Reactive Agent-based Tangible simulation for decision making in urban studies

Project description

New tools for decisionmaking in urban studies

The EU-funded ReAgent project focuses on co-constructed pluri-disciplinary approaches of modelling and participatory simulation to improve decision making and urban planning strategies in Lyon, France. The project will study the impacts of urban policies using agent based-models (ABM) to handle real-time visualisation tasks applied both to data and simulation outputs. These models will be displayed on a physical 3D model of the city: the tangible user interface (TUI). ABM coupled with TUI represents a radically new decision support tool for Lyon, which can be used to explore and assess new urban planning strategies that meet citizens' and stakeholders' needs. The fellowship will be carried out at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, in collaboration with LABEX IMU and Lyon Urban School.

Objective

Cities have to develop new ways to manage road infrastructures and vehicle flows to improve air quality. In the last decades, in the field of urban planning, many advances have been made, however the urban planning processes are still reliant on very traditional approaches that are very laborious and are highly dependent on intellectual processes.
ReAgents focuses on urban modelling, and participatory simulation for future mobility to improve decision making and urban planning strategy in the Metropole de Lyon. The fellowship will be carried out at Unviersité Claude Bernard Lyon 1 (UCBL) under the supervision of Gilles Gesquiere deputy director of a national “Laboratory of Excellence” (LabEx) project entitled IMU (“Intelligence des Mondes Urbains”/ Intelligences of Urban Worlds).
The experienced researcher will model and simulate the impacts of urban policies on traffic and air pollution emissions using agent based-models (ABM). These models will be displayed on a physical 3D model of the city, called tangible user interface (TUI). ABM coupled with TUI represents a radically new decision support tool for the different stakeholders of the Metropole de Lyon which can be used to explore and assess new urban planning strategies that meet citizens and stakeholders needs.
The ReAgent project will reinforce the ER’s interdisciplinary research and transferable skills as well as its professional network in both the academic and private sectors since universities, public actors (including the Metropole de Lyon), associations and companies are involved as partners in IMU.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
