“…Towards this direction, several research programs and relevant studies were conducted, feeding with their deliverables, the city's inventory with mobility management suggestions, active travel audits and a local plan for bicycle use enhancement [76]. The most recent Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the city included a methodological approach comprising a comprehensive "before and after" study that considers the impact of traffic calming measures on traffic flows, travel speed, traffic accidents, fuel consumption, GHG and air pollutant emissions, while it also considers the acceptance of the examined interventions, as perceived by the locals [77].…”

Pedestrians–cyclists shared spaces, sidewalks and streets are now a commonly implemented urban design solution in many cities, due to the willingness to promote sustainable mobility and the non-availability of public space. The proper design and management of these infrastructures requires an accurate evaluation of their performance. The most dominant evaluation metric is the level of service (LOS) and various methodologies have been proposed in the literature for its assessment in infrastructures that are being used by pedestrians, cyclists or by both of these two types of users. The present paper gathers and presents various methodologies, and it applies some of them on two pedestrians-cyclists shared spaces in a medium-sized city in Greece. The outcomes of the methodologies are being compared both among themselves and in relation to the opinions of the users, who participated in a questionnaire survey. The review of the literature, along with the application of some of the methodologies, leads to a fruitful discussion, which sets the groundwork for future research in the field of LOS and it also assists practitioners in selecting the appropriate methodologies for the assessment of pedestrian–cyclists shared spaces.

Traffic simulation tools are widely used in analyzing and enhancing the forecasting, planning, design, operations, and management of transportation systems. Despite the increasing use of traffic simulation through the years, there are still many needs and issues facing transportation agencies and modelers in their use of traffic simulation. These needs and issues have not been sufficiently surveyed and summarized in the literature. The goal of this study is to identify the current applications, needs, and issues of traffic simulation modeling based on a survey of public and private agencies in Florida, U.S. The study conducted an online survey of traffic simulation modelers in Florida, followed by phone interviews with a subset of the respondents to the survey. The survey addressed the types of the utilized traffic analysis and simulation tools, utilized simulation guidance, utilized traffic data and performance measures, calibration processes and resources utilized by agencies, the current practice of future year demand forecasting, and perspective on the simulation of emerging technologies. The results from this study will help understand the present situation of applying traffic simulation and future needs to enhance simulation modeling capabilities and practices.
