  1. Managing mobility for a better future

  2. Karl-Heinz Posch Senior Consultant FGM-AMORwww.fgm.at Research and consultancy, 60 employees, based in Graz, AustriaHas participated in over 70 EU-projects with over 400 partners all over Europe Currently also in ELTIS, CIVITAS-ELAN, EPOMM-management Extensive consultancy for cities and regions Coordinator EPOMM (and EPOMM-PLUS)www.epomm.eu

  3. E P O M M The Objectives of EPOMM To promote Mobility Management as a tool to make mobility environmental friendly, socially just and economical To promote and further develop Mobility Management in Europe To support active information exchange and learning on Mobility Management between European countries To become the prime partner for European Institutions and national governments when seeking advice on Mobility Management

  4. EPOMM Member states Feb 2006

  5. EPOMM Member states Feb 2010ECOMMs 1997-2010 March 2011: - Spain + Norway + Finland + Italy + Greece

  6. BUS Rapid Transit • is a high quality bus-based transit system • that delivers: • fast, comfortable and cost effective urban mobility • through the provision of • segregated right of way infrastructure • rapid and frequent operations • excellence in marketing and customer serviced

  7. Characteristics of a Bus Rapid Transit System Physical Infrastructure • Segregated Busways or bus-only roadways • Integrated Network • Enhanced Stations • Level Access • Improvements of nearby public space

  8. Buslane or busway?

  9. Characteristics of a Bus Rapid Transit System Operations • Frequent and rapid service • Ample capacity • Rapid boarding and alighting • Pre-board fare collection • Fare integration

  10. Characteristics of a Bus Rapid Transit System Business and institutional structure • Entry restricted • Competitive bids for operation • Efficient management • Independently operated fare collection • Independent quality control

  11. Characteristics of a Bus Rapid Transit System Technology • Low emission and low noise vehicles • Automatic fare collection • System management through control centre • Signal priority or grade separation at intersections (crossings)

  12. Characteristics of a Bus Rapid Transit System Marketing and Customer Service • Distinctive Marketing identity • Excellence in customer service • Easy transition to other urban mobility options • Good access for people with reduced mobility • Clear route maps / signage / information

  13. 70-ies: Jaime Lerner and Curitiba

  14. 90-ies Enrique Penalosa and Bogotá

  15. Benefits • Fast planning time: 12-18 months • Low planning costs: 1-3 Million $ = 50-150 Million rupees • Fast realisation – can be done within 2-3 years • Huge capacity: up to 45,000 passengers per hour (Bogotá) – just like a metro • High operational speed: 23-30 km/hour • On surface – doesn‘t chase pedestrians underground, takes room AWAY from cars instead of PROVIDING space for cars • Usually comes with improved urban spaces • Usually operates profitably, without subsidy • Socially equitable, environmental friendy, economically beneficial: SUSTAINABLE! • Can define axis of development

  16. How to start • Pre-Feasibility study • Identification of major transit corridors • Summary of previous figures and studies • Rough estimates of potential benefits • Missions and technical visits – from BRT-cities and to BRT-cities • Production of videos or models to show how BRT would look in the local context • Find a project holder • Feasibility study • Approximate size • Projected passenger demand • Initial cost estimates • Estimates of cost savings and other benefits • Comparison to alternatives

  17. China and the world,a few figures • 10% growth since 1980 • Equals doubling every7 years! • Oil demand China 2001:4,5 Mio barrels per day • 2008: 8,5 Mio bpd • Electric two wheelers production China 1991: 0,06 Mio • 2009: 22,2 Mio • Fleet today 120 Mio

  18. Back to Auroville

  19. Mobility of the surrounding village population • The trend is massively towards more and higher motorisation • Barriers, gates, regulations in the short term won't work • Road upgrading will attract more motorised traffic to Auroville and so proper studies and monitoring systems should be in place before this is taken up • Regular contact with local planning authorities • Take into account the land use planning and mobility planning of the Auroville bioregion for the development of AV-mobility Awareness Programme to provide the larger picture • Outreach groups (about 40!) • Scholarships and trainings • Environment • Mobility • Electric mobility • Awareness activity at local schools • Restricted access times • Encourage sustainable and electric mobility in villages • Investigate Gate function • At Dana • At Certitude corner • Look for a regional/national electric mobility support programme
