Abstract

This module familiarises participants with current methods of developing and evaluating transport scenarios. These include analysis of the interrelationship of space and traffic; traffic modelling methods; and evaluation according to economic and planning criteria.

Objective

Participants - are familiar with suitable methods for developing transport scenarios and how to analyse and evaluate them. In particular, they know how to address the challenges of evaluating future forms of transport; - are able to select a suitable method and determine an evaluation concept with relation to a specific problem.

Content

- Methodological foundations of traffic modelling (44-level model, activity-based model,agent-based simulation) - Design and evaluation of transport scenarios using MATSim (traffic simulation) with a focus on transport with autonomous vehicles - Interrelationship of space and traffic (accessibility measurement, settlement density and mixed usage) and what to consider in designing and evaluating transport scenarios - Approaches to evaluation of traffic scenarios (cost-benefit analyses and their foundations, methodological limits), analysis of effects taking into account user group and space type - Ecobalancing with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in addressing passenger and goods transport issues - Development of case studies on shared transport and mobility with an activity- and agent-based transport simulation model Methods - Aggregated and activity-based transport demand models - Agent-based simulation - Cost-benefit analysis - Accessibility analysis Case studies - Shared mobility - Autonomous mobility - Densified settlement development and slow forms of mobility
