  • We collaborate closely with Tomàs De La Barra (Modelistica company, Professor at Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo (Venezuela)). Tomàs De La Barra is the foundator of the Land-Use and Transport Integrated Model Tranus. In the framework of this collaboration, Tomàs visited us for one week to advance the calibration of Tranus on Grenoble, and an ECOS NORD project has been submitted.

  • Abstract: Having quantified elements on urban dynamics is necessary if one wants to implement policies that are coherent with sustainable urban objectives. Land use and transport integrated (LUTI) models enable such a quantification. Their use has successfully increased in the framework of urban prospect where environmental issues are preponderant. A large dissemination of such tools in the local authority agencies is nowadays crucial to evaluate urban policies, yet limited by various difficulties, such as lack of robustness and calibration issues. The objective of this project is to bring answers to these limitations. We choose to focus on the Tranus model, one of the most used LUTI model. Our work will be organized in three research directions. First, we aim at analyzing how Tranus is used by local agencies. Then, a comparison between the Tranus implementation and use for the cities of Grenoble (France) and Caracas (Venezuela) is planned. And finally semi-automatic calibration tools will be developed, and an uncertainty and sensitivity analysis will be performed.
