Scenexus is proud to contribute its advanced simulation technology to the National Transport Analysis Platform (NTAP), a new £5 million initiative commissioned by the UK Department for Transport (DfT). As reported by Local Transport Today (4 March 2026), the project marks a major step forward in how national transport policies are analysed and tested.
Scenexus in close partnership with Arup, introduces a predictive digital twin approach to national transport modelling. The platform moves beyond conventional methods by combining activitybased modelling, agentbased simulation and highperformance GPU computing. This enables complex national scenarios to be evaluated in minutes rather than many hours, supporting faster and more informed policy decisions.
Scenexus provides the core analytical engines underpinning NTAP, including large‑scale simulation of traffic flows and environmental impacts such as air quality, noise and CO₂ emissions. By leveraging massively parallel GPU computation, the platform can explore a wide range of future scenarios while remaining responsive and adaptable as policy questions evolve.
NTAP is being developed with DfT’s Transport Analysis Strategic Modelling (TASM) division. The ambition is for a flexible, future‑proofed framework that could support evidence‑based decision‑making across the UK transport system.
The project is scheduled to run until August 2028 and demonstrates how Scenexus’ digital twin technology can deliver national‑scale impact, translating cutting‑edge research into operational tools for public policy.
