Abstract

A main key success for public transportation networks is their tuning by the analysis of mobility demand with respect to the offer in terms of public transportation means. Most of the solutions at the state of the art have strong limitations in taking into account: multiple contextual information as attractors/motivations for people movements, modalities of travel means, multiple operators, and a range of key performance indicators. For these reasons, a model for analyzing the demand with respect to the offer of mobility has been studied, and the corresponding tool DORAM developed. DORAM allows to perform the analysis of alternative scenarios, as what-if analyses, when the transport service offer and the mobility demand changed in the scenario, adopting a fast-computation strategy to compare scenarios with the aim of detecting/identifying motivations of crowded conditions on stops and on the vehicles. The analysis can exploit a wide range of data sources when computing a set of key performance indicators. The DORAM solution has been defined and developed in the MOSAIC research and development project with ALSTOM and other companies. The DORAM solution is validated by using real data and conditions in the Tuscany region.
