(iii)development and implementation of methods to combine cargo origin-destination matrices with interregional input-output matrices and other types of economic data as derived from macroeconomic models;
(iv)calibration of a choice modal split model and estimation of trip assignments, using the data obtained previously;
(v)organization of workshops with supply chain logistics experts to discuss the work results, problems and possible solutions, and to specify mutual attributions for both the government and the private sector;
(vi)establishing strong integration with the technical group of the "Assessoria de Planejamento da Secretaria dos Transportes do Estado de São Paulo" (Planning Department of the Transport Secretariat of the São Paulo State), during work execution (18 months), assuming responsibility for knowledge transfer to allow continuity of work and enabling the group to make necessary changes in the future.
