Project deliverable Open

Review of new forms of mobility, freight distribution and their business models; gaps identification in KPIs and SUMPs

Description

This deliverable aims to build a rich knowledge bank to be used as a basis for the discussion of key topics with stakeholders and the definition of the conceptual HARMONY MS architecture. Three different areas of analysis are covered: i) the new mobility technologies and services for passenger and freight, complemented by the analysis of strategic, tactical and operational models that are currently developed and used; ii) the policy appraisal methods, the KPIs, and SUMPs guidelines that EU uses for regional spatial and transport planning has been conducted and iii) the SUMPs and the spatial and transport strategies of the six HARMONY areas (Rotterdam, Oxfordshire county, Turin, Athens, Trikala and Upper Silesian-Zaglebe). The review the new mobility technologies and services for passenger and freight has been completed by conducting extensive desk research on documents regarding the European Union’s strategies as well as publications from individual researchers and research groups. This analysis is reported in Section A, and it has been the basis to extrapolate the key input for the definition of baseline scenarios for regional and transport planning. Having in mind the projected timeline of the new services and technologies, different baseline scenarios have been defined for short-term (about 5 years), mid-term (up to 15 years from today), and long-term (15 to 30) years regional and transport planning. To complement the analysis, an extensive and comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art of for multiscale spatial and transport planning has been conducted. Considering that HARMONY’s ultimate objective is to deliver a fully operational integrated land-use and transport simulation platform, a few attempts to integrate and operationalize independent simulators have been presented. The analysis of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) guidelines is presented in Section B of the report, identifying gaps and evaluating the validity of the process in the light of new mobility services. An overview of policy appraisal methods used for regional spatial and transport planning is also included, together with the analysis of Key performance indicators used to measure sustainable mobility in urban areas. Following the overview on SUMP and appraisal methods, the final section of the deliverable provides a description of the status of spatial and transport strategies and SUMPs of the six HARMONY areas: Rotterdam, Oxfordshire county, Turin, Athens, Trikala and Upper Silesian-Zaglebe. The picture resulting from the analysis of the involved metropolitan areas is quite heterogeneous: in some case a SUMP has been developed and it is planned to be updated or integrated with action programmes for specific aspects, in other cases it is under definition for the first time, while in some others similar planning documents (sharing most of the basic principles) are being developed. For each case study the document provides a description of the metropolitan area, an overview of the status of urban planning and finally focuses on the key elements of the SUMP or the similar planning document (depending case by case on the respective development stage).
