Dynamic road space allocation is gaining attention in transportation planning as cities face space constraints, population growth, and demand for sustainable designs. Many cities aim to reduce car dependency gradually, but this shift could impact vulnerable groups like the elderly… Read More »Old Dog, New Tricks: The effect of dynamic road implementation on elder accessibility
Urbanization, shrinking transport space, and rising vehicle numbers challenge urban accessibility, leading to congestion, pollution, and longer commutes. To address this, low-car urban zones and multi-modal traffic management—incorporating cycling, walking, shared mobility, and public transport—are vital. However, balancing conflicting stakeholder… Read More »Augmented ε-Constraint-Based Optimization for Multi-Objective Multi-Modal Transport Networks Management
