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<div>\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<div>\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<div>\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<p>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":"<p>TransMob: A\u00a0micro-simulation model for integrated transport and urban planning.
