The SmartHubs Accessibility Tool is designed as a user-friendly planning tool designed to assist planners and practitioners in developing and testing mobility hub scenarios. The tool aims to measure amenity accessibility using various modes of transportation (walking, cycling, e-scooters, public transport) to and from mobility hubs. Although the analysis that the tool performs is relatively simple, the tool stands out for its automation and user-friendliness, eliminating the need for GIS software expertise. The approachable interface and automated processes cater to users of all skill levels, while advanced users can download outputs for further analysis in external GIS software. The SmartHubs Accessibility Tool was also used for the impact assessment part of the SmartHubs project. The impact assessment examines the accessibility implications of mobility hubs in each of the living lab cities.
