SCITHOS simulation tool pilot

The power of simulation: from simulation to stimulation.

The tool makes it possible to simulate the travel behavior of visitors in a tourist region with a semi-rural character (as a basic scenario). A simulation is an imitation of reality. The great advantage of a simulation is that it takes place in a controlled, well-defined environment.

Resources needed

Investments
Yearly maintenance
Pilot costs
Costs permanent solution	The simulation tool is a software tool. Software is depending on updates and maintenance.
Timeframe: solution acception, how long does this need to be adopted by the initiator?
Which resources are in the pilot and which are not	Relevant and reliable datasets of available resources, travel behavior patterns etc.
Ideas about optimilisation for the future	By monitoring new innovative and sustainable mobility initiatives in the region of study, the simulation can be improved (by testing assumptions made before introducing new mobility concepts).
