“Activity Based Planning Challenge” Strategies for realizing urban transportation planning using activity-based simulators in Japan

Abstract

The Activity Based Planning Challenge (ABP Challenge) is a project led by National Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM). It uses activity-based models and data from nationwide person trip surveys and other sources to enable analysis of future scenarios of urban residents' transport behavior. The aim is for cities across the country to use digital solutions to achieve urban transportation planning that is compatible with people's well-being and urban sustainability. It is a co-creation project that works with local authorities, private sector, universities and other interest groups across the country.
