Evaluating the Benefits of Promoting Intermodality and Active Modes in Urban Transportation: A Microsimulation Approach

Résumé

The objective of this chapter is to show how microsimulation can be used to study urban transportation problems, in particular those issues related to sustainable transport and innovations. A theoretical, though representative, geometry of an urban area with a set of concentric and radial roads is considered for the analysis. Microsimulation, which provides a precise description of traffic flows, is used to draw a detailed accounting of emissions of pollutant gases and fuel consumption. In the base-case situation, the private car is the main transport mode. We then consider alternative scenarios where users are allowed to switch to public transportation or biking. A combination of walking, biking, and public transportation is also allowed. Under this intermodal setting, we find that congestion level, fuel consumption, and emissions of pollutant gases decrease significantly (up to 30%).
