Effect of network modifications on a french metropolis transportation system by agent-based transport simulations

Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of a network modification on the multimodal transportation system in the Rouen Metropole Normandy region of France using an agentbased transport simulation model. The use of a multi-agent simulation tool allows for a more realistic and accurate representation of individual transportation behavior and enables transportation planners to evaluate the impact of proposed changes on the entire transportation network. To this end, we use MATSIM (MultiAgent Traffic Simulation) tool to develop the considered scenario in which a network update is operated by developing bicycle stations and new transport lines.The simulation parameters used in this study were adapted to the French population based on the MATSim Ile de France scenario, ensuring that the simulation results were applicable and relevant to the transportation system in the Rouen Metropole Normandy region. The main obtained results shows an increase in bike usage (+1.8%) and car-sharing (+1.4%), and a decrease in travel time (-6%). These findings suggest the potential benefits of eco-friendly transportation modes and the need for solutions to address traffic congestion.
