On June 15, the poster walk in the TVFA Hall marked the conclusion of the “RadTUour” course. During the event, students presented the results of their assessments, discussed their findings, and developed initial ideas for improving cycling routes to TU Wien.

The course was attended by around 120 students from almost all degree programs at TU Wien. Their objective was to systematically assess the quality of cycling connections to the university. The course began with a kick-off session in April at the start of the 2026 summer semester, where students received an introduction to the fundamentals of bicycle transport planning.

In the first phase, all groups evaluated the same reference route. This common starting point enabled a comparison of results and facilitated discussion of different observations in a plenary session. In the second phase of the course, each group was assigned a cycling route of approximately two kilometers. The selected routes were derived from data collected through the smartphone-based mobility survey conducted with the TUW MyTrips app and represent typical journeys to TU Wien (see figure). During the final poster walk, students presented their analyses and evaluations. The discussions not only highlighted existing challenges but also generated numerous ideas for improving the cycling network. The results will now be compiled and analyzed by the cycleFIT team. They provide an initial evidence-based overview of weaknesses and opportunities within the cycling network used by people traveling to TU Wien.

The teaching team, consisting of Florian Pühringer and Ulrich Leth, would like to thank all participants for their commitment, valuable ideas, and collaboration throughout the course.
