Mobility Data Management in Local Conditions (SVI2001/531)
Overview
Background & policy context:
For years, the demand for multimodal transport data increased constantly, both for engineering and planning issues as well as in connection with politics, environment, finances (taxes), or for the statistics in general. All these needs call for an efficient and simple database management and preparation.
Currently, there are ongoing efforts on national level in that direction (STRADA-DB, national multimodal traffic database), the emphasis lying on solutions for a national transport data "portal" (i.e. an information platform which informs the users where to find relevant transport data). But these attempts are not simply applicable to local conditions for different reasons.
Objectives:
The city of Zug was taken as an example. The objective of the project is a development of a system for collecting, managing and updating of traffic data in the fields of public transport , slow traffic, stationary traffic and accidents, which is tailored to local needs. Further objective is the implementation of the system on the basis of a pilot application and assessment of the general applicability of the findings to small-scale applications.
Methodology:
First, the user needs for mobility data and the available data sets were recorded and structured. In a next step, database sketches were developed and finally, a pilot application was carried out.
