\"\"How will current socio-demographic evolution affect future transport patterns and traffic conditions?<\/em><\/p>\n

How will urban development and transport policy influence the quality of life of various segments of the local community?<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The \u2018Shaping the Sydney of Tomorrow\u2019 Project (StSoT) was commissioned by Transport for NSW (Australia) to better understand the interactions between transport and land-use dynamics as experienced by individuals and households over extensive periods of time (15-20 years). Stepping away from traditional optimisation, our model focuses on anticipating short and long-term emergent consequences and feedbacks resulting from interactions between people and their urban environment, through the creation of \u2018what-if\u2019 scenarios (risk assessment approach). \u00a0The innovative design and development of TransMob aims to challenge three traditional but highly limiting modelling assumptions:<\/p>\n

\u2022Long-term steady-state equilibrium of the system: in fact, transport services and urban development co-evolve along with socio-demographic changes in highly dynamic ways and out of equilibrium.<\/div>\n
\u2022Feed-forward effect of urban development on transport networks: in fact, evidence suggests that there is a strong feedback effect of transport solutions onto land-use changes.<\/div>\n
\u2022Homogeneous and utility-based social responses to transport and land-use planning: in fact, there is more to decisions on transport modes or residential locations than pure micro-economic reasoning; most unintended consequences stem from unexpected heterogeneous individual considerations.<\/div>\n

TransMob is made of six modelling components: (1) synthetic population, (2) perceived liveability, (3) travel diaries, (4) traffic micro-simulator, (5) transport mode choice and (6) residential location choice. The model is applied to the inner south-east area of Sydney metropolitan area and simulates the evolution of around 110,000 individuals and 50,000 households over 20 years, according to various transport and land use scenarios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
