Interactive simulation of inertia created by mobility habits

Carole Adam

Résumé

Recent years have seen an increase of public awareness of global warming, and their expressed concern about ecology. A well-known field of action for reducing one’s carbon impact is mobility, where the impact of individual cars is well- known. In line with public concern, institutions at the national or local level have been trying to encourage bicycle commuting to reduce traffic and pollution, via financial incitations or new infrastructures. These public policies result in increasing difficulties for car drivers (low emissions zones, urban tolls, petrol price, pedestrian areas, car parking difficulties, traffic jams, etc) and increasing comfort and safety for cyclists thanks to dedicated facilities. Despite these changes, mobilities evolve very slowly, for instance in France a large proportion of commuting is still done by car, even for very short journeys. The role of habits was already shown: individuals routinely reproduce their usual decision when they are in a similar context, which can save decision time but might also lead to misadapted decisions when the environment evolves. Changes in individuals’ life cycles are thus the best opportunity to change their habits. The COVID-19 pandemics also showed an unusual reset of our habits and encouraged cycling, at least for a limited time. We propose here a simulator of the dynamics of mobility in an evolving urban context, under the influence of habits. It is implemented in Netlogo and playable online.
