“…Availability of hard data from a simulation and visualisations conducted in a transport model are particularly important when city authorities plan to engage local communities in public consultation, a process which is an essential part of the SUMP process [18]. If they can be visualised, the outcomes of analyses are easier to understand for the public and can significantly improve the public participation process, especially as a complement to other decision-support tools and methods [25][26][27][28].…”

“…As well as tackling transport and land use relations, sustainable urban mobility is very much a community-based decision-making process involving a wide spectrum of stakeholders [23]. It needs political support and strong community and stakeholder engagement [24] with decision-support tools and methods playing an important role in the process [25][26][27][28].…”

“…In particular, public participation GIS combined with other methods can be helpful in deciding on the locations of specific investment and/or modernisation projects [26]. This is aided by the advances in computer technology [27] which helps to embed qualitative data in space [59]. The multilevel traffic model was used throughout the SUMP process at different stages and by different stakeholders (Table 7).…”

Integration of a Multilevel Transport System Model into Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning

When planning their transport policy, cities usually focus on developing sustainable transport systems and reducing the negative consequences of transport. One way to deliver transport policies is to use the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP), a strategic document designed to meet the demand for mobility whilst ensuring adequate quality of life for the residents. The process of Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP process) can be supported by using a transport model. The objective of this article is to analyse the efficacy of the Multilevel Model of Transport Systems-referred to by its acronym, MST-for the SUMP process. With its ability to represent the transport system's behaviour depending on the level of detail, the MST can significantly benefit the SUMP process. The proposed concept of integration of the MST into the SUMP process has already been tested and applied in delivering Gdynia's (Poland) SUMP. The paper suggests ways to use the MST at different levels of planning and modelling and describes the outcomes. Using the multilevel structure helps to fully realise the transport model's potential to improve the effectiveness of urban mobility planning. The conclusions show that the methods proposed in the article are worthwhile and cities should consider them when planning the SUMP process.

“…The advantage of Pimp your landscape is its simple entry and online handling with low technical requirements with regard to end-users' technical facilities (Seffino et al 1999, Tang andWaters 2005). In fact, a widely available set of maps based on CLC 2000 and geographical, topographical, and climate data sets is used as a standard.…”

Geospatial Technology and the Role of Location in Science

Since the first appearances of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), transportation science has found in them its natural support, to represent, first, the spatial and, later on, the temporal aspects of transportation networks and infrastructures. As GIS developed so did their use in transportation science, and they became essential not only in visualization but also to facilitate and speed data management, algorithmic operations, and decision making. This paper analyses the contributions and influence of GIS in transport science on the basis of three frameworks: geodatabase, geomapping, and geomodelling, all of which highlight the importance of location.
