In this new framework, the complex physics, we propose in this paper a modeling of urban mobility based on the physics of the city, essentially in order to understand, describe, explain and, eventually, to predict the origin and the evolution of zigzagging and asystematic mobility, which becomes more and more relevant in the modern and post-modern cities. Moreover implementing the model on a computer, we obtain a virtual urban system, in which we can perform via simulation a large set of experiments, exploring overall the range of the different possible mobility features and criticalities. Finally, we will present a material experiment in order to compare the empirical data with the simulation results, finding a good agreement.

Abstract
In this new framework, the complex physics, we propose in this paper a modeling of urban mobility based on the physics of the city, essentially in order to understand, describe, explain and, eventually, to predict the origin and the evolution of zigzagging and asystematic mobility, which becomes more and more relevant in the modern and post-modern cities. Moreover implementing the model on a computer, we obtain a virtual urban system, in which we can perform via simulation a large set of experiments, exploring overall the range of the different possible mobility features and criticalities. Finally, we will present a material experiment in order to compare the empirical data with the simulation results, finding a good agreement.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
