Abstract
The car is currently the most popular transport mode, due to, among other things, its convenience and comfort. In many urban areas, the resulting high car usage leads to considerable road congestion. On top of this, it goes paired with several negative externalities like noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, measures to shift towards more sustainable modes of transport, like public transport, may be beneficial. However, several trade-offs may occur, for example, shifting towards public transport might cause higher travel times.
In the literature, it has been proven difficult to take into account all trade-offs in one single objective function. While some research has been conducted on the multi-objective optimisation of measures to improve the transit system, hardly any research efforts have incorporated the simultaneous optimisation of interventions to discourage car usage. In this presentation, we study this gap in the current literature. In doing so, we demonstrate the potential of combining the transit and car network design when trying to shift towards a more sustainable mobility system.
