We have made the effectiveness of mobility measures measurable
We have developed and tested an innovative evaluation method that can assess the impacts of transport infrastructure projects. This serves as a basis for information and decision-making.
Our goal was to combine measures in such a way that accessibility in an urban region is ensured and that settlement structures are specifically developed along public transport corridors.
At the same time, emissions and energy consumption must be reduced with the lowest possible investment. Our method evaluates action packages in terms of their contribution to goals in an urban region and their cost-effectiveness.
We have created the methodological basis for the evaluation.
We have developed a new, structured evaluation process that systematically captures and compares the effects of measures.
For this, we have defined central indicators that reflect relevant target variables for transport and urban development, and have also developed precise calculation rules to ensure a uniform and comprehensible assessment.
In addition, we have developed instruments for modeling the effects of measures, which allow for realistic depiction and analysis of different scenarios and their impact on the transport system.
Enabling a holistic assessment for effective mobility measures
Current assessment procedures do not measure the effects of individual infrastructure projects in combination with accompanying measures.
However, traffic science research has long shown that a combination of public transport improvements and traffic restrictions (push and pull), as well as coordinated, public transport-oriented urban development, achieves the best results.
We have developed approaches to operationalize this in evaluation procedures. The results can help in the future to select and prioritize sets of measures for a mobility transition.
Here we provide insights into our research and results.
What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
What is happening in the district?
