The challenge
With COVID-19, citizens around the world have changed their mobility habits. Major cities and mobility stakeholders are seeking to understand these developments in order to adapt their transport offerings.
With COVID-19, citizens around the world have changed their mobility habits. Major cities and mobility stakeholders are seeking to understand these developments in order to adapt their transport offerings.
Arcadis is participating in the COVIMOB project to understand, through data analysis, changes in the travel behavior of city dwellers in order to help urban stakeholders adapt their service offerings.
Arcadis' data analysis work and knowledge of mobility will enable users to find a mobility offer in their city that is better suited to their new requirements.
With the pandemic, citizens around the world have seen their daily habits upended. Travel has been particularly affected by successive lockdowns. Specifically, major cities have seen a huge rise in popularity for soft modes of transport such as bikes and electric scooters. Are city dwellers gradually shifting from car use to greener, more economical modes of transport? Will COVID-19 transform our relationship with mobility in the long term? Should transport availability in cities be adapted to these changes?
On behalf of the Metropolis of Lyon, Sytral and Laboratoire d'Aménagement et d'Économie des Transport (the Laboratory of Transport, Urban Planning and Economics, or LAET), Arcadis is participating in the COVIMOB project, which aims to observe and analyze changes in mobility following the health crisis.
Using data analysis to understand changes in mobility, Arcadis can support urban stakeholders in rethinking their policies and adapting their service offerings to new uses.
