Presentation / Conference Contribution
Camporeale, R., Caggiani, L., Fonzone, A., & Ottomanelli, M. (2016, June). Better for everyone: an approach to multimodal network design considering equity. Presented at International Scientific Conference on Mobility and Transport, Munich, Germany

We propose a formulation of the Network Design Problem (NDP) to support transport planners in dealing with multimodal networks in contexts characterised by different (and sometimes conflicting) interests and limited resources in a transparent way. We... Read More about Better for everyone: an approach to multimodal network design considering equity..
