Not in the classic sense — GOAT doesn't forecast traffic volumes, trip generation, or modal shift the way transport models such as PTV Visum do. Instead, GOAT models accessibility: it calculates how well people can reach destinations such as shops, schools, and transit stops by walking, cycling, or public transport, using routing, travel-time, and different accessibility analysis and indicators. You can also build scenarios — change an input, such as a planned development or a new stop, and see how accessibility changes. This supports concepts like the "city of short distances" and the 15-minute city. In short: transport models predict how traffic flows; GOAT reveals how well places can be reached.
