Redesign of the Leuven ring road
26002
From 2026 to 2027
This project examines the impact of the redevelopment of the Leuven ring road (R23) on traffic and liveability. TML rapidly tests different scenarios using the Traffic Scout model.
The redevelopment of the Leuven ring road raises a key question: how can traffic flow be improved while making the city more liveable, without simply shifting problems elsewhere? Measures such as park-and-ride facilities, bus lanes, and smart traffic management can help, but their overall impact on the route and mode choice is not always clear.
In this project, a range of future scenarios for Leuven are analysed. From a reference situation to concrete design proposals for the R23, each step is tested and refined. This creates an iterative process in which mobility and spatial design go hand in hand.
TML supports this process using the Traffic Scout model, allowing for fast and detailed scenario analysis and testing of ideas. This flexibility turns the model into a key driver of the design process, helping stakeholders make well-informed decisions.
