| Solution concept | General equilibrium (closed economy) |
| Solution method | The COFFEE model is solved through Linear Programming (LP). The TEA model is formulated as a mixed complementary problem (MCP) and is solved through Mathematical Programming System for General Equilibrium -- MPSGE within GAMS using the PATH solver. |
| Anticipation | |
The activity of the transportation sector is usually separated into passenger and freight. The activity of the former is represented in passenger-km, or pkm, which is a measurement of the total distance required by the total number of passengers. As for freight, the unit used to represent the activity is tonne-km, or tkm. In this activity indicator, all goods and products are combined into the total weight beings transported by the total distance. The energy consumed in this sector is used to achieve a necessary level of activity. In this sense, within the model, the exogenous demand will be expressed in pkm, for passengers, and tkm, for freight. The demands for energy services of the transportation sector were estimated through a third-party tool, a model from the International Council on Clean Technology (ICCT, 2012).
