          Member of the AIM team, Hipolito Martel was invited to deliver a lecture for the UrbanTec congress which was organised from 30\/09 to 02\/10. As a transport and logistic specialist, he took part of the session – Best practice of smart mobility : using technology to integrate infrastructure, vehicles and users -, presenting a french case he had worked on. Were present city related experts from all over the world and the event was a good oportunity to discuss the AIM\u00a0project. Interested by the ambitions of AIM and as a urban and transport specialist, professor Dirk Vall\u00e9e, from Aachen Germany, entered in a closer discussion group.<\/div>\n

          During the month of august 2015, part of the AIM team was in Rio de Janeiro to pre-diagnostic the needs of the UFRJ’s campus in terms of mobility, and to meet the local experts and public decision-makers. As a result, first guidelines were defined and the project now count with the support of the mayor and vice-mayor of the campus, as well as several experts in urban mobility from the Transport Engineering Program (PET) of the UFRJ.<\/p>\n

          Background and issues<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n

          The Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)\u2019s main campus is actually a small town run by an elected mayor. It is located on an island\/peninsula (Ilha do Fundao). The campus land-use includes university areas, but also a technology park (home to some large companies, a military zone, a residential area and some undeveloped areas and areas of wasteland.<\/p>\n

          Several tens of thousands of users travel to, from and within this zone on a daily basis, which generates extensive traffic jams, difficulties and dissatisfaction. These problems are due not only to factors related to the way journeys are organized on campus but also to interactions with the metropolitan transport network and its flows. In fact, the peninsula network is not only used by UFRJ users but also serves as a convenient \u201cdiversion\u201d for the adjacent localities and flows to and from the international airport.<\/p>\n

          The UFRJ town council\u2019s top priority is to reorganize and optimize on-campus transport by bus and its on-campus and external interconnections. The currently identified problems concern both the on-campus management of the bus routes (the actual needs and the choice of stops) and the coordination between buses and passenger flows at the metropolitan network\u2019s terminus. However, it appears that a multimodal approach to campus mobility is essential, given the wide range of needs and potential measures. Furthermore, private cars and buses not only cause traffic jams but also saturate the car parks; this point should be taken into account in any overall solution.<\/p>\n

          \n<\/div>\n

          The overall goal of the student workshop (February\u2013June 2016)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          The international student workshop (organized as part of Sorbonne Universities\u2019 AIM project) will:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            perform a systematic diagnostic analysis of on-campus mobility and access to the campus from the rest of the city.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          2. \n

            develop possible solutions and scenarios for improving on-campus mobility and interconnections with the metropolitan network.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          3. \n

            provide decision-makers with evaluation tools, comparisons of these scenarios and decision support, based on a multimodal, sustainable approach.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \"LouisWill be studied the links between changes in mobility and other major aspects of sustainable development: notably the energy transition, environmental quality and resilience with regard to natural and anthropogenic hazards. The criteria for evaluating and choosing the best solutions will have to consider current and predicted data on mobility flows and direct indicators of performance (travel cost and time), quality, comfort and user risks (social acceptability).<\/p>\n

            Preparatory work on the data and models thus appears to be essential before deciding on the student workshop\u2019s precise objectives.<\/p>\n

            Preparatory work and feasibility studies on the data, models and tools (August 2015 \u2013 January 2016)<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

            The data<\/em><\/p>\n

            The data required for the study and a possible model have already been relatively well defined. This will include spatial and topological data (buildings, networks and interconnections) and temporal data (flows of people and vehicles). The spatial data are already being collected and structured (using ArcGIS) by UFRJ students supervised by Professor Fernando Lima. Systemic and topological links will have to be specified as part of the discussion on modelling. The data on flows are more difficult to acquire; nevertheless, three major sources have been identified and are being studied:
            \n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Data from mobility surveys: a questionnaire has been designed by UFRJ students and a panel of users will be surveyed in the weeks to come. The survey results will be used in the student workshop.
            \n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Data from previous studies (primarily from Rio City Council and the UFRJ\/COPPE working group on transportation). Students at the UFRJ and the UTC have started to investigate these data with the stakeholders.
            \n3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cBig data\u201d that can be extracted from information sent by geolocalized smartphones. Various options can be envisaged, although this solution appears to be somewhat limited on the campus perimeter, which has poor mobile network coverage.<\/p>\n

            The preparation phase must include a review of (i) the data likely to be exploited in the student workshop, and (ii) fall-back solutions for dealing with missing data. The data could be classified by type and by level of importance (e.g. as in the data catalogue linked to the \u201cevacuation\u201d method developed at the UTC in 2011).<\/p>\n


            \n<\/u><\/p>\n

            The models<\/em><\/p>\n

            With a view to introducing innovation and research components, the AIM project is striving to develop or adapt a model for evaluating systemic, sustainable approaches to multimodal mobility scenarios. We have started to review the state-of-the-art for models and tools, although there appear to be few available multimodal, muticriterion models for performing precise simulations. After the development of a conceptual model, the latter will be implemented (in full or in part) in a software environment (the prototype). The UTC and the UFRJ have started to discuss the model. It should at least have the following features:
            \n1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0A topological model representing the multimodal network and its mobility characteristics. We have started to analyse the types of interconnection nodes, on the basis of a local survey.
            \n2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0A dynamic (flow-based) model linked to the topological model and that enables simulations to be run (probably using a simplified model in the initial version).
            \n3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Layers of geo-referenced data for linking other criteria (environmental, societal and risk factors) to mobility.<\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

            The digital tools<\/em><\/p>\n

            The ArcGIS platform has been chosen as the core tool for data structuring. It will be used to underpin our analysis of mobility scenarios (ideally by integrating a dynamic simulation model). Other tools (notably Google Apps) could be used around ArcGIS to manage documents and simplified maps. It should be feasible to provide the \u201cdata\u201d and \u201cscenario analysis\u201d components of the project (level one) after 12 months. The \u201cmodels and simulation\u201d component will require a more in-depth feasibility study than suggested here for the preparatory phase. The ArcGIS \u201cNetwork Analyst\u201d module will be used to represent the (current and future) mobility network as a georeferenced graphic, enabling systemic analysis and simulations (the nature and the level of complexity of which will be specified by the end of 2015). If it turns out that a dynamic simulation model is too far away, we could nevertheless envisage a less complex alternative for the analysis and evaluation of solutions represented as a multimodal network. The development of a multimodal conceptual model would also constitute a very interesting deliverable per se for the project, and full implementation of the model could be envisaged in several stages if this task turns out to be complex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
