Autonomous Transport: Developments in Urban Europe

AVENUE 21 explores the question of how cities and urban societies could develop through autonomous driving - and vice versa. This approach offers the decisive advantage of finding concrete local framework conditions as a basis. Research can start from relatively stable social parameters and look at settlement structures that will continue to represent the given structural framework for a long time to come. In addition, international pioneer regions in which autonomous driving is already intensively promoted will be considered over the entire duration of the project.

Duration 12/2018 - 11/2022

Rail-oriented settlement development and accessibility optimisation

The project focuses on strategies for rail-oriented settlement development and accessibility optimisation at traffic stations at local and regional level. Case studies will be used to demonstrate how planning processes involving relevant actors, combinable strategies (settlement development, adaptation of the station network, adaptation of the degree of expansion and improvement of traffic links), planning instruments and methods can be used to improve the potential of the railways through active spatial planning and, conversely, how spatial development can be positively influenced by the railways as a driving force. Within the framework of the research project BahnRaum, a practice-oriented, clear and compact practical handbook for an integrated further development of settlement and railway as the backbone of sustainable development is being developed.

DrückMichi: The flexible solution for parking space management to promote equality of road users

The DrückMichi research project aims to strengthen the role of bicycles as a sustainable means of transport by improving the general conditions for bicycle parking in road space. To this end, DrückMichi uses innovative approaches to develop a new swivelling bike-bar system whose features aim to offer non-motorized road users an equal opportunity to park their vehicles in parking spaces - without permanently excluding passenger cars. This infrastructure addition is intended to investigate whether a coexistence of these modes of transport can be promoted or is desired.

Smart e-cargo bike sharing with the KlimaEntLaster rental box

E-transport bikes are sustainable, climate-friendly means of transport that can be used in a versatile way. While they are already part of the streetscape in big cities, they have not yet established themselves much in small towns. Based on the findings of the project "KlimaEntLaster", "eTransport 24/7" aims to enable person-free rental around the clock using the Smart KlimaEntLaster Rental Box and the associated online platform

The compact Smart Rental Box is equipped with a socket for charging the bike battery and safely stores the battery, the charger and the key for the bike lock. Registered users open the box using their smartphones.

KlimaEntLaster has shown that low-threshold person-free rental without time restrictions has a high potential to increase the number of reservations for transport bikes. Within the framework of the project, the rental box and the online platform will be implemented in five municipalities, will be technically refined and thus made marketable for use throughout Austria.

Duration 02/2022 - 01/2023

Gender-sensitive e-car sharing

For a sustainable mobility of the future, there will have to be changes in the way cars are used. This concerns both, the type of engine and the question of how cars will be used in the future.  E-car sharing is seen as an important component of this. However, (e-)car sharing services are currently utilised by a limited, male-dominated group of users and the car sharing systems are adapted to their needs.

The research project "GECAR - gender-sensitive e-car sharing" addresses this issue. We are investigating gender-specific use and (non-)use behaviour, as well as user experiences and barriers that hinder the use of various e-car sharing services in Austria. The objective is to develop gender-sensitive service models for different e-car sharing services in cooperation with (non-)users and operators.

GECAR is a research project carried out jointly by the Institute of Spatial Planning (Research Unit Transportation System Planning) of the TU Wien and the car sharing provider MO.Point, the association-based car sharing provider Maronihof in Vorarlberg and the sociologist Sonja Gruber.

Innovative measures for smoothing peak demand and efficient capacity use

Traffic demand peaks are associated with high costs in the road and public transport sector, because infrastructure and vehicle resources are designed for them. From the perspective of the transport systems users, it also leads to a loss of comfort or longer travel times that are difficult to calculate. Measures to influence the demand for transport in terms of time represent an alternative to adapting the supply of mobility services to demand.

In the future, new mobility service providers (e.g. sharing) will also be affected by capacity bottlenecks. On the other hand, Mobility as a Service and the associated digital networking between mobility services and transport demand offer new possibilities for influencing temporal or modal behavioural decisions in order to avoid congestion.

The aim of the IMaG:NE project is to collect and evaluate existing and future measures for smoothing traffic demand peaks in order to derive recommendations for policy-makers, mobility service providers and infrastructure operators.
So far, there is no comprehensive cross-sectoral and intermodal evaluation of measures to smooth peak demand. 
The inclusion of measures in the context of Mobility as a Service and the consideration of future requirements determined by means of scenario techniques underline the innovativeness of the project.

Peer-to-Peer cargo bike and parking space sharing

LARA Share aims to integrate cargo bikes more strongly into commercial and private freight transport. Within the framework of the project, the possibilities of load wheel and parking space sharing in the Vienna conurbation will be investigated in order to reduce two central inhibiting factors: the low availability of load wheels and the lack of parking possibilities in densely built-up areas. The core of the project is the analysis of the technical, organisational and legal requirements and the user needs, as well as the conception and test implementation of an online platform, which functions as an intermediary hub for providers and users of freight bikes and parking facilities.

Grätzl Loading Zone

The Grätzl Loading Zone pursues the idea of combining the advantages of a loading zone for entrepreneurs, customers and residents.

The intensity of the use of public space for urban goods transport has increased in recent years, among other things due to the growing online trade. Designated loading zones should help to solve traffic problems and ensure efficient supply. In order to optimise the organisation of loading zones, evidence-based decision-making is necessary. The needs of delivery companies and local customers have to be brought in line with the strategic goals of the municipality and the actual demand. The needs of residents must also be taken into account.

A well-organised loading zone infrastructure can have positive effects on the urban population - for example through the reorganisation of public space and improved air quality through traffic reduction - as well as bring efficiency gains for businesses and logistics companies.

As part of the project, there are two Grätzl Loading Zones constructed in Vienna's sixth district:

• Location Loquaiplatz / Königseggasse (map)
• Location Windmühlgasse 28 (map)

Cooperative mobility stations in local neighbourhoods (Grätzl)

The cooperative research project Mo.Hub aims at developing mobility stations in co-creation with citizens, mobility service providers as well as politics and administration in order to contribute to sustainable urban mobility and participatory design of climate-friendly public spaces.

The starting point lies in freeing public space by reducing the degree of motorisation as a result of the concentration of different (new) mobility services at mobility hubs. The aim is to promote intermodal, seamless, sustainable mobility, accessibility of the Grätzl and diverse use of public space.

In the Mo.Hub project, approximately three experimental spaces for mobility hubs are set up in Vienna according to local requirements to enable the flexible testing and combination of different mobility offers as well as their embedding in public spaces. The co-creative approach ensures the involvement of residents and potential users to implement demand-oriented offers and to promote their acceptance and awareness of sustainable mobility through participation.

New mobilities in post-traditional communities: Peer-to-Peer Carsharing in rural and urban neighbourhoods

Carsharing in neighbourhoods can be a promising solution not only for urban areas but also for less populated areas that are heavily dependent on individual transport. Our study aims to explore the conditions and factors that facilitate peer-to-peer (P2P) carsharing in different neighbourhoods and to identify the differences between those who use P2P carsharing and those who do not. For this purpose, three case studies are conducted. The selected neighbourhoods differ with regard to the usage activity of P2P carsharing services. Cultural differences, variations in awareness and acceptance of collaborative consumption services, diverse attitudes towards cars and geographical characteristics will also be analysed through focus groups. In addition, expert interviews with different stakeholders will provide a deeper understanding of the relationships between the factors supporting or weakening P2P carsharing.

Development of a reactive booking and tariff system for free-floating Mobility Sharing Services

Sharing models are one of the central mobility trends of the 21st century. Particularly innovative mobility sharing concepts can noticeably reduce inner-city traffic and the associated climate and environmental pollution. Free-floating systems (vehicles without fixed stations) offer good starting points, especially in connection with electric mobility. The aim of the project is therefore to improve the utilisation of free-floating mobility sharing services and to optimise the usability of the booking systems - tested with the help of the start-up goUrban. For this purpose, a concept for an innovative reactive booking and tariff system will be developed in a multi-stage, user-centred process based on tests in laboratory setting and real experiments. In connection with this, target group-specific incentives based on the "Nudge Approach" will also be developed.

Usability of public transport operating areas for sustainable city logistic

The overarching project objectives in the RemiHub project include (1) the development of new inner-city logistics areas, (2) the shortening of the last mile in the logistics chain and (3) the use of the resulting improved framework conditions for the realistic operation of a multimodal logistics chain. In order to achieve this, a temporary co-use of suitable or unused public transport areas in the context of sustainable city logistics will be investigated. This change in the last mile is associated with the expectation that the use of non-motorised transport modes and autonomous and/or electrified vehicles in inner-city last mile logistics will be realised in a sustainable manner and even that a redistribution with (rail-bound) means of public transport will be possible.

System-integrating solutions for innovation barriers of new mobility services

Barriers to innovation for New Mobility Services (NMS) are considered from different disciplines and points of view. The focus is usually on individual types of NMS. To date, a holistic view of NMS for the Austrian legal framework and organisational structures is still missing. However, superordinate questions are relevant, such as the availability of cross-NMS infrastructure requirements (e.g. mobility hubs), the networking possibilities of NMS with each other (e.g. through Mobility as a Service - MaaS), but also the linking with existing structures (especially public transport, but also living and working).

How do these system integrations affect the innovation development and market diffusion of NMS?
This requires a holistic approach and a transdisciplinary, systematised and structured review of the barriers to innovation that have been recorded so far, in order to build on and analyse the superordinate questions of system integration as a barrier to innovation.

The project's objective is, on the basis of this holistic view, the development of a compendium to be updated as a basis for the conception of a legal and organisational framework that a) creates space for the development of further NMS, b) promotes the broad establishment of existing NMS on the market and c) ensures their establishment as a sensible and climate-effective supplement to existing public transport services.

Smart mobility hubs as game changer in transport

The SmartHubs project examines mobility hubs, dedicated on-street locations where citizens can choose from different shared and sustainable mobility options. The main objective is ​to assess if a co-designed, user-centric development can enable mobility hubs to act as a game changer towards sustainable urban mobility and accessibility​. SmartHubs will examine, develop and apply research methods and tools in four SmartHubs Living Labs in Belgium (Brussels), the Netherlands (Rotterdam-the Hague), Germany (Munich) and Austria (Vienna and aspern Seestadt).

SmartHubs will develop and apply novel participatory and impact assessment tools like

• an open accessibility tool involving inputs from individual citizens to examine the local accessibility impacts of mobility hubs,
• an accessibility network analysis and resilience tool to examine the impacts of mobility hubs on transport network resilience,
• a multi-actor multi-criteria analysis method to involve individual citizens and
• tangible augmented reality technologies and gamification and user experience (UX) approaches to facilitate co-creation processes of mobility hub design.

Finally, SmartHubs will conduct rigorous research on a broad range of mobility, accessibility, vulnerability, resilience and societal impacts of mobility hubs (including environmental, equity, gender, and transport poverty impacts) which go beyond the current state of the art.

Spatially-differentiated effects of automated driving

The project will investigate the effects of automated driving in the so-called transition phase. During this transition phase, automated driving is expected to be limited to individual sections of the road network with low complexity and low risk levels. According to the technological maturity, the impacts will increase. The differentiated consideration of the impacts during the transition period should provide RZU members with valuable insights for spatial and transport policy and support the achievement of existing spatial planning objectives in the RZU area.

Ultimate Integrated Mobility

In view of the climate crisis, the Austrian mobility system faces complex challenges: Increasing traffic, urban sprawl and consumer-oriented lifestyles are causing more and more climate-relevant gases. On the other hand, there are numerous barriers that stand in the way of the implementation of innovative sustainable mobility offers. A radical rethink is therefore required in many areas. The ULTIMOB project is concerned with advancing the turnaround in mobility, creating necessary new mobility offers and combining them with existing solutions in a meaningful way.
