Case studies in Europe

1 Case studies in Europe Positive and Negative Examples Prof. Hermann Knoflacher TUW-IVV

2 How to solve conflicts between heavy road traffic, public transport, pedestrians and cycles without new road construction Wabern in Switzerland

3 Switzerland: Wabern Bern ADT+ Tram in 6 Min

4 No detour road or motorway, but reduction of space for cars + cycle lanes + priority for tram

5 Priority for Tram!

6 West Germany Hannover region How to fulfill the needs of the people and not the needs for car drivers

7 Germany Hannover ADT, 4 lanes but not enough space for pedestrian and cyclists

8 ADT is not anymore the leading indicator! It has to be subordinated under the needs of the local society

9 Trees, sidewalks, cycling, public transport

10 Austria Eisenstadt, inhabitants How to make a city liveable, economically successful an interesting tourist place and support local development

11 Eisenstadt before cars, 6000 pedestrians per day

12 Eisenstadt after: pedestrians per day plus

13 Change of structures changes the behavior 80 pedestrianisation, city taxi, traffic calming, cycle paths [%] Year

14 Austria Vienna 1,6 Million inhabitants How to change the people behavior to increase cycling, increase walking, increase use of public transport, etc

15 1909 Motorization is starting

16 1964 crowded with cars, today pedestrian area

17

18 Austria Vienna 1.6 Mio inhabitants What happens to the city if it built motorways even as bypass roads...accidents...economy...population

19 A 22 A

21 Number of accidents with injured people

23 Austria Vienna 1.6 Mio inhabitants What happens to the city if it builds motorways even as bypass roads...accidents...economy...population

24

25 A Motorway was opened in

26 Verkehrsauswirkungen Example:Schlachthausstreet Motorway A the real system effect! Forecast, expectation and modelling by traditional experts vor 1 year after A years after A23 opening

27 accidents more over the time estimation Schätzung Beob observation Number of accidents with injured people

28 Schlanders, Italy How to make a small city stronger enhance the attractivity, strenghten local economy and open new opportunities

29 Parking after bypass road

30

31 Today: 9800 customers in a pedestrian area

32 Other measures Minor but effective measures Removal of bus bays Elevated intersections Ramps for speed control Parking management Change of guidelines and regulations Introduction of market principles into the transport sector Night time ban of truck traffic in cities and sensitive regions Cycle lanes and cycle parking Roundabouts instead two level intersection Narrow lanes, wider sidewalks Etc

33 Successful change of behavior on the micro level Enterprise in Schwarzach Austria 300 employees

34 View on the Medienhaus publishing/printing/tv,radio

35 Information point for PT and the project

36 Facilities for cyclists

37 Facilities for cycle maintenance and repair

38 Bus stop in front of the building

39 Effects : Changes in mode share for work trips Choice of means of transport for commuting before/after means of transport % % Cycle 8 8,5 Motorised individual transport - driver Motorised individual transport - passenger Public transport 13 19,5 total

40 Changes in mode share - enterprise %-share 1997 ("before") %-share 1999 ("after") Cyclist motorised individual transport driver motorised individual transport passenger public transport

41 Change of mode share - employees households %-share 1997 ("before") %-share 1999 ("after") on foot cyclist motorised individual transport driver motorised individual transport passenger public transport

42 And many more successful examples totally in contradiction to traditional transport planning principles

43 Thank you very much for your attention!
