Analyzing the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on mobility to adapt service offerings in major cities

As part of this work, Arcadis is looking to understand how traffic levels are changing across different modes of transport (car, bike and subway) and in different territories, and the impact of public policies designed to promote soft modes of transport. The aim is to detect new mobility trends or even lasting changes.

Drawing on its expertise in data analysis, Arcadis has mobilized the most suitable tools to build a database allowing all project stakeholders to monitor developments and easily share the data collected. While this project focuses on Lyon and the Rhône department, it also collects and compares the indicators of several other major cities, including Paris, New York and Amsterdam. The project data, which will continue to be enriched over time, helps to highlight lessons learned and trends, such as the impact of remote working on the use of different means of transport, changes in the choice of modes of transport or the major challenges faced by public transport networks to restore their traveler numbers and funding levels.This data and Arcadis' knowledge of mobility also allow projections to be made.

Arcadis is thus helping to improve the mobility experience of city dwellers by enabling them to find a transport offer better suited to their changing needs and expectations.
