The evidence base for transport

Transport decisions deserve data. This section is being built into the profession's research home - benchmarks, case studies, and an annual state-of-the-profession report.

The Thesis

Flow has physics

The intellectual foundation for this work is the flow-systems framework developed in When Beds Don't Move: hospitals gridlock for predictable, measurable reasons, and transport is one of the highest-leverage points in the system. The research published here will test, benchmark, and extend that framework with field data.
