Systematic Transfer of Innovative Solutions for Public Transport: the TIDE Experience Website: Twitter: LinkedIn Group: Transport Innovation Deployment for EuropeTransport Innovation Deployment for Europe

Mission Statement Transport Innovation Deployment for Europe is a three year FP7 project that started in September 2012 Enhance the broad take-up of 15 innovative urban transport and mobility measures throughout Europe to establish them as mainstream measures

Scope of activities Create networking opportunities Spread knowledge and provide guidance on 15 inspiring transport measures Develop a wide range of tools to aid transferability of innovation and impact analysis Work with 15 committed cities to demonstrate how the actual implementation of selected innovative measures can be successfully prepared

Relevant TIDE measures

Cluster 1: New pricing measures Milan – WSP Sweden Cluster 2: Non-motorised transport San Sebastian – Rupprecht consult Cluster 3: Advanced network & traffic management to support traveller information Reading – Transporty Research Group University of Southampton Cluster 4: Electric vehicles Rotterdam – Fraunhofer Institute Cluster 5: Public transport organisation BKK Budapest – University of Gdansk Project coordinator: Polis Technical coordinator: Rupprecht Consult Cost-benefit analysis: Wuppertal Institut Dissemination support: Eurocities

Efficient and convenient pricing and charging for multimodal trips Schemes that combine fare and one-point charging for multimodal trips. For example, park & ride paid with the public transport ticket. In the Netherlands, ‘Mobility Mixx’ is a scheme where travels can pay nationwide for public transport, bicycle hire, park & ride with one card.

Open-access server for applications-based traveller information Growing use of smartphone technologies This technology can be used to provide travel information Facilitate 3 rd party to develop applications to utilise data in open data server Network information: congestion, car park occupancy, incidents, roadworks, CCTV images, VMS Examples: UTMC (UK), Open Traffic System – OTS (Germany), 5T systems (Italy)

Improving bus punctuality by using bus priority Real time bus locations using Automatic vehicle location (AVL) system Varying levels of priority given to late buses Improved reliability and regularity (maintain schedule) Examples in London, Helsinki, Turin

Inductive charging for public transport Inductive charging infrastructure can be used for several types of vehicles simultaneously: buses, trams and in future cars as well Decreased battery size and reduced charging times

Creation of public transport management Bodies for metropolitan areas Integrated planning for public transport should be the responsibility of specialised bodies which strengthen integration in the service. Authorities could expand their powers outside city boundaries, i.e. commuter shed An important element is revenue sharing Transport for London is the model for BKK – the integrated transport authority of Budapest.

Background: Since 2010, still in progress Growing number of employees Final tuning Preparation of BMT (new transport development strategy with SUMP principles) Aim of the measure: Transparency Integrated transport management More effective utilization of financial resources Creation of public transport management Bodies for metropolitan areas

Marketing research as optimisation tool in public transport Market research is common in most sectors of the economy, but still underused in public transport. In public transport it can be used to predict future travel behaviour and improve the current service. In Gdynia, marketing research provides valuable information for the optimisation of the supply side of public transport.

Unified Multimodal Transport Model: Under development Large scale research process Expected to be ready in 2015 Q2 Aim of the measure: To recognize current and future market needs Qualitative data on transport behaviour To improve transport service efficiency Marketing research as optimisation tool in public transport

Reducing the risk of starting something new

Reducing the risk when starting something new Most European cities want to be innovative, but not all want to be the first to implement a new measure. -Financial: will we be able to afford the measure? -Political: will the measure be accepted, and will citizens vote in favour of it? -Effectiveness: will the measure solve the problems it is meant to solve? -Implementation: will we be able to introduce the measure smoothly, without delays or extra cost?

Refining existing methodologies for transferability analysis. Enhance the understanding of how to successfully transfer innovative measures from one city to another. Transferability – understanding the context conditions for innovation

Transferability methodology (1) Mission statement/objectives and scoping (2) Impacts of the measure (3) Up-scaling/down-scaling need (4) Main components and sub-components (5) Level of importance of components (6) Situation in the adopter city (7) Conclusions A systematic qualitative methodology to analyse the potential transferability of an innovative transport measure from one city to another Handbook for transferability analysis in urban transport and mobility

Impact assessment – understanding the intrinsic value of a measure Local authorities need guidance on the costs, benefits and overall impacts of innovative urban transport measures Develop a simplified tool for impact analysis Fits a variety of TIDE measures Considers quantified and qualitative effects

Impact assessment methodology  The method is based on a combination of Multi- Criteria Analysis and Cost-Benefit Analysis  Its complexity is adaptable to the proposed measure’s size and data available  Includes quantified and qualitative effects  Visualizes the economic, social and environmental effects of a measure  Handbook for impact assessment

TIDE offers methodologies for cities that want to implement innovative measures. We answer two questions: -Is it good for us? (Impact assessment) -Are we ready? (Transferability assessment) Apply for the TIDE awards! Join the TIDE final conference: September, Barcelona!
