    Evaluation "Leezenflow"

    Das·Projekt „ Leezenflow" soll die Radfahrqualität vor den Ampeln in-Münster steigern. Das Leezenflow-System ist als Grüne-Welle-Assistent konzipiert, der den Radfahrer*innen in Münster durch dynamische LED-Anzeigen anzeigt, wie lange die aktuelle Ampelphase noch dauern wird. Dies soll dazu führen, dass möglichst wenig Radfahrer*innen vor roten Ampeln stehen müssen. Stattdessen sollen die Radfahrer*innen durch geringfügige, individuelle Geschwindigkeitsanpassungen im „Flow" bleiben können. Ob die anvisierten Auswirkungen auf den Radverkehrsfluss tatsächlich realisiert werden können und inwiefern die Verkehrssicherheit durch das Leezenflow-System beeinflusst

    TR Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Space Wars

     

        Urban street space is scarce and must be shared by different modes of transport. In this study, Gernot Sieg and Jan Wessel analyse how street space should be allocated between cars, buses, bicycles, and parking in order to maximise the economic efficiency of the transport system. To this end, they develop an economic model of travel mode choice that accounts for how travel times, prices, and congestion influence travellers’ decisions. Applying the model to transport data from Berlin and New York City, the simulations show that reallocating street space away from cars towards buses and especially bicycles can substantially increase the efficiency of urban transport systems. The optimal extent of such reallocations differs between cities and is more pronounced in Berlin than in New York. Overall, the results suggest that reallocating street space can improve not only environmental outcomes, but also economic efficiency in urban transport.   Access the full article in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives.
