About SPROUT Urban Policy Model
The Urban Policy Model was developed in the context of the H2020 SPROUT project for a better understanding of the interrelations between urban mobility operations, new mobility solutions and urban policies and to gain insight into how the system behaves as well as how effective the potential policies could be. Towards this aim, the main objectives can be summarized in the following three points:
- Provide insight on which are the main elements of an urban mobility ecosystem that drive and harness innovation
- Identify the innovation readiness of the SPROUT cities and what their strong and weak points are and where
- Gain insight into how a specific policy and measure may dynamically affect the urban mobility environment and the final costs generated to the society, the environment, and the economy.
