Overview

Background & policy context:

The promotion of public and bicycle transport is undisputed. Unfortunately the space is especially in towns restricted and so the both means of transportation are in competition with each other. The question is, with which measures the attractiveness and the safety of the public and the bicycle transport can be increased at the same time.


Objectives:

The aim of the research is to develop a structure to integrate this subject in the norms of the Association of Swiss Road and Traffic Engineers and to work out the technical basis for the norms.

The technical information contains recommendations for using the traffic lanes for public transport by bicycles and for the guidance of bicycles around the stops of public transport.

Methodology:

The following works were carried out as part of the study of the topic:

  • Compiling a bibliography
  • Literature evaluate
  • Discussions with public transport operators and the members of the VSS Expert Commission carry out
  • Define standard concept
  • Overview assembles about the possible ways of implementing supply LZV
