The study involves developing a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan for the Antananarivo metropolitan area, the capital of Madagascar. This roadmap aims to support the national and local governments in mobility planning and to create effective investment conditions to ensure equitable access to mobility across the entire territory, address significant population growth and urban expansion, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the sector. This requires a mobility assessment, including a household travel survey, origin-destination surveys, and consultations with urban mobility stakeholders.
DVDH is responsible for organizing and supervising the surveys: Household Travel Survey, classified vehicle counts, in-vehicle origin-destination surveys, vehicle occupancy data, etc. Based on these surveys, we contribute to the mobility assessment of the metropolitan area.
We are also in charge of modeling mobility flows for each mode, modeling which we carry out using a free and open-source travel simulation tool: Aequilibrae, as well as using our strategic model methodology which allows us to project the evolution of travel over the study horizons across the entire territory.
