As cities grow larger, they often struggle in finding sustainable and liveable mobility solutions to accommodate this growth. Many alternative modes of transport—such as public transport, carsharing systems, bikesharing systems—exist next to private car travel. The effects of expanding those alternatives are often challenging to model. This is in particular the case for small and medium sized cities, which often use straightforward and easy-to-use four-step traffic models. The alternative modes of transport could be modelled using extensive agent-based traffic models. However, these are expensive to make and require a lot of data and expertise. In the context of the EU H2020 project “MOMENTUM”, we developed an intermediate modelling approach that aims to reconcile the user-friendliness of four-step traffic models with the predictive power of agent-based models to investigate the effects of alternative modes of …
