Mobility transformation: key factors for sustainable and resilient transport
How can we prepare for future changes in transportation?
How will disruptive events affect mobility in cities? The MOTUS project aims to answer this question by developing a simulation platform that takes a holistic view of the urban transport system and its stakeholders. The platform will enable municipalities to run through various disruptive scenarios and derive targeted prevention measures from them. The project focuses primarily on the effects of climate change and structural change in lignite mining areas. In this project, the Department of Cycling and Local Mobility at the University of Kassel is mainly concerned with the individual behavior and habits of road users.
