In industrialized countries, mobility represents one of the most important sources of CO2 emissions. Most research on promoting sustainable, climate-friendly modes of transportation has focused on urban areas. Rural areas-although characterized by high dependency on individual car ownership and usage-have received less attention. This article explores the potential role of rural employers in supporting sustainable alternatives to commuting by (single-occupied) motorized vehicles among their employees. We conduct a collective case study that considers five employers located in Eastern Austria (Burgenland), drawing from multiple data sources including structured surveys, expert interviews, focus groups, and site visits. Our analysis shows that employers have little incentive to implement measures that foster sustainable mobility among their employees. On the one hand, the costs accruing to employers for implementing such measures tend to exceed the corresponding benefits by a significant margin (unlike in urban areas where significant cost reductions can arise for employers). On the other hand, also employees generally exhibit little demand for such measures. We conclude that both from a societal and a business perspective, it is not efficient to promote sustainable mobility in rural areas via employers.

Cette thèse examine le processus de déploiement du service Vélib', l'infrastructure de vélos publics de Paris. En se penchant sur les multiples épreuves, pratiques et enquêtes qui rendent possibles le maintien et la permanence de l'infrastructure, elle développe l'argument selon lequel Paris, la première capitale dotée d'une technologie de vélos publics de grande ampleur, est devenu un terrain d'exploration où sont testés des savoirs et instruments relatifs à l'écologie urbaine, les utilisateurs et la mobilité. Il est montré que le devenir expérimental du service n'a jamais constitué une politique explicite, mais qu'il est le résultat de manières concrètes de concevoir et d'affronter les problèmes qui sont apparus. Plutôt que de partir d'une définition préexistante et parfaitement délimitée de ce qu'est l'objet Vélib', cette thèse analyse le dispositif à partir des opérations hétérogènes d'entretien qu'il nécessite, en montrant que chacun de ces arrangements fait agir le service différemment. Cette démarche, qui consiste à étudier le programme de vélos en libre-service en actes, tel qu'il se fabrique dans le travail ordinaire de tous les jours, contribue à ouvrir la voie à un nouveau registre des études sur la mobilité, et à élargir les questions sur les agences, les agencements et les activités qui configurent et fabriquent les infrastructures urbaines. / This doctoral dissertation examines the implementation process of the Parisian public bicycle infrastructure, Vélib'. By focusing on the numerous obstacles, practices and inquiries which allowed the infrastructure to be continued, it argues that Paris, as the first capital boasting a large-scale public bicycling scheme, became a real-life field for experimenting knowledge and tools regarding urban ecology, users and mobility. It demonstrates that the experimental development of the service was never an explicit policy, but rather the outcome of the concrete manners of dealing with and solving the problems that arose. Instead of using a preexisting and clear-cut definition of the Vélib' object, this dissertation analyzes the scheme through the different maintenance operations it requires, by showing how each of these interventions makes a difference in the way the service operates. This approach, which involves studying the public bicycling scheme in action, as it is shaped by its daily operations, lays the groundwork for a new angle of mobility studies and for a broader framing of the issue of agency, as well as the agencements and activities which configure and produce urban infrastructure

This project has investigated how to reshape two-wheel mobility in a more functional driven way, without losing the thrill of riding a motorcycle. The intitial cue was offered by the current rise of electric powertrains in the market. The opportunity of finding new spaces in the existing motorcycle architecture that could increase it's functionality and safety served as inspiration for this project. By achieving these steps this project wishes to envision a product that can attract new audiences whilst making two-wheel mobility more accessible. The process involved a variety of techniques that range from concept creation to 3D visualisation. During the ideation phase digital and analogue sketching techniques were combined after benchmarking existing products and visualising through animations possible solutions. In a later step the design was refined using digital painting in addition to polygon modelling. It has been helpful to evaluate the product in VR through various steps of the process, this provided a better understanding of the volumes and enabled a more accurate design of certain components. The result of the project is Flux. Combining unusual materials, like silicone, with a new layout offered the possibility of creating a simple yet advanced solution that provides various benefits to riding in everyday life. These benefits range from an enhanced cargo capability to an easier way to swap or recharge the batteries. In addition, it features some seamlessly integrated technology improvements that are vowed to make riding safer, without compromising on the experience.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é desenvolver e aplicar um método para avaliação do potencial de transferência de um índice de mobilidade sustentável, com base em três questões. O índice de mobilidade sustentável para campus universitário (IMSCamp), proposto por Oliveira (2015), é transferível para outros contextos? Em caso afirmativo, qual o potencial de transferência do mesmo? A partir das respostas das questões anteriores, qual seria a estrutura mínima para a concepção de um índice de mobilidade para campus universitário possível de ser transferido para qualquer contexto? O método proposto para o estudo foi assim organizado: aplicação do IMSCamp a um novo contexto; análise do seu potencial de transferência por meio de critérios desenvolvidos especificamente para este fim; e organização de um painel de especialistas com o intuito de elencar possíveis indicadores para um índice global de mobilidade sustentável para campus universitário. A avaliação do potencial de transferência, objetivo principal deste estudo, resultou em um valor que indica um baixo potencial de transferência (cerca de 40% do máximo possível) para o índice. Este resultado indica que foram necessárias mudanças expressivas para adaptá-lo a um novo campus; sendo assim, não se trata de um índice global diretamente aplicável, sem mudanças, a diversos contextos. Apesar disso, foi possível reproduzir o método de aplicação do IMSCamp no campus da USP de Piracicaba, que resultou em um valor de 0,491 (cerca de 50% do máximo possível), mostrando a viabilidade de seu uso em diferentes contextos, desde que feitos alguns ajustes. Isto obviamente depende da existência de recursos para sua adaptação, o que neste caso não se configurou em uma barreira intransponível. Por fim, o painel de especialistas trouxe evidências de que, dentre os 20 indicadores originais do IMSCamp, 13 mereceram destaque, em termos de relevância e adequação, para compor um índice aplicável a contextos distintos. Seriam eles: Infraestrutura de transporte público urbano, Qualidade das calçadas dentro e de acesso ao campus, Vagas para usuários com restrição de mobilidade, Transporte público urbano, Segurança pública, Acessibilidade dos prédios, Infraestrutura de estacionamento, Bicicletários e paraciclos, Infraestrutura de acesso ao campus, Adequação do modo de transporte, Qualidade das vias no campus, Infraestrutura cicloviária e Ações de educação no trânsito. / This study aims to develop and to apply a method for assessing the transferability of a sustainable mobility index for university campus. Three main questions guide the research: Is IMSCamp (an index created by Oliveira, 2015) transferable to a new context? In this case, what is its transferability potential? According to the previous answers, what should be the framework of a sustainable mobility index for university campus that is transferable to any context? The proposed method was organized as follows: application of IMSCamp to a new context; assessment of the transferability potential of this index by means of rating criteria that have been specially developed for this purpose; and organization of a panel of experts to select indicators for a global sustainable mobility index for university campus. The evaluation of the transferability potential, which was the main purpose of this study, indicated a low level of transferability (around 40% of the maximum value) for the index. This result indicates that considerable adjustments had been required in order to adapt it to a new campus. It means that it is not the case of a global index that may be directly applied without adjustments to various contexts. Nevertheless, it was possible to reproduce the IMSCamp method at the University of São Paulo campus in Piracicaba, which resulted in a value of 0.491 (around 50% of the maximum possible value), bringing evidence that the index can be applied in different campuses after some adjustments. The application obviously depends on the availability of resources for the adaptations needed, what was not a unsurmountable obstacle in the case studied. Finally, the experts\' panel brought evidences that 13 out of the 20 original indicators of IMSCamp have enough relevance and suitability to constitute an index transferable to different contexts. These indicators are: Public transport infrastructure, Quality of sidewalks (inside and around the campus), Parking spaces for people with disability, Public transport, Public safety, Buildings accessibility, Parking infrastructure, Bicycle racks, Infrastructure to access the campus, Suitability of transport modes, Pavement quality inside the campus, Cycling infrastructure and Traffic education initiatives.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar e discutir procedimentos e diretrizes para a construção e validação de um índice para a avaliação das condições de sustentabilidade da mobilidade associada a grandes Polos Geradores de Viagens (PGV), tais como, por exemplo, campi universitários. Os procedimentos foram organizados nas seguintes etapas: i) avaliação das condições atuais de mobilidade; ii) desenvolvimento ou adaptação de um índice de mobilidade sustentável; iii) definição de estratégias para cálculo e de valores de referência para os indicadores; iv) atribuição de pesos para o modelo; v) validação do modelo; e vi) aplicação do modelo. Uma abordagem bottom-up foi utilizada para o desenvolvimento do índice, com base em informações obtidas em uma pesquisa abrangente realizada com usuários de um campus (PGV). As opiniões dos usuários foram traduzidas em indicadores potenciais, que foram posteriormente organizados em uma estrutura hierárquica. Como os pesos atribuídos aos elementos da estrutura hierárquica devem expressar a relevância de cada componente do modelo, os valores de peso foram uma combinação de percepções dos usuários com diretrizes de planejamento baseadas em pontos de alavancagem. O processo de validação foi capaz de identificar falhas na estrutura do modelo, consequência de um viés posteriormente identificado na pesquisa com os usuários. Em relação aos pesos, a adoção de valores distintos se mostrou uma estratégia adequada quando comparada a uma hierarquia de modos de transporte definida por princípios de sustentabilidade. O uso de pesos constantes, por outro lado, não se mostrou capaz de satisfazer esta condição. A aplicação do índice desenvolvido no estudo de caso, com o nome IMSCamp, resultou em um valor de 0,459 (em uma escala de 0-1) para o campus da Universidade de São Paulo em São Carlos. O resultado sugere que as condições de mobilidade do campus estudado não eram sustentáveis. Apesar deste resultado negativo, a abordagem desenvolvida permitiu a identificação de indicadores, temas ou domínios prioritários para melhoria. Esta identificação é um primeiro passo importante para um processo cíclico de estabelecimento de metas, intervenção e acompanhamento dos resultados por meio de avaliações contínuas ao longo do tempo. / The objective of this study was to introduce and discuss procedures and guidelines for the construction and validation of an index for the assessment of sustainability conditions of mobility associated to large Trip Generators (TG), for example, university campuses. The procedures were organized in the following steps: i) assessment of the current mobility conditions; ii) development or adaptation of a sustainable mobility index; iii) definition of strategies for calculation and of reference values for the indicators; iv) assignment of weights to the model; v) model validation; and vi) model application. A bottom-up approach was used for the index development, based on information obtained in a comprehensive survey carried out with users of the campus (TG). The users\' views were translated into potential indicators, which were subsequently organized in a hierarchical framework. As the weights assigned to the elements of the hierarchical structure must express the relevance of each model component, the weight values were a combination of users perceptions with planning guidelines based on leverage points. The validation process was able to identify gaps in the model structure, which were a consequence of a survey bias later identified. Regarding the weights, the adoption of different values proved to be an adequate strategy when compared to a hierarchy of transportation modes defined by sustainability principles. On the other hand, the use of constant weights would not be able to satisfy that condition. The application of the index developed in the case study, named IMSCamp, resulted in a value of 0.459 (in a 0-1 scale) for the campus of the University of São Paulo at São Carlos. The result suggests that the mobility conditions of the studied campus were not sustainable. Despite this negative result, however, the developed approach allowed the identification of priority indicators, themes or domains for improvement. This identification is a first important step for a cyclic process of establishment of goals, intervention, and monitoring of the results through continuous assessments along time.

Electric car sharing is gradually expanding as an innovative and more sustainable mobility alternative to private cars. Though, the use of such mobility service has not yet reached the desired levels worldwide despite attracting large number of customers. For car sharing operators, thus, it is imperative to understand the users and their needs beyond the existing demographics and quantitative data in order to design more desirable and useful services that expand customer acceptance and usage rate of such alternative. This thesis is an exploratory study about users’ needs, behaviors, and experiences toward electric car sharing and the service requirements resulting from these dimensions. Using user- centered service design approach, the study focuses in obtaining qualitative insights about users through workshops with focus groups in regards to LEV-pool, a research project that intends to field test a new approach to car sharing by offering small size electric vehicles for local mobility at a large workplace. Based on three user-centered service design methods: customer journey map, personas, and stakeholder map, a visual mapping of users, their needs, behaviors, and experiences, and service requirements is developed. The findings point at different user types with distinct purposes of using car sharing, whose needs for mobility (at work) are affected by external factors such as work activities and job occupation. Their mobility behavior differs in terms of how they interact with car sharing service and is partly influenced by the service offering. In general, users show various experiences toward car sharing systems, and many relate it to technical aspects of the service. In terms of service requirements, the results highlight available vehicles at the needed time, simple and easy booking system with many features responsive to users’ needs, maintenance and cleanliness of vehicles, effective communication of service offering, and simple pricing schemes. The underlying user dimensions explored show as relevant in shaping the users’ evaluation of a service and their decision to use a certain mobility alternative. / Electric car sharing offers a more sustainable mobility alternative to private cars.

A transformation of our current transport system and individual mobility behaviour is an essential pre-requisite for attaining a desirable future that enables a life within environmental boundaries ("safe operating space") and higher well-being at the same time. Accordingly, this paper focuses on the potentials of a resource-saving, sustainable transport system with reduced, but still satisfactory, mobility. To achieve the vision of resource-efficiency in Europe, a new understanding of mobility is needed: "the mode of travel is the reward of the journey", meaning that it is not about travelling fastest and frequently, but unhurried (easy-going), infrequently and sustainably. We describe a socially inclusive and innovative transport system that could achieve this vision and discuss the kinds of policy measures that would be required to implement it. Changes are required in many areas including values, preferences, infrastructure, technology, governance and the economy. (authors' abstract)

Adaptações da estrutura urbana visando incentivar as viagens por modos sustentáveis, bem como a seleção e a implantação de ações e políticas com o mesmo propósito, são ainda desafios para técnicos e gestores. O Índice de Mobilidade Urbana Sustentável (IMUS) foi aqui adotado como base de uma estratégia para contornar esses problemas. Cada um de seus 87 indicadores foi avaliado por especialistas, os quais apontaram potenciais dificuldades para a implementação de melhorias. Com base nestas avaliações foi possível desenvolver, aplicar e analisar os resultados de um método de planejamento através de cenários, com a finalidade de obter alternativas para adaptar cidades ao conceito de mobilidade sustentável. Os resultados obtidos com a aplicação na cidade de São Carlos apontam o método como uma estratégia promissora de planejamento urbano, pois se mostrou capaz de indicar diversos possíveis conjuntos de ações práticas com grande potencial para conduzir a cidade à meta de mobilidade urbana sustentável. Estas ações puderam ser escolhidas com base em critérios claros, tais como: custo de execução, períodos de tempo (múltiplos de 4 anos, de forma a coincidir com o período de gestão dos prefeitos) ou ainda, o risco político decorrente da execução das ações. A análise dos resultados conduziu à conclusão de que o método é adequado para fins de planejamento urbano, uma vez que foi consistente não apenas com os problemas observados, mas também com as soluções previstas para muitos dos desafios da mobilidade urbana. Além disso, os indicadores que influenciam indiretamente na Geração de Viagens Sustentáveis (GVS), e que estavam associados a ações classificadas como viáveis em todos os quesitos, foram os que apresentaram maior potencial para alterar o valor geral do índice. Adicionalmente, embora alguns domínios tenham tido vários indicadores com avaliações ruins (por exemplo, os domínios \"Modos Não-motorizados\" e Sistemas de Transporte Urbano\"), eles também concentraram um grande número de indicadores associados a ações viáveis. Isso parece indicar que esses indicadores podem ser facilmente melhorados, se estimulados por políticas adequadas. / Adaptations of the urban structure for encouraging trips by sustainable modes, as well as the selection and implementation of actions and policies with the same objective, are still challenges to technicians and urban managers. The Index of Sustainable Urban Mobility (I_SUM) was adopted here as the basis of a strategy to deal with those problems. Each one of the 87 indicators of I_SUM was evaluated by experts, who pointed out potential difficulties for the implementation of improvements. The evaluations provided elements for the development, application and analysis of the results of a scenario-based planning method. The goal of the method is the search of alternatives to adapt cities to the concept of sustainable urban mobility. The results obtained with the application in the city of São Carlos suggest that the method is a promising urban planning strategy, given that it can indicate several sets of practical actions with clear potential to conduct the city to the goal of sustainable mobility. That selection of actions was based on clear criteria, such as: implementation costs, time (in multiples of four years, in order to match the time available to the elected mayors), and the political risk of the proposed actions. The analyses of the outcomes led to the conclusion that the method is appropriate for urban planning purposes, given that it was consistent not only with the observed problems but also with the anticipated solutions to many of the urban mobility challenges. Also, indicators that simultaneously have an indirect influence on the generation of sustainable trips, and were associated to actions meeting all feasibility criteria, have shown a clear potential to change the overall index value. Furthermore, although some Domains have had several indicators with poor evaluations (e.g., the Domains Non-Motorized Modes and Urban Transport Systems), they also have concentrated a large number of indicators associated to feasible actions. It seems to indicate that these indicators could be easily improved, if stimulated by adequate policies.
