Abstract

Mobility infrastructure planning is an increasingly crucial aspect of environmental planning, essential to boost regional economies and social relations, as well as critical for environmental impacts involved.

Structuring inherently complex issues and problems is a major challenge of mobility planning. Today, therefore, a major issue is the setting up of system architectures that take into account the impacts of the mobility system on environmental and social quality.

A multi-agent approach is seen as useful to let local stakeholders interact, meanwhile learning from each others’ attitudes and cognitions. The present paper deals with the building up of an IT-based multi-agent platform in public interaction forums, particularly envisioning alternative mobility scenarios in the plan of the Italian province of Foggia.

The present study was carried out by the authors as a joint research work. Nonetheless, chapter 1 was written by D.Borri, chapters 2, 4 were written by D.Camarda, chapter 3 were written by A. De Liddo. The authors are particularly grateful to G. CaratĂą, L. Grassini, M. Patano, for their important contribution to the discussion ground of the present paper.
