We develop a passenger transport model for the North of France and use it to discuss the impacts of some policies focusing on the limitations of emissions and congestion. The model is calibrated for the North of France, and includes both urban and intercity trips. Four transport modes are considered: walking, biking, public transport and private cars. The model is calibrated to match the mode shares and the dynamic of congestion along a full day. The simulations are conducted within the MATSim framework. We evaluate the impacts, on traffic flows and emissions, of two pricing reforms: free public transport and road pricing in city center of Lille (the main metropolitan area in the study region).
