Visualized construction traffic planning for disturbance free city development (Byggfrid)

Purpose and goal

The purpose of the project has been to develop knowledge and skills that enable the development of a planning system to visualize the traffic impact of construction transport in urban planning processes. Specifically, the project has resulted in: 1) A methodology for estimating construction traffic flows 2) Models for estimating construction traffic impact based on different data 3) Visualization prototypes for exploring different construction traffic and traffic administration scenarios 4) Input to different policies and processes within urban and traffic planning

Expected results and effects

The project has developed aprototype tool that supports collaborative planning of construction traffic by visualizing the total amount of transportation in ongoing construction projects and where in the city there are disturbances in the form of delays due to these. To support planning by visualizing the effects of different scenarios to reduce construction transport disturbances (delay effects on city traffic), we contribute to reducing the costs of building new houses and new infrastructure. The risks for third parties are also as construction traffic is reduced.

Planned approach and implementation

The work has been divided into three areas, user perspective, data collection and modeling. The work with the prototype tool has been iterative, where we started with problem formulation from the user perspective, then concept development, which led to data collection and modeling. In order to create the tool, we developed a common database from which the user interface retrieved data to visualize, while the modeling part entered data in the form of results for different scenarios. The prototypes have been validated through tests with project participants.
