Abstract

Serving the goal of enhancing the participatory approach of sustainable urban mobility planning for delivering acceptable and viable mobility plans, the current paper presents the MOTIVATE Interactive Learning Environment (ILE)/Game. Based on the System Dynamics (SD) methodology and answering to the need for catching up to the interactivity trend, the MOTIVATE ILE offers the user with a simplified experiential procedure for understanding the consequences of mode choice and sustainable decision making. Moreover, the rewarding system proposed for allowing the performance of actions while using the ILE transforms the user into an active agent of mobility planning by asking him/her to provide travel data and opinions for the improvement of city’s daily transportation performance.
