Impact on the competitiveness of the beneficiaries Sample Clauses

Impact on the competitiveness of the beneficiaries. Direct applications and market prospects The project will advance methodology of land use transport modelling at the theoretical level as well as make its application easier through the testing and additional functionalities generally, but especially to the existing open-source software systems UrbanSim and MATSim. The training activities planned will lower the threshold to the adoption of such advanced tools generally, but obviously for the two tools further here. SustainCity is targeting an audience of real-world city and regional planners outside of the academic field. Planning practise of local and regional authorities will benefit substantially, as these tools become more familiar and easier to implement. The output of the project will be therefore immediately usable by the community. Public agencies and consultants across Europe will benefit from an improved framework which allows them to continuously improve their set of prospective tools. It will also benefit private companies which are selling software or services in transport and land-use by providing interfaces between their own software and UrbanSim (e.g. it was done by PTV America) and MATSim. Their open source nature is and will be a powerful multiplicator as other groups and firms can easily adopt, integrate, tailor and employ the powerful functionalities available. Next to direct benefits to consulting and software firms, the much more important benefits arise from better planned investment and policy decisions of the local and regional authorities, especially through a better informed and less biased decision process as the models summarize the latest data of the relevant region and combine it with the latest and best theoretical insights into urban and demographic development and everyday travel and land use. Potentially patentable ideas Both UrbanSim (OPUS) and MATSim are provided under GNU public licence. No patents are envisaged. Benefits and competitive advantages UrbanSim (OPUS) (xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) is the most mature state-of-the-art platform which is open, extensible and actively maintained. There exist academic and commercial alternatives, such MEPlan (UK), Tranus (Venezuela), Delta (UK), MUSSA (Chile), ILUTE (Canada) or ILUMASS (D), but all are characterised by small development teams, lack of on- going investment (e.g. ILUMASS) and their non-existent interfaces to public domain data and software standards. UrbanSim has several key advantages over its competitors:
