Four themes and corresponding strategic choices: 1. "the compact city" -Prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists as well as achieving safe and slow traffic. 2. "mobility on a human scale" -Putting the traveler in the center by making shared mobility, cycling and public transport more user-friendly by a target group and area-oriented approach. 3. "city-friendly transport" -Address safety and waste management considerations in the creation of new and existing spaces. 4. "region and node development" -Mobility hubs are the key for a mobility network.
Implementation follows an area-based approach incl. different instruments (center environments, pre-war districts, post-war districts and regional context and mobility hubs)
area-based approach: -emphasis within the mobility transition will differ per area or district -goal: the mobility system will be made more tailor-made
efficient use of existing space: -shared mobility is an instrument for making space in public areas -logistics mobility hubs with smart digital technology for efficient goods transport -private cars are parked as much as possible on private property
accessible mobility networks: -a suitable network for intersection level and network level -residential and commercial development should include easily accessible parking. -realisation of s hubs system for the entire region The Hag -reinforcement for the public transport sector -idea of neighborhood hubs -develop a network of metropolitan bicyles routes
-Overall goal: Everyone has a mobility system at their disposal that is tailored to their needs, safe, sustainable, clean, affordable and connectted.
Overall goals unitl 2030: -Safe: Ambition of 0 traffic victims per year -Efficient: In use of space and infrastructure -Clean: Meets enviromental and climate ambitions -Tailor-Made: Enabling everyone to reach their destination -Affordable: Both for travellers and government -Connected: With the regions and other metropolitan regions at home and abroad
-Smart Mobilty is not a goal in itself, but it is a tool to achieve social goals.
Vison of Smart Mobility: three pillars of mobility 1. physical and digital infrastructure Goals until 2030: -flexible set up that is fit to accommodate all expected and unknown mobility solutions -smart systems to share date to control and steer the infrastructure -digital set up that provides data on the status of the network of roads and railways 2. mobilty solutions -welcomes new mobility solutions and partnerships for the whole transport chain -municipality responsibilty for affordable mobility -wherever possible, strengthen the public network as a basic quality network for the citiy 3. travelers -stimulates a community-oriented bottom-up approach for initiatives -on-site update of travel information -mobility solutions contribute to the quality of live
New approach: "wave" technic -smart mobility team of the municipality identifies new applications (waves) -twice a year status update -local government can decide which wave they want to surf
