Mobility Experience Decision support system for pre-assessing PEDedestrian walkability through on-site and off-site simulation

The MED4PED project focuses on walkability in urban settings, addressing the evolving physical environment and lifestyles. It aims to provide effective management methods for informed urban planning and design decision-making, considering urban and social dimensions.

The proposal involves the development of an integrated system supporting decision-making through data analysis and virtual-reality simulation. This system anticipates walking experience outcomes and proposes objective and perceptual solutions, such as policies, plans, and road designs.

The MED4PED project includes an app, mobility simulators, and a usage protocol, configured as a Decision Support System for Public Administrations and other stakeholders involved in mobility decisions. It offers functionalities such as addressing design briefs, comparing alternative solutions, and validating choices before implementation. Evaluations encompass both qualitative and quantitative measures.

Overall, MED4PED serves as a comprehensive solution for urban mobility design phases and functions as a risk management tool for economic and social aspects.
