Case studies

  Leading institutions:
The centrepiece of the work package is to take advantage of the achievements of the other tasks in order to undertake an empirical analysis on three European agglomerations (Ile-de-France, Brussels and Zurich), and possibly to prepare a 4th application (depending on co-funding). The objective of WP7 is to test the new simulation tool UrbanSimE in at least three case studies.

For each of these three case studies there is an existing UrbanSim model. Preliminary case studies will start at an early date with the current version of UrbanSimE. They will be undertaken in order to help the working teams to identify the main practical limitations and difficulties. The main case studies will then be undertaken after the upgrade of UrbanSimE.

In each case city, the following tasks will be successively carried out:

 
WP7.1: data collection and analysis; STR
WP7.2: work on spatial issues; UCL
WP7.3: calibration: this includes calibration of the transport model, calibration of the urban model, integration of the transport and urban models; STR
WP7.4: simulations of scenarios, evaluation of the tool and of the policies: this includes running the environmental and socio-economic modules (see WP8) to get indicators and evaluate the scenarios. STR
