ITINARRAY

Intelligent Multi-modal Inter-Urban Mobility (ITINARRAY) addresses challenges in transport multimodality by developing a Multimodal Indicator to reflect the community’s needs, vision and priorities of transportation and sustainability.
ITINARRAY will develop a model for multimodal transportation in European metropolitan areas providing computational systems and evaluation tools to: 1. map indicators (of transport network-socio-economic-computational multimodal mobility) to pilot projects in Lisbon-Portugal, Rome-Italy, The Hague-The Netherlands and Rotterdam metropolitan area. This yields overviews of sustainability, efficiency and resilience in metropolitan area transportation networks focusing on soft modes’ economic impact and social benefits; 2. measure, simulate and predict soft modes’ effect on carbon emissions and network efficiency; 3. gage multimodal transport network resiliency, handling predictable hazards. It uses hybrid modelling and analysis yielding an indicator based on computational models and socio-economic studies.
Data comes from metropolitan areas e.g: existing land use and transportation conditions; road traffic flows; transport schedules and routes; cycle network; origin-destination matrix, sentiment, opinion, happiness and comfort.
Historic data highlights the needs and challenges faced by current transportation systems as well as improvements needed for comprehensive implementation.
Lab analysis, modelling and simulation of citizen usage is done in a visually immersive virtual environment, via multimodal transport simulations, using bike, car, bus and metro. Simulation helps understanding of behavioral user aspects and assessment of environmental and quality-of-life issues. This validates multimodal mobility’s aim to support public governance.
Finally, the multimodal mobility indicator will foster the adoption of multimodality and transport system resilience in metropolitan areas.
