SAFiP

System scenarios for automated driving in passenger mobility

The project System Scenarios for Automated Driving in Passenger Mobility (SAFiP) aims to develop scenarios for passenger mobility that describe the transport system while anticipating the possibilities and developments in the field of automated driving. This is done with the help of a multi-method approach in a broad and comprehensive dialogue with experts and stakeholders from politics, administration, science, industry and civil society. On the basis of these scenarios, traffic-relevant impact spectra are estimated and quantified. The analysis takes particular account of the interactions between society, space, mobility and transport. The aim is to derive the requirements and necessities for various policy fields (RTI, transport, spatial planning, etc.) and concrete further measures. A special focus in the project is on the importance of fully automated driving for public transport, which is explicitly considered in the scenarios.

AEIÖU

Exhaustion of the explanatory content In Austria On the road

As studies show, purchasing power, affordability and prices play an increasingly important role in mobility behaviour. One of the main objectives of the project is therefore to determine the financial factors and their magnitude that influence mobility, both in terms of private households and at the macroeconomic level. In addition to "classic" influencing factors factors such as spatial location, accessibility, functional mixes in the settlement area, but also household parameters (structure, age, education), income levels, commuter allowances, etc). However, the KONTIV design of the mobility surveys in use (e.g. "Austria on the Move") does not allow for a detailed overarching analysis of mobility and purchasing power. The improvement of the evidence base on mobility behaviour (also in relation to specific population groups) by "blending" consumption surveys and other relevant data sources with data on mobility behaviour (mobility surveys, commuter surveys, microcensus etc.) as well as the identification of new questions and indicator definitions form the content of AEIÖU.

Easy Travel

Easy Travel - new mobility concepts in tourism

In order to promote sustainable tourism, innovative mobility offers are being developed in the "Easy Travel" project, which, as a complete package, enable holidaymakers to travel to and from their destination (internationally) as well as to be mobile on site without their own car. Since the transport of luggage and the fear of a lack of mobility at the holiday destination are decisive factors for the majority of holidaymakers when choosing their own car as the preferred means of transport for arrival and departure, the focus is particularly on innovative, integrated solutions for luggage transport, flexible mobility at the holiday destination and simple booking of all components for a seamless mobility chain in one process.

MobilTIMES

Concepts for a multifunctional use of the mobility time budget

mobilTIMES considers application-oriented solutions for multidimensional and thus improved use of the inherently available mobility time budget. To this end, the topic of "multitasking" is examined in an interdisciplinary and comprehensive manner. Based on time diaries, in-depth empirical surveys and an explorative field test (design, equipment, municipal and company mobility management, etc.), concrete implementation strategies and concepts will be developed together with public transport operators, companies and the municipality in order to make a switch to public transport attractive through attractive multitasking designs and offers.

SAGMO

School goes green-mobile! We are transport researchers - what are transport planners?

SAGMO brings Green Mobility closer to the pupils of the provincial capital Eisenstadt, which is characterised by a high proportion of children with a migration background and second language skills, in an age-appropriate way through active research into their own mobility and environment. By applying competence-oriented learning in the form of TUN and integrating the research and evaluation activities into science subjects, a targeted, close-knit peer learning network is created across school levels and schools. In cooperation with the city, the mobility centre and the provincial school board, not only the students' own mobility is researched, but also mobility-related occupational fields are explored. This holistic approach aims at a conscious and increased self-determined mobility of the pupils.

Lateral thinking

In accordance with the requirements of the call for proposals, this submission, entitled "Thinking outside the box", provides scientific support for projects that are being funded in the current call for proposals under point 2.1.5 (Thinking outside the box in terms of personal mobility). It will also be analysed whether and to what extent existing funding instruments take into account innovative ideas, concepts and implementations, as well as perspectives that reach beyond the boundaries of disciplines. To this end, on the one hand, corresponding national and international research funding programmes will be examined and, on the other hand, projects will be analysed on the basis of various dimensions (funding, risk, innovation content, sustainability, interdisciplinarity, etc.). These dimensions are worked out in close cooperation with all those involved (stakeholders), for which creative methods from the repertoire of qualitative research (social research) are used (brainstorming, in-depth interviews, quasi-Delphi,...). The goal is to develop measures and proposals for how innovation promotion and "lateral thinking" can be ideally anchored in instruments, tender design and decision-making processes.

ELMO

Electrically mobile with electricity from the region

The Elsbeere Wienerwald region - like many other rural regions - is currently heavily dependent on fossil-fuelled means of transport. Alternative forms of mobility, including electric mobility, are therefore becoming more and more interesting, especially there, due to increasing resource scarcity and climate protection reasons. With "EL-MO", the Elsbeere Wienerwald region wants to introduce children and young people to electric mobility as an environmentally friendly mobility alternative at an early stage and show which occupational fields face the challenge of developing new mobility technologies and creating framework conditions for everyday use. "EL-MO" lets the students actively try out interdisciplinary cooperation in addition to various technical disciplines (mobility planning, electric motor and electricity storage technology, electricity generation from renewable resources) and applied research to show that sustainable solutions can only be developed together. Moreover, special emphasis is placed on reaching parents, relatives and generally the citizens of the region through "EL-MO" and sensitising them to the topic.

IKARUS

Influence of innovative concepts and mobility services on the supply and use of public space in urban structures

The overall objective of the IKARUS project is to investigate the impact of different smart city concepts and new mobility services on public space. For this purpose, an overview of the status quo and current mobility trends in Vienna will be compiled in the first work step. Smart City concepts and innovative mobility services to cope with future challenges will be described. In the second work step, it is defined what is meant by public space and how its future use should look like according to the official political goals. In the third step, the interactions between mobility concepts and services on the one hand and public space on the other hand are examined. Special attention will be paid to the needs of pedestrians. Finally, the results of the three work steps will be summarised, conclusions drawn and recommendations derived.

URBE

Urban ReBound effects

In the uRbe project, the main aim is to improve empirical research in the field of rebound effects. Theoretical foundations such as modelling of consumers including simulations of interventions (behavioural changes, ...) are followed by extensive survey activities consisting of questionnaires, interviews and an online survey. Based on the collected data, rebound effects in the areas of buildings, appliances and mobility are to be quantified in practice and their causes explained. Based on this, further project objectives are, on the one hand, the development of technology and system-related measures to avoid or reduce rebound effects in Austrian urban households and, on the other hand, the preparation of recommendations for the promotion of research, development and innovation.

AGORA

Mobility needs of an ageing society - optimisation of public transport services in Vienna's outlying areas by means of alternative service forms

The overall objective of the AGORA project is to examine the possibility of maintaining or expanding public transport services in peripheral urban areas through the use of alternative forms of public transport. A special focus is on the changing requirements of future users due to socio-demographic developments. In a first step, conventional and alternative forms of service as well as the current public transport offer in Vienna are analysed. In a second step, the socio-demographic developments of the past are examined and relevant scenarios are selected from the available forecasts. The demand resulting from the selected scenarios is compared to different variants of public transport services including alternative service forms. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the different variants are determined and evaluated. From this, recommendations for the future design of public transport services in urban peripheral areas will be derived.

MERKUR

Impact of the development of the e-bike market on risks, conflicts and accidents on cycling infrastructures

E-bikes have some features that indicate an increased risk of accidents. For example, with a front-wheel drive, completely unexpected handling characteristics can occur when cornering. It can also be assumed that the high acceleration capacity and the achievable high speeds - especially on tightly dimensioned cycling facilities - can lead to conflicts and accidents.
As e-bikes are not recorded separately by the executive authorities in the accident statistics, it is not yet possible to make any investigations into the occurrence of accidents. The aim of the MERKUR project is to use a wide range of different methods and sources to come to reliable conclusions about the type and extent of the possibly higher risk and its causes. The variety of methods ranges from theoretical analyses and expert discussions to interviews with e-bike users and conflict analyses. The following products will be derived from the identified user requirements and risk causes:

Recommendations for a conflict mitigating adaptation of the design of cycling infrastructures and the corresponding guidelines
Materials for raising awareness of e-bike specific risk potentials, and
Proposal for target group specific e-bike training courses.

The MERKUR project was supported with funds from the Austrian Road Safety Fund.

3D-BIKE

3D acceleration measurement as a tool for assessing comfort - evaluation of the human-bicycle infrastructure system

Cycling is an important component of a sustainable transport system. In order to promote this non-motorised means of individual transport, it is necessary to increase the quality of the infrastructure and thus the comfort of its use. Various automated and manual methods have been and are being used to measure the quality of the road surface. However, there are no known applications of automated measurement methods for other features that influence comfort, such as a straight line without detours and few interruptions. The aim of the 3D-Bike project is to develop a measurement system that can measure the three factors mentioned above by measuring accelerations in three dimensions simultaneously in one ride.

EISERN

Energy investment strategies and long-term emission reduction requirements

Policies and the investments in the energy system based on them are increasingly shaped and controlled by future emission reduction obligations. In this study, global and supra-regional emission scenarios are first converted into predefined emission paths for Austria using a top-down approach. Then the necessary measures in the sectors household, services, key industries, energy production and transport are determined. For this purpose, the reduction contributions of the technologies to be used and the corresponding investments are examined with the help of a bottom-up approach.

The research unit for transport planning and traffic engineering has modelled different scenarios of measures in the transport sector and their impact on CO2 emissions up to the year 2050 with an adaptation of the MARS-Austria model.
