Project description
Paving the way for efficient multimodal transport
Transports systems are crucial for passengers in maintaining logistics and the efficient operation of organisations, countries and more. However, as we face the dangers of climate change, the transport operation systems must be more efficient and optimised to reduce emissions and damage to the environment while also maintaining efficiency. The EU-funded MultiModX project will develop a set of multimodal solutions and decision support tools that will allow for the efficient and coordinated planning and running of multimodal transport networks. The project will also develop an assessment and modelling framework to help improve current passenger-centric assessments.
Objective
The vision of MultiModX is that of a multimodal European transport system in which air and rail networks are planned and managed in a coordinated manner to maximise the efficiency, predictability, environmental sustainability and resilience of the door-to-door passenger journey. The goal of MultiModX is to develop a set of innovative multimodal solutions and decision support tools for the coordinated planning and management of multimodal transport networks. MultiModX develops a multimodal modelling and evaluation framework, including a set of key performance areas and indicators, that enable a comprehensive characterisation of the impact of multimodal transport sytems and multimodal solutions for a range of stakeholders. It will improve existing indicators and metrics and complements current frameworks by more meaningful passenger-centric metrics for better measures of significant disruption (e.g. longer delays, missed connections, denied boarding, cancellations). This MultiModX Performance Assessment Solution will support the design, implementation and evaluation of these (and other) multimodal solutions by enabling ex-ante assessment and ex-post monitoring of their impact on a comprehensive set of KPIs. A Schedule Design Solution will enable the coordinated design of air and rail schedules according to expected demand behaviour. The Disruption Management Solution will support decision-makers response to disruptive events in real time in order to minimise the impact on the passengers, profiting from the extension of the A-CDM concept to other transport modes. In order to nurture the conditions for the transfer of the MultiModX Solutions to the subsequent stages of the R&I cycle stakeholders are engaged throughout the full project lifecycle for validation and discussion purposes, as well as disseminating the project outcomes to potential adopters and ensuring that the components developed contain a clear definition of integration and datasets requirements.
