The Amsterdam pilot, led by AMS Institute, demonstrated joint multimodal management in response to infrastructure disruptions.

The focus was on a key corridor facing challenges due to the IJ tunnel bottleneck, where disruptions resulted in tunnel closures, traffic diversions along the ring road and longer journey times. The presence of a Park and Ride facility and a high-frequency metro line added to the complexity during closures.

The virtual pilot used Amsterdam’s traffic management ecosystem to simulate mobility scenarios and collect data for accurate measurements, with historical traffic data increasing the robustness of the pilot.

The pilot explored traffic management measures to improve the distribution of users across modes and assessed the impact on key performance indicators such as delays and emissions. Scenarios included data-driven simulations, seamless strategies and collaborative actions involving mobility management agencies. Stakeholder involvement guided the scenario design, which was aligned with the long-term vision of the municipality.
