A Measure Generator Tool for Sustainable Urban Mobility

摘要

The present paper details the development of a designated software that facilitates the selection of the appropriate measures to achieve high level sustainable urban mobility. The main objective of this tool is to combine the capabilities of the city, the geographical location of the properties throughout the city and the expectations of stakeholders (i.e. budget, time horizon, hardness and objectives) to come up with a list of realistic measures and policies that will be ready to be implemented. A pilot version of the tool has been developed using Microsoft Excel formulas and Visual Basic scripts. A case study for the city of Volos, Greece was undertaken to assess the executability, robustness and efficiency of the framework in real-life conditions. The pilot trial revealed that the developed SUM Measure Generator Tool can successfully extract a variety of measures and solutions addressing stakeholders' needs and their vision for the city.
