3 The Netherlands Over 17 million inhabitants 20 million bicycles 27% of all journeys by bike 410 railway stations 45% cycles to the train station Bicycles per inhabitant Netherlands 1.2 Denmark 0.8? Sweden 0.7 Japan 0.6 USA 0.5 Canada 0.4 UK 0.4 China 0.4 France 0.3

4 ProRail Managing the rail infrastructure in the Netherlands 6500 km s rail tracks 410 railway stations 6000 trains a day 1,2 million travelers a day tons cargo a day Including bicycle park facilities at all the 410 railway stations

5 Program Bicycle parking By ministry of Infrastructure & environment Started in 1999 Improving the use of the bicycle to the train Already realized: places Already spend: ca 450 million To go: places To go in s: 300 million Planninghorizon 2030

6 Railway stations are important for: Public transport providers Property developers City authorities Commercial to go formula s And of course the travellers

7 Our challenge: Organize this mess..

12 Why cycling (in the Netherlands)? Efficient Fast Healthy Good for environment But most of all: Cheap!

13 What do Cyclists like? The shortest and quickest route from A to B A -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> B

14 Where do Cyclist want to park their bicycle? The shortest and quickest way and as close by as possible before reaching B A -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> B

15 How do Cyclists want to park their bicycle? Fist off all: Quickly For free Also (but less important for the most in the Netherlands): Safe Dry In a pleasant setting Only 15% of all the cyclists chose for pay parking (guarded)

16 Requirements Bicycle Parking at Railway stations 1. close to the station and easily recognizable 2. easily accessible 3. easy to use bike racks 4. overview and orientation 5. direct walking route to the platforms 6. friendly staff 7. clear rules for behavior 8. strict enforcement of rules

29 Important aspects for choosing the best option 1. Distance bicycle parking-station 2. Logical route 3. Accessibility 4. Image quality 5. Fitting in station concept 6. Safe (social and traffic) 7. Complexity in construction 8. Nuisance during construction 9. Planning risks 10. Total costs (investment, maintenance and operation)

71 Orphan bicycles (no owners known) 15-20% of all the parked bicycles Occupy expensive space Time- consuming and expensive to detect by hand

72 Detection and adress How to detect and find them automated? And also to address the empty spots? In combination with short term parking rules and strict enforcement 30% more empty spots

74 Advise: Think as a cyclist Make the cyclist happy Be creative Cooperate with all stakeholders Check all the costs (not only the investment)
