Scenarios developed
- Blocking roads and lanes for pedestrians and CAVs (e.g. closure of a single short road)
2. Changing curb parking availability to assess traffic performance (e.g. increasing parking availability on curbs)
- Adapting public transportation for CCAM (e.g. integration of public transportation)
- Creating low-emission zones (e.g. creating a LEZ with a small area)
- Running ad-hoc simulations with previously created files (e.g. varying the number of vehicles from previous simulations)
Use Case:
Simulation of CCAM impact on traffic flow and potential congestion in urban and peri-urban areas
The LL Quadrilateral carried out simulations that analyse the environmental and demographic impact of traffic flow and congestion. The data gathered included information about historical travel itineraries samples for simulation, road infrastructure data, public transport and schedules for multimodal integration, etcetera..
Objectives
- Optimise urban space and loads and reduce empty miles through dynamic routing by simulating different deployment scenarios for CCAM vehicles.
- Increase the quality and liveability of urban and metropolitan areas by reducing congestion, air and noise pollution via the impact assessment of diverse mobility scenarios.
- Provide usable digital tools for municipalities for urban planning and traffic management.
- Provide valuable data (for city management) to several decision-makers, from city councils to transportation operators.
- Based on the Urban Platform – already deployed for Guimarães municipality
- Using Eclipse SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility)
