Description of the research topic:
Modal choice in urban transport is constantly changing due to changes in demand and supply. In the last two years, demand has been severely affected by the pandemic, but it must also be borne in mind that the relocation needs of the next generation are different (both in frequency and form). On the supply side, new micro-mobility devices (especially electrically assisted or powered devices) have emerged that are in significant demand. Still, their integration into the transport system remains to be addressed.
The development of transport systems has a longer-term effect. The research aims to develop general methods that can provide scientifically sound guidelines for designing transport systems. The methods include different options for organizing and planning the infrastructure.
Tasks:
• Survey of travel pattern / mobility behaviour with modern (e.g. mobile application) tools, evaluation of the collected data with statistical methods.
• Examination of the demographic and social characteristics of the users of micro-mobility devices, the characteristics of the trips (origin-destination, motivation, average travel distance, average travel time).
• Routing considerations for using micro-mobility devices; on what basis are these aspects implemented if the aspects are different from traditional modes of transport?
• The effect of micro-mobility devices on other modes of transport, the expected development of the macroscopic characteristics of the traffic using modern simulation tools (PTV VISUM).
• Possibilities of connecting micro-mobility to traditional transport networks by using modern microscopic simulation (PTV VISSIM) tools.
• Defining the infrastructure requirements for micro-mobility devices, particularly the necessary additions and possible amendments to the Road Technical Specifications.
• Determining the location of mobility points using mathematical and GIS methods.
