Multimodal Solutions for Optimizing -Road Networks in Urban and Peri-Urban Areas - Case Studies

Mobility in urban areas faces complex problems which need to be managed within spatial and budgetary constraints. It is therefore necessary to optimize road networks through better integration with other forms of transport (rail, active modes, etc.) utilizing a multimodal approach. The Working Group 2 “Integrated transportation systems, multimodality” has researched case studies and good practices on multimodality in several cities and peri-urban areas around the world. This report contains the collection of case studies related to good practices of multimodal optimization of road networks in terms of efficiency, resilience and sustainability. The case studies included in this report represent the current state of good practice and highlight the benefits and impacts of each project, and analyze the efficiency, the resilience and the sustainability. It does not contain any conclusions or recommendations on multimodal solutions for optimizing road networks. They will be part of a second publication of the WG2.1.2, which is a Briefing Note.
