System dynamics tool to transform future mobility planning
08 November 2019
How do we make informed decisions in an environment filled with complex challenges?
How can we better understand how different market forces interact to impact the adoption of new mobility technology and get better outcomes for users?
To help practitioners around the world address the impacts of the demand for new mobility – WSP recently launched a new system dynamics tool at the ITS World Congress 2019 in Singapore.
“The Systems Dynamics Tool can help decision makers test today how different assumptions can impact future transport in cities and regions around the world, explains Scott Benjamin, Technical Director for Intelligent Transport at WSP.
"Working with an interactive web-based system dynamics tool, which can be adapted to local and regional conditions, transport practitioners can collaboratively explore how different factors can shape the behaviour and development of transport systems and test the impact of different levels and interventions over time.”
The tool—developed by an international team of WSP experts, addresses questions such as:
-
What decisions are needed today to guide the adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs), Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs), and shared mobility services?
-
How can we use policy levers to manage the uptake of EVs and CAVs?
-
What are the main factors that will bring about a ‘tipping point’ for mass uptake of EVs and CAVs?
-
How would an increase in EV and CAV uptake impact the market for shared mobility services?
-
How do we create and distribute a robust charging network that supports uptake of EVs?
