Dataset assoziated with the paper "Optimisation of mobility hub locations for a sustainable mobility system"

This is supplementary data for the paper 'Optimisation of mobility hub locations for a sustainable mobility system'. The Excel file 'InputParameters' contains the parameters used as input for the bilevel optimization model. Note that it contains two sheets: one for the calibrated parameters in the utility function, and one for the mode-specific input parameters. The external cost data are based on the study by Bieler, C. & Sutter, D. (2019), whereas the cost parameters were derived from the websites of the local service providers.

The result folder contains the result files of all the experiments discussed in the paper. Each subfolder corresponds to one test instance. The subfolders contain the information on the built mobility hubs (build_mobilityhubs.csv), the modal split information (wegcount.rating.csv for both absolute and proportional data), the number of transfers for each mode at each station (transfercount.csv), and also the full list of modes that each user group used in their travels (user_paths.csv). Note that the stations are given by ID, and the ID is taken from the GTFS data for Aachen.

The additional experiments from Section 5.5 on the modal split for a higher number of bike- and car-sharing stations are contained in the "Further Maximization of Sharing Modes Test.zip." Each subfolder contains specific data for the test instances, while the Excel sheet modal_split_Percent.xlsx summarizes and visualizes the modal split data.

Further result data can be provided upon request.
