Why should we monitor? What do we want to know?What will we do with the data collected?
Monitoring can be used: • To check against the targets- Are we moving in the right direction?- Do we have to adapt? • To give permanent feedback to decision makers • To allow to compare with others • To raise awareness • Change of behaviour
What should be avoided: • Do collect data becaus it is possible to collect • To do it only once (at the end of a project) • To set up an expensive complex system
Objective: Raise the share of cycle trips • Household survey (travel diary) • Interviews (BICY methode) • Corridor counting • Counting at destinations • Check if there are available numbers of regulary surveys of the national statistic service
Let‘s see what our children wantMobility behaviour of Austrian children 10-14 on the way to school Actual modal share cycling traffic
Desire and Reality Mobility behaviour of Austrian children 10-14 on the way to school Actual modal share cycling traffic Desired modal share cycling
Possible methodes • Use of existing data (police, bicycle sellers, safety statistics) • Collect own data- observation ( foto, video….)- counting (observe and count,automatic counting…)- interviews (online, postal, telefone, face to face)
What could be monitored Cycle share (trips, km, time) Potential for Cycling (eg. Number of short car trips) User (Cyclists) satisfaction Infrastructure (like with the BICY indicators) Motorist behaviour (speed) And…… And……
Recommendations to the city of Graz for monitoring: • Continue with the representative survey of households in Graz every 5 years with regard to their mobility behaviour • Continue and expand counting of cyclists with automatic counting machines in the bicycle network and supplement it with public counting machines • Monitoring of existing bicycle parking facilities and the deficit of bicycle parking facilities and the existing bicycle network (length of net, density of net, load in comparison to width) • Intensify monitoring of the quality of existing infrastructure (condition of bicycle traffic connection, signpostings and bicycle parking facilities, also with respect to abandoned bikes) • Check if the existing parking management staff could be integrated in the monitoring activities for bicycle traffic
Company Mobility management TU Graz • Actions: • Reduction of parking slots from 1600 to 760 • Paid parking and parking criteria (use of revenues for Cycle and PT measures) • 800 bicycle racks with roof and 900 without roof • 3 bicycle repair boxes, 7 Bicycle repair days • 350 Company bicycles • CO2 savings of ~ 550 t/a
Workshop tasks: Monitoring • Objectives – what should be monitored ? • Methodes to be used ? • What can be done by yourself?
