Mobility and accessibility study parking Carrefour Herstal

Study about the traffic circulation around the parking site of Carrefour in Herstal

This study will consider the effects on traffic circulation by means of scenarios and suggests possible solutions to the mobility problems surrounding the site of Carrefour Herstal. There are often long jams for the access to the site, and long delays at the traffic lights at the parking’s exits. The scenarios are considered in relation to a predefined base case that describes the current state of the site. The effects on the traffic circulation will then be studied by means of traffic volumes and travel time losses.

By interpreting the results, we will be able to make an objective and quantitative comparison between these scenarios with respect to the base case on the one hand, and between the scenarios themselves on the other hand. For the study, we intend to use a micro simulation model, which allowed us to explicitly take the interactions between individual vehicles into account.
