A land-use modelling solution for spatial forecasting.
Delta is the digital platform that is at the forefront land use modelling and forecasting. Its bespoke engine provides in-depth analysis of how households and businesses respond to changing urban, demographic, and economic dynamics.
Developed over many years to meets your needs, Delta supports every stage of your study, from initial analysis to strategic decision-making.
With advanced visualisations, interactive dashboards, and GIS integration, Delta enhances your data and clarifies your choices, whatever the size or complexity of your area. It delivers powerful insights into the impact of your transport projects and the connections between jobs, housing, and mobility.

delta – Features
Comprehensive vision and dynamic interactions
Delta offers a holistic framework that captures the complex, dynamic interactions between key actors shaping cities and regions—including developers, firms, residents, service suppliers, and transport providers.
By modelling connections across property and labour markets, infrastructure, and product markets, Delta reveals the far-reaching impacts of each actor’s choices, supporting evidence-based, integrated planning.
Advanced location choice modelling
Delta models a dynamic set of linkages between core drivers of location choice, including:
- Accessibility
- Demand for floorspace
- Housing Rent
- Quality
- Job opportunities
Delta is particularly valuable for assessing investments whose benefits extend beyond purely transport-related outcomes. The LUTI model helps to address questions relating to economic growth and transformation, urban regeneration, the social and spatial distributional effects.
A flexible, customised solution
Each Delta deployment is tailored for your objectives:
- Usage and application context
- Customisation to local regulations and strategic priorities
- Defined performance indicators
Choose a fully supported turn-key solution or integrate Delta directly into your organisation for internal users been developed to significantly improve the way the user can interact with the model and its outputs.
Enhanced user experience
Thanks to the latest advances in data science, Delta now offers customisable, presentation-ready reports for stakeholders. Models can be built, calibrated, interrogated, and ultimately presented to clients and stakeholders. In addition, various options are available for those requiring access to land-use modelling software.
Drive better project outcomes
The Delta solution offers a comprehensive set of benefits designed to improve land-use and transport planning strategies. The use of the solution allows you to:
- Conduct initial analyses and policy studies: quickly assess the impact and potential benefits of any new initiative.
- Develop forward-looking scenarios: Easily visualise and compare the effects of various demographic, economic, or traffic changes.
- Support strategic planning: Access a robust set of relevant indicators and metrics to guide and secure your decisions.
- Prioritise, structure, and review your projects: Simulate a wide range of standalone or combined projects and benefit from objective comparisons to identify high-potential areas.
- Perform in-depth economic analyses: Go beyond traditional approaches and obtain comprehensive, detailed results.
- Support strategic studies: Provide concrete evidence to substantiate your assumptions and guide your scenarios.
- Carry out rigorous evaluations: Give precise, fact-based answers to counterfactual questions to demonstrate the added value of your actions.
How can I forecast the long-term impact of transport on urban growth
SYSTRA provides the Delta modelling solution to simulate the relationship between infrastructure, housing, and jobs. It gives you the evidence needed to predict how transport projects will shape future land use and development.
What is a Land-use Transport Interaction (LUTI) model?
A LUTI model is an integrated framework that captures how transport accessibility affects where people live and work. Delta endogenises these connections to provide a realistic simulation of urban change over time.
Can the system be customised for regional requirements?
Yes. We tailor every deployment to your objectives and local regulations. SYSTRA can provide a fully supported solution or integrate the analytical environment directly into your organisation for internal use.
Why use Delta instead of traditional transport modelling?
Delta goes beyond static analysis by revealing dynamic connections across property and labour markets. It provides the deep insights necessary to justify investments and demonstrate the long-term value of your projects.
Bridge the gap between mobility and growth
Delta provides the evidence you need to forecast urban change. Map the connections between transport and growth to make smarter, sustainable infrastructure choices.
