Abstract :

[en] In this paper the authors explain the use of gamification as a way to optimize mobility patterns within a heav- ily congested European City. They explore this from two perspectives, first by outlining a gaming concept and secondly by explaining how the use of a mobility game that took place in two locations can be used to explore incentives and design issues.
