The tactical/action layer is covered by sustainable urban mobility plan (SUMP) (all examples
for layers were collected from transport and mobility domain, the model could be used
for all components of the city not only for transport and mobility). The SUMP has to support
the city governance in finding the best solution for urban mobility and has to be an instru-
