Followers in Europe and Beyond DELIVERABLE 5.9 FOLLOWERS IN EUROPE AND BEYOND WP 5: Dissemination and Communication Published: February 2017 Project duration: 1/3/2014 – 28/02/2017 Authors: Renske Martijnse (DTV) Project coordinator: DTV Consultants (The Netherlands) www.velo-citta.eu The sole responsibility for the content of this document lies with the authors. It does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Union. Neither the EASME nor the European Commission are responsible for any use that may be made of the information contained therein. Introduction VeloCittà defines “followers” as cities or bike share operators that have indicated in writing (either by signing the Political Statement or by providing a case study on their existing bike share scheme) that they are interested in the project outcomes and willing to use or share them and / or that they are interested in in exchanging bike share knowledge and / or that they are interested in participating in a (permanent) European or even worldwide bike share platform. The goal was to have at least 15 European Follower cities and 5 non-European follower cities (task 5.6 in Annex I of the contract). While the non-EU followers are lagging behind a bit with 2 followers (most likely due to the fact that there already exists a North American Bike Share Association, NABSA), VeloCittà has outdone itself by attracting 30 European followers, bringing the total to 32. The result: 15 cities / regions have signed the Political Statement “Statement of Support for bike-sharing schemes in our communities” – see list below. For the full Political Statement and the original signatures, see Deliverable D3.9 15 European case studies of existing bike share schemes in the workspace 2 non-European case studies of existing bike share schemes in the workspace The sole responsibility for the content of this document lies with the authors.

Antwerp (BE) – case study Content: - City profile and policies - Description of Bicycle Share Scheme - Operational aspects - User Profile - Communication / Marketing plan - Contact details 1. City profile and policies Antwerp is a city located in north western Belgium and with 520.000 inhabitants the city ranks second as largest metropolitan area. The city is located on the banks of the river Scheldt enabling the harbour to be the second largest harbour of Europe. Next to harbour activity Antwerp is also widely known for the diamond trade. 61% of Antwerp’s population is between 18 and 64 years old. 20% is below 17 year old and just 18% is over 65 years old. Of all people living in Antwerp 15% is from foreign descent. Antwerp is working towards a city-wide bike sharing system. Increased access to shared bicycles will make the choice for the bicycle even easier. The current Velo system within the Ring Road and on the left bank can compete with bike sharing systems in other and also larger world cities. By expanding the bike sharing system mobility options will grow exponentially in the districts as well. Shared bikes can provide better connections between the districts and to the inner city as an extra, quick and accessible means of transport before or after bus, tram or car journeys. Electric bicycles, cargo bikes and other evolutions can further enrich the concept and integrate bike sharing in city life. The city is open to these evolutions and wants to support ne initiatives with added value. The city is researching strategies and forms of cooperation with the private sector and with operators of other bike sharing systems such as Blue-bike and Fietshaven. Ultimately the city wants to arrive at a wide and diverse array of complementary initiatives for the whole city. The current Velo bike sharing system allows for mostly short journeys within the area covered by Velo stations. Other systems allow for further and more journeys inside and outside of the city in the course of a day (Blue-bike) or even a year (Fietshaven). (Bicycle Policy Plan 2015-2019: https://assets.antwerpen.be/srv/assets/api/download/6d5dcd9b-025f-4345-bbcb- 08094deadf57/fietsbeleidsplan_GB_web.pdf) Modal share Car 41% Bike 23% Walk 20% PT 16% http://www.epomm.eu/tems/result_city.phtml?city=159&list=1, 2010 2. Description of Bicycle Share Scheme - name bike share scheme and link to its website: Velo Antwerpen https://www.velo- antwerpen.be/en - in operation since June 9th, 2011 - operator Clear Channel - Partners: De Lijn - hardware supplier: Clear Channel International. They designed the system and source all parts from different suppliers, upon which they assemble the system themselves. This has the benefit that the bikes have “unique” parts, due to which they are not so attractive for bike theft. - contract duration: 10 years (2011-2021) - financing of the contract: - Subsidy of City of Antwerp - Partners (like public transport operator) - Users (via subscription fees) 3. Operational aspects Technology The bike used by Velo Antwerpen is a sturdy bike ideal for short distances in the city. The bike has 3 gears, and a drive mechanism that replaces a regular chain to increase strength and easy maintenance and possible grease stains on clothing of the user. The saddle of the bike can be adjusted easily by releasing the clamp sliding the saddle higher or lower to the preferred height. The front wheel contains a hub dynamo giving power to both front and rear lights every time the bike is used without creating extra resistance when pedaling. The bike has an integrated luggage rack in the steering wheel. Elastic straps will secure the user’s bag or groceries aiding in a safer journey. The tires of the bike are inflated using nitrogen so they retain their pressure longer. Users won’t have to worry about getting a flat tire nor do they have to worry about getting a dirty clothes from a wet road surface as mudguards at the front and back prevent dirt and water from splashing. Also do they act as a barrier from getting your clothes trapped in the wheels. registration Velo Antwerpen uses two subscription systems; a day or week pass and a year card. Retrieving these subscriptions can be done on their website, at the Velo-desk in Antwerp and by phone. The passes can only be bought by credit card and the year card offers a direct debit option alongside credit card. When registered correctly the user will receive a user code and password. With the user code the user can retrieve a bike from any given station in Antwerp.

  • Supply Chain Effects in Creation of Omnichannel Customer Experience in Grocery Retail
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Aaltodoc Publication Archive Supply Chain Effects in Creation of Omnichannel Customer Experience in Grocery Retail MSc program in Information and Service Management Master's thesis Anna Savisaari 2016 Department of Information and Service Economy Aalto University School of Business Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Author Anna Savisaari Title of thesis Supply Chain Effects in Creation of Omnichannel Customer Experience in Grocery Retail Degree Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration Degree programme Information and Service Management Thesis advisor(s) Markku Tinnilä Year of approval 2016 Number of pages 78 Language English Abstract Online sales have changed the retail industry during the past decade, and the technological developments shape the business blending the digital and physical worlds together. Customers use different channels interchangeably during their buying process. The objective of the study is to identify and analyze the factors affecting this omnichannel customer experience in grocery retail, focusing in the supply chain effects. The empirical part searches for answers from the Finnish grocery industry. The literature review develops an understanding on three domains in this research: omnichannel, grocery industry’s distinct features, and supply chain characteristics in omnichannel grocery retail. The academia introduced omnichannel as a term about five years ago. Omnichannel retail means the different sales channels work seamlessly for the customer, and inside the company as well. Omnichannel and supply chain aspects in grocery retail are scarcely researched, since the earlier literature has had a stronger focus on customer motivations. Grocery retail is distinctive field in omnichannel retail due to perishability, low-margin and low-involvement products, frequency and volume of shopping and significance of the downstream supply chain operations.
