ANALYTICS AND INSIGHTS
Analytics and Insights
MUSA Lab targets methodological and practical contributions to unleash the power of analytics for urban transport. We extract meaningful insights from vast datasets, unlocking patterns and trends that help cities understand and predict urban mobility dynamics.
Our comprehensive analyses inform stakeholders, from city planners to policymakers, enabling them to make informed choices. Whether it’s evaluating the impact of a new transit route or understanding commuter preferences, our analytics provide a deep dive into the realities of urban movement.
Examples
- LNER Power of One Campaign Evaluation
- Use of Social Media for mobility insights
- VOI Scooters
MODELLING AND SIMULATION
Modelling and Simulation
Forecasting the future of urban transport requires advanced modelling and simulation capabilities. MUSA Lab excels in creating detailed, realistic models that simulate various transport scenarios. From assessing the viability of a new transport system to predicting the impacts of potential policy changes, our models offer a virtual playground for experimentation. With each simulation, we aim to prepare cities for the myriad of transport challenges they might face, ensuring resilience and sustainability.
Examples
- Software Agnostic Integration of Emerging Mobility Simulation (HARMONY)
- Advanced Modelling for Transport Management (SYNCHROMODE)
