Abstract: Transportation systems are complex yet vital infrastructures. Different
stakeholders have to work together to guarantee the most efficient traffic
of humans and goods. Challenges that stakeholders face in such infrastructure
systems, like divergent interests and attitudes, make it hard to predict behaviour.
To understand the complex systems including the behaviour of the stakeholders,
it is relevant to model decision-making processes. For this reason, simulation
games were developed. The present article focuses on two different case studies.
Both are studies in which board games were used. After explaining each case
study, a comparative section follows to give an overview about advantages and
disadvantages of the use of board games in the transportation sector.
