Public Transportation Networks and System.
One of the studio’s major areas of expertise has consistently been consultancy on public transportation networks and systems.
The consultancy provided ranges from the reorganization of both urban and extra-urban pubic transportation systems to determining potential demand on new lines or rapid mass transit systems, to the preparing of marketing plans to re-launch pubic transportation.
This type of analysis is done by preparing simulation models for both public and private mobility, implemented on different scales of analysis (i.e. urban and regional) depending on the initiative in question. These models are able to determine user transportation choices.
When new mass transit lines are in question, the results obtained on the number of passengers transported in the system are generally examined together with assessments of possibilities for decongestion of road systems triggered by the new public systems’ absorption of a portion of private transportation.
