There are innumerable models within the transportation field, which offer a variety of detailed and specific analyses (e.g., traffic flow, fuel consumption, mode choice).

摘要

There are innumerable models within the transportation field, which offer a variety of detailed and specific analyses (e.g., traffic flow, fuel consumption, mode choice). However, to date there is an absence of a model providing a holistic understanding of the entire transport system. Existing models are reliant on simple assumptions outside of their specific focus to generate such system-wide results. Against this background this paper presents a new interactive tool for the holistic evaluation of multiple aspects of the transportation system integrating research results from a variety of scientific disciplines and models. It aims to provide both a holistic understanding of the transport system and an interactive tool allowing the wider public to engage with state-of-the-art scientific research. For this purpose, it is based on a unique data eco-system that provides interfaces for transport demand, noise pollution, and emission models, and outlines the results of the model chain in an appealing and easily understandable manner. This paper illustrates the features and the advantages of this new tool using the results of the project Connected Mobility for Liveable Places. The project aims to develop a people-centered, inclusive, and sustainable system of mobility of both people and goods.
