Simulation tools are a key part of FEDORA’s approach to building more adaptive, resilient, and future-ready multimodal traffic management solutions. They make it possible to test ideas, assess impacts, and explore different mobility scenarios before solutions are applied in real operational environments.
Within the project, FEDORA is developing simulation tools and environments that bring together different transport modes, user behaviours, and traffic management strategies into a more integrated framework. This helps the consortium examine how innovative services and interventions may perform under a wide range of conditions, including complex and changing urban mobility contexts.
These tools are not limited to technical testing. They also support foresight analysis, allowing FEDORA to explore what-if scenarios, evaluate possible future mobility trends, and better understand how different solutions may respond to disruption, demand shifts, and new multimodal services. This creates a stronger basis for decision-making and helps ensure that the solutions developed in the project are not only innovative, but also robust and relevant for real-world use.
In this video, Katerina Vakrinou, Researcher and PhD Candidate at the National Technical University of Athens, explains how these simulation tools and environments support the FEDORA project. Her contribution highlights the importance of modelling, testing, and scenario exploration in shaping mobility solutions that are safer, more efficient, and better aligned with the realities of tomorrow’s transport systems.
