abstract
The goal of this project is to develop a digital twin of the socio-economic landscape of students and their families in the city of Bologna. This digital twin
will serve as a simulation and analysis tool to understand how different socio-economic groups interact with the city’s infrastructure—particularly at key access points such as city entrances, transportation hubs, and restricted traffic zones (ZTL).
By estimating mobility-related statistics at these access points and linking them to socio-economic profiles, the system aims to simulate how changes in
urban mobility policies—such as new ZTL restrictions, car access tariffs, or public transportation adjustments—affect the behavior and movement patterns of different population segments.
This tool will help policymakers evaluate the social and economic impact of urban planning decisions, promoting more equitable and data-informed approaches to mobility management in Bologna.
