Summary
Harmony Model Suite is a next-generation digital twin platform integrating spatial and transport models for strategic, tactical and operational planning of passengers and freight. HARMONY offers hundreds of KPIs to support decision-making, enabling detailed evaluation of impact scenarios on citizens and travel behaviour through an activity-based modelling module. The platform is software agnostic and allows the use of a wide range of spatial and transport models that are either already hosted on the platform or connected through adaptors to existing models. The HARMONY Model Suite operates on three integrated levels of modelling: strategic, covering regional economics, demographic forecasting, land use, spatial freight interaction and long-term mobility choice models; Tactical, featuring a fully agentbased passenger and freight demand model; and Operational, addressing transport supply and demand interactions at high granularity. Furthermore, the results from the deployment of the Model Suite are transferable from pioneering to aspiring metropolitan areas, supporting the update of SUMPs across Europe.
Good Example
Applied in HARMONY pilot areas (e.g., Rotterdam and Turin) to model and evaluate spatial/transport planning scenarios across strategic, tactical and operational levels, producing evidence-based recommendations to support updates of local Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs).
