Designing the built environment with the ease of mobility for both pedestrians and vehicles in mind
00:09
is becoming an essential part of urban planning.
00:12
It is predicted that 80% of the world’s population will reside within an urban environment by the year 2050.
00:20
To address this need, the cloud-based Mobility simulation tools in InfraWorks help designers and city planners
00:27
to help people live and move within cities in a safe and efficient manner.
00:31
Many factors have increased the growing demand for mobility solutions.
00:36
Greater prosperity and remote work have prompted people to move around more
00:41
and experience living in different places.
00:44
There is also an increasing demand for multimodal services that combine walking, cars, buses, cycles,
00:52
and trains, and transit-oriented developments are becoming much more popular.
00:57
With this increase in mobility demand, cities are challenged by increasing traffic and transportation problems,
01:03
including inadequate existing infrastructure, congestion problem costs,
01:08
and secondary health problems due to vehicle emissions.
01:12
There are two main categories of users who can best leverage the mobility simulation tools:
01:17
those who deal with crowd simulation and evacuation modeling, and those who design and manage traffic systems.
01:23
Local authorities, any entities that have a campus—such as ports, airports, universities,
01:30
commercial businesses, malls, hospitals, and so forth—as well as engineering service providers
01:37
would all benefit from mobility simulations.
01:40
They may even be required to have a mobility plan in place.
01:44
More obviously, those local authorities who are responsible for traffic control systems,
01:49
including traffic engineers and transportation analysts,
01:53
would benefit from running mobility simulations, both across cities and between them.
01:58
The ability to plan and simulate urban mobility can help address many current issues
02:04
that both waste money and are bad for the environment.
02:07
It can also help to ensure safe and sustainable living and working conditions for a growing population.
