Exploratory dynamic modelling of modal choices towards carbon free urban transport in Helsinki, Finland
VTT has investigated the potential of relatively small, exploratory, dynamic models to produce insight for policy-making to facilitate at modal shifts towards carbon free urban transport. Further, the key elements that build such a model have been identified.
To offer citizens alternative modal...
