    Catch a Car wurde im August 2014 als erstes free-floating Carsharing-Angebot der Schweiz lanciert. Mittels einer wissenschaftlichen Begleitstudie hat das Institut für Verkehrsplanung und Transportsysteme der ETH Zürich seither die Auswirkungen des free-floating Carsharing auf das Verkehrsverhalten seiner Mitglieder und auf das städtische Verkehrssystem untersucht. In einer ersten Studie in 2014 und 2015 wurden Informationen zu den Nutzergruppen, Nutzungsmustern und verkehrlichen Wirkungen des Angebots gesammelt. Allerdings konnten in der ersten Studie nur die frühen Kunden von Catch a Car untersucht werden. Mit Hilfe einer dritten und vierten Erhebungswelle in 2018 und 2019 wurden die Erkenntnisse daher im Längsschnitt abgesichert. In diesem Bericht stellen wir die Ergebnisse der vierten Erhebungswelle vor.

    Traffic congestion has become a part of commuters’ life in Jakarta for several years. Even though 3-in-1 traffic regulation has been implemented since 1992 in order to reduce the number of car driver travelling in busy corridors during morning and evening peak hours, and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has been operated since 2004, which is aimed to attract car drivers to use public transport, the traffic congestion problem in Jakarta has not been solved. The condition is even predicted to worse if the transport facilities in Jakarta are not improved. In order to find effective measures for reducing car use and improving public transport attractiveness in Jakarta, better understanding of commute mode and route choice behavior would be advantageous. This paper reports the first results of data analysis regarding dynamic behavior of commuters’ mode and route choice in Jakarta. The data were collected using GPS devices including questionnaire sheets during a one-week period. 93 commuters participated in the survey. Even though commute trips are routine trips and therefore often assumed to be static, the results show the presence of dynamic behavior in choosing both modes and routes for commuting. The dynamic behavior is as a way to avoid traffic congested roads and 3-in-1 corridors, and to maintain trip-chaining activities/stops. Car drivers and motorcyclists change frequently their routes, especially during work-to-home trips. Motorcyclists were more dynamic in choosing their routes than car drivers. A unique pattern of mode and route choice behavior was found which can be used for developing mode and route choice model in Jakarta.
  • Is "small" infrastructure the next factory for accessibility?
    Item type: Working Paper

    Decades of investments into “large” transport infrastructure, such as highways and heavy rail have created immense welfare gains through increased accessibility. Today, however, further accessibility improvements in dense urban regions are only possible at rapidly growing costs. Also, the high volumes of car traffic resulting from large highway infrastructure programs conflict with the need for rapid decarbonization. In this paper, we evaluate whether shifting the policy focus toward “small” infrastructure focused on micromobility modes is a viable option for decarbonizing the transport system and creating further accessibility gains. This work analyses a road space reallocation scheme termed “E-Bike City” for Zurich, Switzerland, presented at this conference in 2023. First, we use MATSim to simulate its effects on road traffic. Second, we calculate a logsum accessibility measure for a population sample, before and after the transformation. Value-of-distance indicators from a route choice model are used to quantify the effects of cycling infrastructure, as opposed to mixed traffic. And finally, we report the changes for different population groups and reflect on the impacts. Our first findings indicate that such a policy could strongly reduce the car traffic volumes in some areas, while slightly improving the median accessibility levels across the entire metropolitan region. However, various methodological challenges remain. Given the urgency of the underlying motivation, we want to spur a discussion about the future transport investment focus, as well as an appropriate methodological framework to evaluate the possible paths to be taken.
