How to read the complexity of our cities and make informed decisions? The availability of real-time mobility data is changing the way we can approach city design and operations. Our goal is to define a robust methodology capable of investigating an endless variety of contexts, identifying the most relevant mobility patterns and metrics that are yet to be revealed.
During the last years, sharing mobility is one of the emerging transport modes, but seldom its planning is entrusted to private operators and not seen as a major vector of urban mobility. The understanding on how the introduction of sustainable ... Read More
The Walk Score is an urban metric that gives a comprehensive overview of a city’s walkability and is widely used to assess the accessibility of cities, neighborhoods and specific places based on the essential services availability. Nevertheless, the estimation of ... Read More
The research investigated citizens’ travel data in Bologna using the GPS data collected through the Pollicino project. The proposed analysis uncovered soft modes as predominant and concentrated in central zones. Temporal assessments unveil peak travel times, while clustering reveals unique ... Read More
Thanks to the recent developments in ICT tools for collecting traffic data in the urban environment, there is an ever-growing availability of videos capturing the nerve centers of cities (e.g., live streaming webcams, CCTV systems, etc.). This enables detailed analyses ... Read More
Affordable housing is an integral aspect that determines the level of equity, for it to function sustainably, it is important to ensure that these units are placed in high-opportunity neighborhoods, that provide good proximity and accessibility to essential social determinants. ... Read More
Since the introduction of the Social Logic of Space (Hillier and Hanson, 1984) and the further developments of Space Syntax theories during the following decades (Hillier et al., 1996; Hillier, 2007), the proposed methodologies have been proven effective to analyze ... Read More
Covid-19 pandemic has deeply affected urban mobility: the social-distancing strategies adopted to cope with the virus transmission pushed the majority of city users into avoiding public transport services in favour of safe and contactless travel options. To investigate this phenomenon, ... Read More
The development of new technologies is shaping the growth of cities in many ways. Among these, the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), the high-resolution global positioning system (GPS), big data and new building materials and techniques are expected ... Read More
The recent developments of ICT tools for collecting traffic data in the urban environment have allowed a tremendous increase in the quality and amount of easily accessible data. This enables transport planners and decision makers to analyze, explain, and estimate ... Read More
Within the research activities of Transform Transport on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on urban mobility (see the recently published booklet ‘Shifting Paradigm’), this study is focused on the analysis of a large sample of structured proprietary data gathered ... Read More
