Last week at the CASPT conference in Kyoto, Rafal presented SimFLEX – a microsimulation tool for planning on-demand feeder bus services. It combines demographic, spatial, and transport data to compare urban areas and assess service efficiency. Applied in Kraków’s Skotniki and Bronowice districts, SimFLEX revealed Skotniki as the more attractive site, while Bronowice showed greater potential for wait time reduction. Sensitivity analysis on alternative-specific constants confirmed Skotniki as the preferred deployment site. 🔍 A powerful tool for smarter urban mobility – developed as part of the SUM Project.
