Analyses, models, and simulations for scaling up
The overall goal of the project is to generate insights that enable the assessment of costs, effects, and models for the design and scaling up of smart traffic zones. The evaluation will occur both at a general level to scale up smart traffic zones in a broader context and at the pilot level, where each test is assessed based on predefined objectives.
We will develop a general methodology for evaluating scaling effects. This includes modeling and simulation, assessing driver and traffic participant attitudes, evaluating safety potential, and cost analysis. This methodology will be customized for each pilot's unique data and needs.
Furthermore, scaling models will be developed and applied to each pilot-specific scenario. The results will be compiled and generalized to analyze the scaling potential for all three pilots within the four evaluation areas. Through this work, the project aims to establish a foundation for future urban planning with smart traffic zones.
The work is led by KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) and is conducted in collaboration with VTI (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute), University of Gothenburg, and RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden).
