Finding the optimal mix of modes
(WP3)

Location: White Stag Building - White Stag Building Room 150

Pre-Registration Required (Open)

In this workshop, participants learn and discuss about the impacts of transport systems and (emerging) modes on societal goals, related to mobility, land use, economy, environment and equity (according to the 5E model of Van Oort and Van der Bijl). Pitches will be used to introduce the themes and share state of the art research findings. Using a brand new serious game, participants are going to play and discussions will be triggered to find the main societal goals and optimal mix of modes accordingly. A case study will be selected depending on the audience.

CE Credits for APA, AIA, and ASLA, should be available for many sessions and workshops. More information on this will be available shortly.
