Foresight

See the saving before you commit.

Model any change to how your people travel - offered as guidance, set as policy, or with an incentive behind it - over your real trip data. See the impact on cost, carbon, and your people before you commit, so the trade-offs are on the table before anything changes - not discovered after.

A short call about your travel programme, and an honest view of what RouteZero would find in it. No obligation.

How it works

From data to confident decisions

RouteZero Foresight uses your real travel data to simulate a proposed change at the individual trip level. Most modelling relies on averages, and averages smooth over the trips where a blanket rule breaks down - ‘no flights under two hours’ sounds sensible until Edinburgh to Oslo, where the train takes more than 15 hours. Simulating every trip shows exactly which journeys a change would affect and which it wouldn’t, so you introduce it knowing it holds.

03 - Iterate

Refine, present, repeat

Present results to leadership, HR, and finance. Adjust thresholds, switch a change between guidance, policy and incentive, compare packages, and iterate until you find the balance that works.

04 - Evolve

Monitor, learn, improve

What you deploy is not a one-off document. As behaviour shifts and data accumulates, tolerances tighten, edge cases resolve, and the plan becomes sharper, without starting from scratch.

01 - Baseline

Start from your real data

Using your analysed travel data from RouteZero Data, we establish a precise baseline: where your people travel, how they travel, and the impact on cost, carbon, and the people making those journeys.

02 - Simulate

Model every trip individually

Every trip is simulated individually under the proposed change - real route alternatives, real costs, real emissions, and the impact on the person travelling. No averages. See exactly what would change.

Scenario modelling

See the impact before you introduce it

Ask what a change would do, and RouteZero answers from your own travel history: each past booking is re-planned under the new rule, and the differences are totalled. You see what it would have saved in carbon and cost.

Your package

Changes overlap. RouteZero finds the combination that hits your target

Savings don't simply add up: moving a route to rail and capping the cabin on long flights compete for the same journeys, so the real effect only appears once the changes are modelled together. RouteZero runs the combinations against your own travel history and shows which mix reaches the carbon and cost you're aiming for - and, for each change, whether it works better as guidance, as policy, or an incentive.

Key insight

The CFO chose the bigger CO₂ cut - because the data showed the biggest cut also saved the most money.

When sustainability teams can show leadership the financial case alongside the environmental one, ambition stops being a hard sell. RouteZero Foresight makes that conversation possible.

Delivery

However you need it delivered

RouteZero adapts to your organisation’s setup: what you decide on can go live to travellers, be written up for leadership to sign off, or both.

Deployed at the point of decision

With RouteZero Action, the changes you approve reach travellers as they book - through a traveller-facing site or embedded in the tools they already use - so the guidance arrives where the decision is made rather than in a document.

A document your leadership can back

We draft the written version your sustainability team can present to leadership, HR, and finance, ready for internal sign-off.

Review and refresh at your own cadence

Monthly, quarterly, or annually - whatever suits your reporting cycle. We re-simulate against fresh data, track progress toward your targets, and adjust what you're asking for as your organisation evolves.

Assurance

A projection is only as good as the assumptions behind it.

These are the modelling choices that decide whether a projection holds up in the room.

Baseline

Your own historic journeys, modelled trip by trip rather than as a portfolio average.

Alternatives

Realistic alternatives a traveller could have taken on the same journey, modelled from a range of travel data sources.

Comparison

Door-to-door times, so rail, air and road are judged on the same basis.

What's counted

Only the change the scenario causes - travel that would have shifted anyway isn't credited to it.

Confidence

Reported as a range, rather than a single point estimate.

Emissions

The same methodologies as your RouteZero Data baseline.

The platform

Foresight turns your travel history into a tested plan. See where it fits.

Each step builds on the last. Start wherever makes sense, and grow when you’re ready.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Using your real trip data, RouteZero simulates each journey as if the traveller made different choices under the proposed change. No averages or generalisations. Every trip is modelled individually with real route availability, costs, and emissions.

That's yours to decide, and you can decide it differently for each change. The same change can be offered as guidance, set as policy so it applies by default, or carry an incentive that pays the traveller a share of what their choice saved. Foresight models and costs each option, so you can start with guidance alone and see what the firmer versions would add before committing to any of them.

A clean baseline from RouteZero Data. If you’re already using RouteZero for data and reporting, your baseline is ready. If not, we’ll start with Data to build your foundation.

Yes. Changes overlap - moving a route to rail and capping the cabin on long flights compete for the same journeys - so they're modelled together as a package. You can compare packages side by side, for example a conservative one versus an ambitious one, and see exactly how each performs on cost, carbon, and the impact on your people.

Every simulated change is assessed for its effect on your people: journey time differences, comfort changes, and booking complexity. This lets you anticipate pushback before it happens.

The same methodologies as RouteZero Data: Cirium for flight-level fuel burn, Green Travel Data for rail, DEFRA factors for car and hotel. Simulations use the same audit-grade accuracy as your baseline.

Because the cost of a change is modelled alongside its carbon. An incentive is sized as a share of the money a traveller's choice saves, so it is paid out of a saving that already exists - and you can see the size of that saving before you commit to paying anyone.

RouteZero produces presentation-ready outputs showing the cost, carbon, and people impact of each package. Designed to support conversations with leadership, HR, and finance.
