This repository contains the code of the Strategic and Tactical Evaluation of Air-Rail Multimodal Networks. This is SESAR Solution 399 coordinated by the University of Westminster (Centre for Air Traffic Management Research) within the MultiModX project.
Solution 399 – Multimodal Performance Evaluation measures door-to-door passenger outcomes using a structured catalogue of passenger-centric indicators, extending existing aviation performance frameworks to multimodal journeys and providing open-source tools for evaluating multimodal networks.
Solution 399 is composed of four main elements:
- A Multimodal and Passengers Experience Performance Framework: A Digital Catalogue of Indicators that complements and extends the SESAR Performance Framework to include passenger-centric aspects capturing door-to-door multimodal itineraries.
- A Strategic Multimodal Evaluator: This evaluator can assess planned air, rail and multimodal networks. From the demand and supply (flight and rail schedules and infrastructure aspects), the model computes the realisation of the network.
- A Pre-Tactical Multimodal Evaluator: This is a functionality which can evaluate the impact on passengers of the replanning of air and rail operations, e.g. in the case of disruptions.
- A Tactical Multimodal Evaluator: Simulates the day of operations with a focus on the air-rail connectivity using an extension of Mercury.
The models are complemented by:
- A Performance Indicators Computation: Functionalities to compute PI and KPIs from the outcome of the Evaluators.
- A Strategic Dashboard: To visualise some of the Strategic Evaluator results.
