Description

This project will explore the potential of walking and cycling tracking services to promotewalking and cycling mobility. We will focus on established walking and cycling promotionmeasures and thoroughly assess the potential of ICT based tracking services to overcomebarriers to implementation and finding new factors driving the effectiveness of thosemeasures. Through specific research, the related ICT challenges like scheme dynamics, privacy,trust, low-cost, interoperability and flexibility will be tackled for each type of measure. Themeasures to target will be established measures to promote walking and cycling travel toworkplace, shopping, school and leisure promotion measures. We will investigate both theability that tracking tools may have to address traditional challenges of these measures andtheir potential to bring new features in the fields of awareness raising, financial/tax incentives,infrastructure planning and service concepts. A common, flexible and open access tool will bedeveloped to provide an ICT input and output platform that addresses the related ICTchallenges. Over this platform it will be easy for anyone to build products based on trackingservices tailored to the requirements of the specific measures. This project will develop andtest a representative set of such products in real measures underway. These test cases will atthe same time validate and provide additional inputs for the project’s research issues andtrigger the widespread of tracking services to support walking and cycling measures in Europe.Users, policy makers and walking and cycling practitioners and final users will be deeplyinvolved in all stages of the project.
