PLANOVA

PLANOVA addresses a challenge that Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) faces in the development of its new master plan across 36 towns and cities: fragmented, outdated transport planning tools. The traditional tools are laborious, expensive, opaque and require deep expertise, which limits broader participation.

PLANOVA offers a digital twin that integrates heterogeneous mobility data into one unified platform. The solution combines automated data ingestion, AI-driven traffic simulation and a scenario evaluation web application designed for users without technical simulation expertise. In doing so, it democratises access to advanced transport modelling, which empowers a broader range of stakeholders to engage in evidence-based urban planning.

Built on successful pilots in Zurich and Munich, PLANOVA significantly reduces engineering time, increases model transparency, and allows decision-makers to design, test and share mobility strategies more effectively.

The project will be piloted with AMB in Barcelona, leveraging their data sources and local agency connections. By streamlining planning processes and improving the transparency and usability of complex models, PLANOVA contributes to more inclusive, sustainable and efficient metropolitan transport systems.
