Work Progress This section lists the progress and the achieved results against the initial objectives of the work programme. Over all the work is proceeding according to the plan, although some changes in terms of milestones and projects have been introduced. An updated detailed work programme is attached as appendix A. Programme Management Unit A Programme Management Unit has been established as described in the First Bi-annual Progress Report. 3 ELENA-2011-031 Aarhus LRT project – Interim Report and Third Bi-annual Progress Report LETBANEN.DK The Programme Management Unit is responsible for the preparation of tender materials and contracts with external consultants, set up a homepage, work on project planning, meeting activities etc. The Programme Management Unit consist of a Support Group and a Project Director. The unit is responsible for the day-to-day development of the Aarhus LRT Project. Currently the Support Group also relies on support from a lawyer and a communication assistant. If needed extra staff will be supplemented. Up until now, this has not been needed. In order to secure ownership and coordination to the Aarhus LRT project meetings have been held in almost all levels of the organization. In addition, the Programme Management Unit has provided technical assistance for the project groups and has been participating in the meetings of the AALRT project in general. In order to manage the programme successfully, have control of resources, and the ability to manage project risk effectively the Programme Management Unit has spent time to define project management tools. Where possible the PM-tools that are already in use by AALRT have been adopted and scaled to the Aarhus LRT Project. This includes monthly Project Progress Reports, Project Initiation Documents, Risk log, document control plans and interface management. The main achievements made by the Project Management Unit in the reporting period are: Five tender materials have been prepared for procurement Eleven external consultants have been contracted to the programme A category regarding energy planning has been added to the AALRT Qualification System. A call for external consultants to apply for prequalification to the AALRT Qualification System has been published. The AALRT Qualification System will be open for calls to be prequalified 4 times a year. A list of prequalified consultancies can be found at the AALRT homepage (http://www.letbanen.dk/om-letbanen/udbud/ raadgivningsydelser/). General programme management and development of management tools, revised budgets etc. Participation in meeting activities throughout the ALIS project organisation (weekly project management meetings, meetings in the project groups, steering group meetings and other ad hoc meeting activities). Templates for reports, contracts etc. has been produced A homepage about the programme has set up and the new project name RE:AL has been incorporated (www.letbanen.dk/om-letbanen/elena/) WP1: Preparation for the technical integration of the existing rail lines to a light rail network with rail freight capacity The transformation from a traditional local freight and passenger rail line into a light rail network with rail freight capacity poses a number of legal, safety and technical design challenges.

The progress for the ELENA funded work in WP1 is: The project studies to immunize signalling of Mainline railway in Aarhus H is progressing very well with Rail Net Denmark (Mainline railway infrastructure owner). Immunisation is required to protect mainline signalling from the planned electrification (750VDC) on the new light rail. In summer 2014 we finished a preliminary study on possible solution for immunisation of Aarhus Central Station area from disturbance from Light Rail 750 V DC. The study was successful in finding solutions that significantly has reduced the expected construction cost. Two different possible solutions were identified for further analysis: 1. 77 Hz Relays – traditional approach (replacing existing DC Track Circuit relays at Aarhus C) 2. FETR – New approach (Adding another DC relay in the feed end of each Track Circuit at Aarhus C) Following a detail studies has been prepared. The result of the detailed studies from the analysis is that Rail Net Denmark’s department for safety/operations has approved the use of the FETR-construction at Aarhus H, under certain circumstances. This means that a hybrid combination

  • THE BICYCLE RING in AARHUS, DENMARK: a Case Study of Maintaining People Friendly Environments While Managing Cycling Growth
    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

We must retain our strong cycling culture and pass it on to our children so they can get the same pleasure of moving through traf- fic on a bicycle. Unfortunately, we cycle less today than we did previously. It is quite normal for Danes to get behind the wheel of the car, even for short trips. It is com- fortable and convenient in our busy daily lives. If we are to succeed in en- couraging more people to use their bicycles, therefore, we must make it more attractive and thus easier to cycle to work, school and on leisure trips. We can achieve this by, for example, creating better cycle paths, fewer stops, secure bicycle parking spaces and new cycling facilities. In the government, we are working for a green transition and we want to promote cycling, because cycling is an inexpensive, healthy and clean form of transport. The state has never before done as much in this regard as we are doing at present.
