. Its purpose is to provide the mechanism by which current and future knowledge requirements can be identified and realised within both traffic management systems and transport micro-simulation tools. It is accepted that the general limitation to the model is that it cannot manage nodes for which there is no electronic management/storage device. Through this framework one can have access to highly optimised, and information rich data at any time of the day or night. It provides the modeller with the ability to purpose manage the information at each point of interest such as intersections or population sinks, and in the real-world, it allows for the improved management of information to and from signalised intersections and their sectional controllers.
