SINA: A simulation tool to support sustainable leisure mobility planning for urban recreational areas

The SINA project is developing a simulation tool that quantifies the effects of planning measures on the proportion of sustainable leisure and local recreation mobility among different user groups. The simulation tool is based on systematic knowledge gathered during the project regarding the factors influencing mode shifts, which, using a PPGIS approach, also incorporates personal aspects of everyday urban life.

The SINA project is an innovative simulation tool designed to make urban mobility climate-neutral through targeted, effective service planning, including for recreational use. Thus, in line with all tender objectives, SINA represents an innovative solution component for climate-friendly leisure mobility and supports the planning of mobility services to offer a comprehensive eco-friendly transport network that meets the needs of all user groups. The central goal is to promote climate-neutral forms of urban mobility in leisure travel to local recreation areas by developing a simulation tool to support planning and formulate planning recommendations regarding the most effective measures and levers. In this context, the simulation tool also serves as a basis for decision-making, showing which measures significantly enhance the attractiveness of the leisure mobility offering and thus enable the personal realization of sustainable leisure and local recreation mobility across all social groups.
