Playful Planning: Citizens making sense of transit systems and impacts

交通规划模拟游戏已经被用来确定驾驶员对路线引导建议的反应， 分析轨道交通与城市发展之间的相互作用，发现合作的价值 在土地使用和交通发展过程中的规划。相比之下，没有发现任何尝试 利用交通规划模拟游戏，让市民了解可持续发展的因素和障碍 运输目前，市政厅会议和互联网调查通常是决策者和 规划官员用来与公众互动或参与，以及参与的公众比例 这些公民体验是非常小的。 黑弧（TBA）预计公民参与是未来规划过程的关键组成部分。 TBA目前面临的问题是由于难以让公民与规划联系起来， 了解它如何影响他们每天的生活。这一问题因以下困难而加剧： 理解和模拟运输系统的供需双方，包括其 空间网络的互动。凭借其固有的合作，竞争，奖励和乐趣的元素，TBA 预计，游戏将增加额外的激励因素，可以吸引人们参与到一个 综合和参与性的土地使用-运输规划进程。 本研究项目旨在开发一种模拟模型和技术，专门提供易于访问的 关于过境备选方案的信息，鼓励使用过境，并探索运输适应能力。的 “视频游戏”形式将为不同利益相关者之间提供一种新型的“情景交换”， 沟通基本的权衡，如交通如何影响社区步行能力，交通和 温室气体排放。

Transit planning simulation games have been used to determine drivers' reaction to route guidance advice, analyse the interplay between rail transport and urban development and discover the value of cooperative planning in the land use and transportation development process. In contrast, no attempts have been found in using transit planning simulation games to engage citizens to understand the factors and barriers of sustainable transportation. Currently, town-hall meetings and Internet surveys are typically the tools that policymakers and planning officials use to interact or engage with the public, and the percentage of the public that participates in these civic experiences is very small. The Black Arcs (TBA) anticipates civic engagement as a key component to the planning process in the future. The problem TBA is currently facing is due to the difficulty of having citizens connecting to planning and understanding how it affects their lives each day. This problem is aggravated by the difficulty in comprehending and modelling of both supply and demand sides of transportation systems, including their interactions on spatial networks. With its inherent elements of collaboration, competition, reward and fun, TBA expects that game play will add additional motivational factors that could entice people to participate in an integrated and participatory land use-transportation planning processes. This research project aims to develop a simulation model and technology to specifically provide easy-to-access information on transit options, incentivise the use of transit, and explore transport adaptive capacity. The "video-game" format will provide a new type of "scenario exchange" between different stakeholders and communicate fundamental trade-offs such as how transit impacts things like community walkability, traffic and GHG emissions.
