- Summary:
- Geographers associated with the French National Research Agency's project on sustainable cities focus on characterizing the supply of urban transport and estimating its demand. They cover modeling transport systems on an intra-urban scale, determining public transport supply, defining intermodal accessibility, characterizing form and functioning of transportation networks, estimating transport demand, other modes of representation for visualizing daily mobility, and a necessary multi-critical approach to guiding a tram-train installation.
