Attention was also given to the understanding of current trends affecting the mobility sector and its implications for sustainable commuting with a special focus of new mobility concepts like car-/ridesharing or mobility as a service. Finally, guidelines for an effective transformation of the current car-based commuter paradigm to more sustainable ways of travelling were derived. The study comprised an extensive literature research about trends in the commuter environment, an online-based commuter and stakeholder survey as well as interviews and workshops with experts and aimed at deriving findings with a high potential for practical and effective implementation. The commuter and stakeholder questionnaires were conducted in Austria, Finland and Switzerland enabling to capture relevant European trends and commuter characteristics. The following report encompasses mainly the findings of the Institute for Sustainable Development of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) with focus on Switzerland and refers to the deliverables of the Smart Commuting project partners. The study revealed that the commuter society can be grouped into four different groups with specific characteristics. This classification allows to specifically design measures with higher adoption potential, thus accelerating the transition to a sustainable commuter environment. Overall, public transport is still seen as less comfortable and enjoyable than the private car for the majority of commuters. Moreover, the proportion of survey respondents open to the use of new and more sustainable mobility systems such as car- or ridesharing is low (less than 20% in average). Furthermore, a gap between the expectations of commuters and stakeholders with respect to the openness towards these new systems exists as the stakeholders stated to actively promote new and sustainable mobility. The study therefore provides starting points on how to close this gap and foster sustainability in commuting. Finally, the findings from two expert workshops highlight the need for company specific mobility management, since there was overall agreement that this measure leads to a high benefit for both, the employee and employer. Zusammenfassung Ziel dieses zweijährigen internationalen Projekts war es, die Bedürfnisse und Eigenschaften von Arbeitspendler sowie die Meinungen verschiedener verkehrsbezogener Akteure zum Thema intelligentes und nachhaltiges Pendeln zu verstehen. Weitere Aufmerksamkeit wird dem Verständnis aktueller Trends im Mobilitätssektor und deren Auswirkungen auf das nachhaltige Pendeln gewidmet, wobei ein besonderer Schwerpunkt auf neuen Mobilitätskonzepten wie Car-/Ridesharing oder Mobility as a Service liegt. Schließlich werden Leitlinien für eine effektive Transformation des derzeitigen autobasierten Pendlerparadigmas zu nachhaltigeren Reisemöglichkeiten abgeleitet. Durch eine umfangreiche Literaturrecherche zu Trends im Pendlerumfeld, eine onlinebasierte Pendler- und Stakeholderbefragung sowie Interviews und Workshops mit Experten wurde eine hohe Praktikabilität der Ergebnisse angestrebt. Die Pendler- und Stakeholderbefragungen wurden in drei Fallstudien in Österreich, Finnland und der Schweiz durchgeführt, um relevante europäische Trends und Pendlermerkmale zu erfassen. Der folgende Bericht umfasst die Ergebnisse des Instituts für Nachhaltige Entwicklung der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW) und bezieht sich auf die Berichte der Smart Commuting Projektpartner. Die Studie ergab, dass sich die Pendlergesellschaft in vier verschiedene Gruppen mit spezifischen Merkmalen einteilen lässt, die es ermöglichen, Maßnahmen mit einem höheren Wirkungspotenzial zu gestalten und so den Übergang zu einer nachhaltigen Pendlerumgebung zu beschleunigen. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel gelten nach wie vor als weniger komfortabel und angenehm als das private Auto. Des Weiteren ist der Anteil der Befragten, die neue und nachhaltigere Mobilitätssysteme wie Car- oder Ridesharing nutzen würden gering (im Durchschnitt weniger als 20%). Darüber hinaus besteht eine Lücke zwischen den Arbeitsreisenden und den Stakeholdern hinsichtlich ihrer Offenheit gegenüber diesen neuen Systemen da die Stakeholder sehr positiv zu neuen und nachhaltigeren Mobilitätssystem stehen. Die Studie liefert daher Ansatzpunkte, wie diese Lücke geschlossen und die Nachhaltigkeit im Pendeln angeregt werden kann. Schließlich wird aus den Ergebnissen zweier Expertenworkshops die Notwendigkeit eines unternehmensspezifischen Mobilitätsmanagements hervorgehoben, das sowohl für den Arbeitnehmer als auch für den Arbeitgeber einen hohen Nutzen bringt. Résumé L'objectif de ce projet international de deux ans était de comprendre les besoins et les caractéristiques des voyageurs d'affaires ainsi que les opinions des différents acteurs du transport en ce qui concerne les déplacements intelligents et durables. Une attention particulière est accordée à la compréhension des tendances actuelles affectant le secteur de la mobilité et de ses implications pour la mobilité durable, avec un accent particulier sur les nouveaux concepts de mobilité tels que le covoiturage ou la mobilité en tant que service. Enfin, des lignes directrices pour une transformation efficace du paradigme actuel de la voiture de banlieue vers des modes de déplacement plus durables sont dérivées. En menant une recherche documentaire approfondie sur les tendances de l'environnement des navetteurs, un sondage en ligne auprès des navetteurs et des intervenants, ainsi que des entrevues et des ateliers avec des experts, l'étude visait à assurer la pertinence et la praticabilité des résultats. Les questionnaires sur les navetteurs et les parties prenantes ont été réalisés dans les trois études de cas en Autriche, en Finlande et en Suisse, ce qui a permis de saisir les tendances européennes pertinentes et les caractéristiques des navetteurs. Le rapport qui suit englobe les conclusions de l'Institut du développement durable et fait référence aux produits livrables des partenaires du projet Smart Commuting. L'étude a révélé que la société de banlieue peut être regroupée en quatre groupes différents avec des caractéristiques spécifiques, ce qui permet de concevoir spécifiquement des mesures ayant un potentiel d'adoption plus élevé, accélérant ainsi la transition vers un environnement de banlieue durable. Les transports publics sont encore considérés comme moins confortables et moins agréables que la voiture particulière et la proportion des personnes interrogées qui sont ouvertes à l'utilisation de nouveaux systèmes de mobilité tels que le covoiturage est faible (moins de 20 % en moyenne). En outre, il existe un fossé entre les voyageurs et les parties prenantes quant à leur ouverture d’esprit à ces nouveaux systèmes, car les parties prenantes sont très favorables à de nouveaux systèmes de mobilité plus durables. L'étude fournit donc des points de départ sur la façon de combler cet écart et d'invoquer la durabilité dans les déplacements domicile-travail. Enfin, deux ateliers d'experts soulignent la nécessité d'une gestion de la mobilité spécifique à l'entreprise, dont il est convenu qu'elle présente un grand avantage tant pour l'employé que pour l'employeur. 4/248 ERA-NET Cofund Smart Cities and Communities Smart Commuting project Contents Summary ................................................................................................................................................ 3 Zusammenfassung ................................................................................................................................ 3 Résumé ................................................................................................................................................... 4 Contents ................................................................................................................................................. 5 List of abbreviations ............................................................................................................................. 9 1 Introduction ............................................................................................................................

  • Pourquoi Smoove a Remporté Les Vélos En Libre-Service D'helsinki
    En 2014 Smoove avait remporté le marché de Moscou D.R. Pourquoi Smoove a remporté les vélos en libre-service d'Helsinki La PME hexagonale poursuit son développement à l’international. Après Moscou en 2014, elle vient de remporter l’appel d’offres pour équiper la capitale de la Finlande de 1500 vélos en libre- service. Et elle prévoit de se positionner face à JCDecaux pour le renouvellement des marchés du Vélib’et du Vélov’. Après un an de discussions, c’est la PME montpelliéraine Smoove qui a décroché le contrat pour le déploiement du système de vélos en libre-service d’Helsinki. Un contrat remporté avec deux partenaires : le groupe catalan de transport et d’automobile Moventia, ainsi que l’américain Clear Channel, spécialiste de la publicité urbaine. "Nous avons principalement décroché ce contrat car nous étions les mieux positionnés en termes de prix", confie Laurent Mercat, président de Smoove. "Notre système est basé sur des stations d’accueil très légères ce qui réduit le coût d’infrastructure". Smoove a en effet développé un "système inversé" par rapport aux solutions telles que Vélib’où toutes les communications s’effectuent au niveau des stations. Dans le cas de Smoove, c’est le vélo qui intègre un boîtier de communication électronique, baptisé "Smoove Box", qui communique avec le serveur central du service par radios. Pour déverrouiller le vélo, il suffit ainsi de passer une carte sans contacts à proximité de ce boîtier. Une formule qui a séduit Helsinki qui prévoit le déploiement de 50 stations et 500 vélos en 2016. Dès le printemps 2017, le système sera étendu à 1500 vélos et 150 stations.

  • Public Bicycle Schemes
    Division 44 Water, Energy and Transport Recommended Reading and Links on Public Bicycle Schemes September 2010 Reading List on Public Bicycle Schemes Preface Various cities around the world are trying methods to encourage bicycling as a sustainable transport mode. Among those methods in encouraging cycling implementing public bicycle schemes is one. The public bicycle schemes are also known as bicycle sharing systems, community bicycling schemes etc., The main idea of a public bicycle system is that the user need not own a bicycle but still gain the advantages of bicycling by renting a bicycle provided by the scheme for a nominal fee or for free of charge (as in some cities). Most of these schemes enable people to realize one way trips, because the users needn’t to return the bicycles to the origin, which will avoid unnecessary travel. Public bicycle schemes provide not only convenience for trips in the communities, they can also be a good addition to the public transport system. Encouraging public bike systems have shown that there can be numerous short that could be made by a bicycle instead of using motorised modes. Public bike schemes also encourage creative designs in bikes and also in the operational mechanisms. The current document is one of the several efforts of GTZ-Sustainable Urban Transport Project to bring to the policymakers an easy to access list of available material on Public Bike Schemes (PBS) which can be used in their everyday work. The document aims to list out some influential and informative resources that highlight the importance of PBS in cities and how the existing situation could be improved.

  • Uanotat 134 2019 Sykkeldelingsordninger
    Ingunn Opheim Ellis Notat Maria Amundsen 134/2019 Sykkeldelingsordninger Sykkeldelingsordninger Forord På oppdrag fra Kolumbus har Urbanet Analyse gjort en kartlegging av ulike sykkeldelingsordninger verden over. Oppdraget gikk utgangspunktet ut på å gjennomføre en analyse av suksesskriterier for en sykkeldelingsordning, basert på en kvantitativ analyse av ulike egenskaper ved et større antall ulike sykkeldelingsordninger. Den innledende kartleggingen av ulike sykkeldelingsordninger avdekket at det er lite tilgjengelig informasjon om svært mange av sykkeldelingsordningene som finnes, da dette i stor grad anses som forretningssensitiv informasjon. Den kvantitative analysen har derfor ikke kunnet gjennomføres. I dette notatet oppsummeres den kunnskapen om ulike sykkeldelingsordninger vi har fått gjennom arbeidet med prosjektet. Kontaktperson hos oppdragsgiver har vært Rolf Michael Odland. Fra Urbanet Analyse har Ingunn Opheim Ellis vært prosjektleder, med Maria Amundsen og Karoline Nielsen (Asplan Viak) som prosjektmedarbeidere. Katrine N. Kjørstad har kvalitetssikret oppdraget.

  • Vélib': Gradual Dismantling and Responsible Recycling
    Vélib’: gradual dismantling and responsible recycling Paris, 24 October 2017 – With a view to transition Vélib’ and transfer operations to the new operator on 1 January 2018, JCDecaux, the number one outdoor advertising company worldwide and leader in self-service bike rental schemes, will gradually remove all of its equipment during the transition period, which runs from 1 October 2017 to 31 March 2018. JCDecaux will give a second life by recycling all of its equipment: docking stations, docking points and bikes. In line with its sustainable development strategy and in accordance with the principles of circular economy, JCDecaux will give a second life to all of its docking stations and bikes. At the time of the call for tender for the renewal of the Vélib’ contract, the bid by the JCDecaux/RATP/SNCF partnership included a proposal to reuse and modernise all existing infrastructure without carrying out any engineering works. Following the decision by the Syndicat Autolib’ Vélib’ Métropole (SMAVM) to select another operator, all of the docking stations are in the process of being dismantled. Material recovered will be 100% reused or recycled through specialised streams. • Bikes will be dismantled, checked and reconditioned, spare parts will be reused for maintenance on other self-service bike markets around the world. Some of the bikes will be dismantled by disabled workers at the ESAT (company providing assistance through employment) Les 3 Sources in the Oise, which has been working with the Group since 2009. • Some of the furniture, docking stations and docking points will be renovated, reconditioned and offered to other towns in future calls for tender, whenever specifications authorise the use of refurbished equipment.

  • Vélib' Is a Self-Service Bicycle Hire System
    Abstracts for the Presentation Cyclocity® – the worldwide most famous Self-Service-Bike-System Always at the leading edge of innovation and sustainable development, in 1999 JCDecaux invented a self service bike system known as Cyclocity®. The Cyclocity® system has been patented in May 2001. The first generation was launched in May 2003 in Vienna (Austria): a fully electronical bike rental system with free of charge using. Gijon and Cordoba (Spain) were following. In 2004 a new generation bike was developed. On 19th May 2005, 1,000 bikes were put into use in Lyon and Villeurbanne, and immediately met with real public success. As a real form of individual public transport, Cyclocity® can be adapted to the individual needs of each city irrespective of their dimension. Due to that fact a large number of cities decided to implement Cyclocity®, e.g. Brussels and Aix-en-Provence. The cities of Paris, Salzburg, Toulouse, Rouen, Luxembourg, Amiens, Nantes, Mulhouse, Besançon, Marseilles and Seville have also chosen this new alternative form of transport which encourages travellers to combine different types of transport, makes traffic easier and combats pollution. Cyclocity has been awarded four prices since 2005 : - Trophée du vélo 2005 - Trophée 2005 L’Usine Nouvelle - Janus 2006 de l’Industrie - Prix Entreprises et Environnement 2006. The most successful implementation of Cyclocity®, named Velib´, was in Paris in summer 2007. Vélib' was specially designed for Paris and is the largest ever established self service bike system in the world. 1451 Cycle racks have been set up all over the city to allow subscribers to the system to take one of the 20.600 bicycles from a rack close to their point of departure and to leave it at the rack closest to their destination.
