Thesis
SHOPPING
CONTINUE
The popularity of online commerce continues to increase. In response to this increase, freight transport throughout the city also increases. Private shopping traffic decreases.
The popularity of online commerce does not increase. Freight and private shopping traffic stay roughly the same.
The popularity of online commerce increases. Customers, however, still travel to shop. The result of this is that freight and private shopping increase.

Conclusion
• Simulation game is developed for use within SUMP process
To introduce participants in the complexity of mobility based forecasts
As basis for compiling common scenarios
• Game users have to choose between different thesis refering to mobility related topics
• Choices of all participants are saved and can be evaluated To identify most frequently chosen thesis, which
can be combined to scenarios
• Introduction for the discussion process on how mobility will develop and which measures are the best in this context
