Join us for an exciting exploration of how gamification is revolutionizing the way we approach travel behavior. From encouraging eco-friendly commuting to getting us out on our bikes more at the weekend, gamification has emerged as a powerful tool in shaping our transportation choices. In this lunchtime webinar, we'll dive deep into the intersection of game design and sustainable travel, uncovering its impact, challenges, and potential. As background reading on the potential in this approach, please see Gamification in transport interventions: another way to improve travel behavioural change (trb.org) and Initiatives and challenges in using gamification in transportation: a systematic mapping | European Transport Research Review | Full Text (springeropen.com).
