Das Horizont-2020-Projekt ReVeAL (2019-2022) - Regulating Vehicle Access for Improved Liveability - wurde initiiert, um UVARs (Urban Vehicle Access Regulations) in die Standardpalette der städtischen Mobilitätskonzepte in europäischen Städten aufzunehmen. ReVeAL kombinierte Fallstudienforschung mit praktischer UVAR-Umsetzung in sechs Pilotstädten und erstellte ein Toolkit und Empfehlungen zur Unterstützung anderer Städte. 

Bielefeld war eine ReVeAL-Pilotstadt und daher eine ausgezeichnete Informationsquelle nicht nur für die individuellen Erfahrungen und Lehren aus der Umsetzung, sondern auch für den deutschsprachigen Kontext. Olaf Lewald und Dominik Brand vom Bielefelder Verkehrsamt diskutieren mit Bonnie Fenton von Rupprecht Consult darüber, wie Bielefeld im Rahmen von ReVeAL eine Reihe von UVAR-Maßnahmen kombiniert hat, um die Machbarkeit und Akzeptanz einer autoreduzierten Innenstadt zu testen, und welche Erkenntnisse dabei gewonnen werden konnten.

Die ReVeAL-Empfehlungen und Städteberichte sind auf der Website in deutscher Sprache verfügbar oder können direkt hier heruntergeladen werden. 

ReVeAL Toolkit verfügbar   Das Tool bietet Unterstützung von Behörden und lokalen Entscheidungsträger*innen, die Zufahrtsregulierungen wie z.B. Parkraumregulierungen, Niedrigemissionszonen, Superblocks u.a. erwägen. Diese Gruppe von Maßnahmentypen ist international bekannt als „UVAR“ (Urban Vehicle Access Regulation).    Das ReVeAL-Toolkit unterstützt Städte bei der Entwicklung von UVARs, die den komplexen stadtspezifischen Kontexten gerecht werden. Es wurde zusammen mit sechs Städten im Rahmen des EU-Projektes ReVeAL entwickelt und validiert. Deren Maßnahmen umfassten ganz unterschiedliche Regelungen und reichten von einer Schulstraße bis zur Umgestaltung eines Stadtzentrums in eine große Umweltzone. All diese Ergebnisse flossen in das ReVeAL Toolkit ein.   Es besteht aus:  1. Erläuterungen zum generellen ReVeAL-Ansatz, der grundsätzliche UVAR-Typen unterscheidet, die wiederum aus Einzel-Bausteinen bestehen. Durch diese modulare Herangehensweise lassen sich UVARs für jede Kommune maßschneidern. Für jeden Baustein gibt es ein eigenes Informationsblatt.  2. Der Online-Leitfaden erklärt einige Querschnittsthemen, die für alle oder mehrere UVARs relevant sind. Dieser Leitfaden ist der ideale Einstieg für alle, die noch wenig Erfahrung und Vorwissen zu UVARs haben und sich dem Thema ganz systematisch nähern wollen.  3. Ein Online-Tool ermöglicht die Eingabe einiger Hintergrundinformationen Ihrer Kommune anhand von 15 kurzen Fragen. Als Ergebnis liefert es darauf abgestimmte Vorschläge für UVAR Bausteine, die gut zum lokalen Kontext passen (gemessen an Erfahrungswerten aus ähnlichen Kommunen). Außerdem finden Sie hier einen Artikel, der ReVeAL zusammenfasst, und hier Informationen und Präsentationen von der Abschlusskonferenz, auf der das Toolkit vorgestellt wurde.  Probieren Sie das Toolkit selbst aus!     - 15 schnelle Fragen  
 - Priorisierung von Bausteinen (in der Abbildung „BB“ für building block)

Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning, or SUMP in short, helps to shape cities today for the mobility trends of tomorrow. What sounds great for large cities can easily be dismissed for small ones or towns. That's where the SUMP Guidelines for Small Cities come into play.

In this episode of Mobility Planet, we talk about these guidelines and what they can bring to the table for small city mobility planning. But what is a small city, and how can they benefit from SUMP? Are there advantages compared to larger cities, a town or small city could lever? And is this concept fitting every small city out there?

To answer these questions, we talked to our own Ralf Brand from Rupprecht Consult, and to Lasse Brand, a transport planner and SUMP expert for WSP in Sweden. If you want to find out more about this podcast and our work, feel free to check the link section below.

In this episode, we talked to four different experts from Sweden to the Netherlands, who explained to us the functioning and advantages of geofencing for cars and busses.

The European Union agreed that starting next year, all new cars, vans, lorries and buses should be fitted with a range of new vehicle safety technologies This includes Intelligent Spees Assistance (ISA) which either warns the driver when exceeding the speed limit or even takes control of the engine to only allow the respective maximum speed.

We talked to Josephine Darlington and Rodrigue Al Fahel from Lindholmen Science Park in Gothenburg who are working on a project called CLOSER that looks at different possible uses of Geofences. In Sweden, Geofencing is currently used to control the speed and switch the combustion mode in hybrid vehicles. 

We also talked to Matthieu Graindorge, from the Smart and Green Mobility department of the City of Helmond and Steven Herskamp from the company V-TRON. They are currently testing ways to use Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) to integrate it into their new smart disctrict. Helmond is also part of ReVeAL, a European Project that tests and promotes different measures to regulate vehicles in urban areas.  If you want to find out more about this podcast and our work, feel free to check the link section below.

Welcome to our new episode on sustainable mobility. This episode is on planning neighbourhoods.  Mobility planning should make it easier for us to move through cities, to pursue our daily activities and to reach our destinations safely, swiftly and affordably but it’s a large and complex task and city administrations aren’t always aware of the needs of individual neighbourhoods. So when residents need wider sidewalks, safe bicycle parking or closer bus stops, how do we make sure their voices are heard?  Bringing together the two very different scales – the city-wide level needed for integrated planning and the people-oriented on-the-ground neighbourhood level – is a tricky balance of communication, trust and expectation management.  The European SUNRISE project has been working on this issue for the past four years – on the ground and in close collaboration with residents of six different cities – accompanying their co-creation planning processes.  In this episode, our colleague Bonnie Fenton talks with Ralf Brand (also from Rupprecht Consult) and Michael Koucky from Koucky & Partners. Both are people-focussed mobility planners who spent a lot of time looking at neighbourhoods in the SUNRISE project. If you want to find out more about this podcast and our work, feel free to check the link section below.

You’re listening to the third in a series of four podcasts looking at various aspects of data coming with new mobility. The four episodes have been produced within the context of a European project called GECKO, which looks at effectively regulating new mobility without stifling the creative ideas behind it. All of our discussion partners are members of the project’s international stakeholder group.  

They’ve been sharing with us their hands-on experience with self-driving vehicles, hyperloop, e-scooters, ride hailing and the “Netflix of mobility” – but we’ll let our guests tell you more about that in this episode. At the end, it comes down to this: if we need collaboration between the private and the public sector to deliver new mobility services, how do we reconcile the city wanting to improve the urban atmosphere and the private sector wanting to sell its cool new technology? Can the two work together? 

For this discussion, we’ve brought together a group of three expert practitioners. Thomas Geier is a researcher and project manager with the association of European Metropolitan Transport Authorities, and also currently with the transport authority of Vienna, where he’s a project manager for new mobility services.

Michael Glotz-Richter is a senior project manager for the City of Bremen. He’s worked on topics ranging from walking and cycling to car sharing to the integration of automated vehicles.

Renata Lajas is an Urban Planner & Transport Engineer with experience in research as well as the public and private sectors. She currently works as a Senior Consultant at Arup.

You’re listening to the third in a series of four podcasts looking at various aspects of data coming with new mobility. The four episodes have been produced within the context of a European project called GECKO, which looks at effectively regulating new mobility without stifling the creative ideas behind it.

If you’re asking yourself what “new mobility” is, generally speaking, it’s all the new services that have been popping up like mushrooms in the past few years. That includes the ride hailing app you may have on your phone or the shared e-scooters you see racing past you on the street. There’s also Mobility as a Service, which is all about being able to mix and match different services – again using an app on your phone.

We talked about who has data and who shares it. And whether we lack data or if we just don’t know what to do with what we’ve got. And what’s the benefit of sharing data? Where is there unmet potential for data use? And are there any good examples out there? 

One of our conversation partners was Laura Eiro, a programme director from ITS Finland. She has also worked in Finland’s Ministry of Transport and on developing Finnish transport policy, as well as on the concept of Mobility as a Service. She has an interest in collaboration between research and the public and private sectors.

Then we have Bernd Ivanschitz from Wiener Linien, the public transport authority in Vienna. Bernd is a data scientist and Head of Unit for Mobility Statistics and Market Research.

And last but not least, we have Gregor Petri. Gregor is an economist by training and the co-founder of a company called Triply – also located in Vienna – which provides data analytics for the mobility sector.

| Summary |

Today's episode has a deliberate satirical flavour – but it deals with a rather serious topic: The incredibly illogical allocation of (almost) free public space to cars.

Public space, as the name suggests, should be usable by the public and not just by a few. In practice, however, society gives away around 12 square metres of public space for owners of cars in most residential areas – owning a car gets rewarded with free space on top.

In this episode, our colleagues Ralf and Bonnie of Rupprecht Consult interview three imaginary people who extrapolate this just an inch to the next logical, and rather creative conclusion.
