2 European Conference of Transport Research Institutes Idea launched in 2001 Officially established in 2003 as a non-profit association registered in France and governed by French law Brings together 20 main transport research institutes or universities from 17 countries in Europe dealing with at least bi-modal research Aim: building of the European Research Area (ERA) in surface transport issues by cooperation through thematic and process oriented working groups, task forces, Framework Program projects, seminars June 13 th,

3 URBAMOVE s Strategic Research Agenda for Urban Mobility in the European Union working group on urban mobility: created in November 2004 Aims of the working group Common reflections about research needs in urban mobility to European, National and Regional Institutions Working programme for actions at short, medium and long term First action: Strategic Research Agenda on Urban Public Transport -> presented at the UITP World Congress in Rome 2005 URBAMOVE-paper: SRA for Urban Mobility in the European Union URBAMOVE research agenda for urban mobility Input to complement SRA of existing technology platforms Specific highlight given to public transport; but: research agenda applies to all urban modes June 13 th,

5 Urban Mobility Background I 80% of European s citizen live in urban areas Private car is the most frequently used transport mode Situation in GERMANY Modal split depending on number of inhabitants 100% 12,6 90% 80% 21,9 23,2 22,9 26,0 28,9 52,5 34,9 70% 60% 50% 8,5 4,7 10,4 9,8 4,3 6,0 9,9 10,4 8,8 18,3 40% 30% 20% 63,4 60,9 60,2 52,4 42,5 rural area urbanised area agglomeration area 10% 0% <20,000 20,000 - <50,000 50,000 - <100, ,000 - <500, ,000+ inhabitants private car/ motor cycle local public transport bicycle walking other Source: own calculation, MiD 2002 June 13 th,

6 Urban Mobility Background II GERMANY: Cities > inhabitants Trips made by car: trip distance > 10 km 32,9 10 km 5 km 22,1 27,2 Congestion Noise 2 km 10,5 0-1 km 7,3 0,0 5,0 10,0 15,0 20,0 25,0 30,0 35,0 Enforcement of car dependent life styles Loss of quality of life Enforcement of suburbanisation June 13 th,

7 Common agreement of all type of stakeholders (EU, states, research institutes, transport companies ) Central components for more efficient urban transport systems intermodality Germany Amount of intermodal trips Total: 2 % Cities > inhabitants: 3,6% Cities > inhabitants: 5,8% multimodality 2 % pedestrian 21 % multimodal 9 % public transport 6 % bicycle integration Problem So far: modal approach Aims Easy change from one to the other mode Trip optimisation -> physical interchange -> information facilities 63 % car MOP June 13 th,
