How safe and comfortable are (bicycle) infrastructures? Ana how can they be assessed objectively? Salzburg Research investigated various methods, bicycle safety and comfort in road traffic can be reliably and meaningfully recorded and assessed with. Together with partners, Salzburg Research has tested various methods under real conditions, which can be used to identify problematic places in the infrastructure in the future. 24 voluntary cyclists in Vienna and Salzburg have recorded their cycling routes every day with different tools. The recording of the movement data took place with the smartphone, which detected the GPS position, acceleration, steering direction and inclination. With a helmet camera videos from the perspective of the cyclist were recorded. The time data recorded with the smartphone were analysed using specially developed algorithms. As a result, strong impacts and unevenness as […]

In addition, tourism, leisure and transit traffic contribute to the traffic load in the province. Bicycles as an important component in mobility management Cycling also plays an important role in holistic, multimodal mobility management and should therefore be made more attractive. The BikeQuality app developed by Salzburg Research for the data-based evaluation of the bicycle infrastructure has already been used to survey the ride quality within the city of Salzburg. The data was an important basis for prioritising construction and maintenance measures. Bicycle corridors into the city are being investigated Now the quality of the bicycle corridors Neumarkt-Salzburg, Freilassing-Salzburg as well as Bad Reichenhall-Salzburg will also be examined. For the first time, the ride quality of the most important cycling routes from the surrounding area into the city of Salzburg will be […]

  • Event: Collision warnings for cyclists: current research results

    […] Forum on Geoinformatics 2023 6 July 2023, 11:00-12:15 Salzburg, Austria Collision warnings for cyclists: Presentation and discussion of current research results from the Bike2CAV project. In recent years, the multidisciplinary consortium of the project has been intensively researching more safety for cyclists by means of cooperative detection of collision risks. For the first time, a proof-of-concept prototype (TRL 4) that warns Vulnerable Road Users of collision risks based on wireless communication between an automated vehicle (CAV), the infrastructure and the bicycle has been implemented and real-world tested in urban and rural areas. New technological developments in the field of vehicle communication (ITS-G5), bicycle sensor technology and environment perception were used in these real-life tests. In this forum, results from the research project Bike2CAV will be presented and discussed with the expert audience how this concept or other solutions in this area can be designed to reduce the risk of collision for cyclists and thus […]

  • Post: Smart charge management for electric bus fleets

    Together with partners, Salzburg Research is developing a unique charging management solution for large electric bus fleets that enables smart charging and takes into account both energy consumption and energy costs. Since December 2023, Albus has been operating Salzburg’s first fully electric bus lines with seven e-buses, with seven more e-buses to follow in 2024. However, the more e-buses in a fleet are in use, the more challenging loading management becomes. So far, telematics solutions, software for load management, and operational management have been run in parallel as individual components. The innovation in the new charging management is that, for the first time, all components are integrated into a holistic and comprehensive software solution and that energy consumption and energy costs are also taken into account. Energy- and demand-based charging of e-bus fleets is to be possible automatically. For this purpose, data inputs from different sources are smartly linked together: an optimized charging management […]

  • Event: DyMoN Webinar: Digitally-enabled behaviour change for sustainable mobility

    Dezember 7th 2023, 02:00-03:00 p.m. Online via Zoom When it comes to promoting sustainable mobility, local decision-makers (e.g. city representatives, transport planners and providers) have the choice between two options: “Hard measures”, like introducing new policies, infrastructure and bans, on their own are not always effective and cannot be implemented in every situation. Therefore, “soft measures”, behavioural interventions or “nudges” that operate without restrictions or bans, have risen to prominence as a viable complement to policy measures and to support mobility infrastructure usage. In this webinar, we are talking about soft measures in the form of digital tools that can help in changing mobility behaviour, like smartphone apps. You surely have encountered this concept before – are you wearing a smartwatch right now or do you have a smartphone app that helps you with physical activity? Then you have a first understanding of digitally enabled behaviour change! We can transfer this idea to mobility. […]

  • Projekt: CarSense

    […] proposes a system architecture for seamless integration of vehicle-originated sensor data into the ASFINAG system landscape. Being equipped with 80 to 100 sensors, modern vehicles offer enormous potential for different use cases in the context of intelligent transport systems. Commercial services al-ready gain sensor information from vehicles for detecting delays in travel times or adapting routes to the current traffic situation. The goal of the CarSense project is to raise the potential of vehicle-originated sensor information for infrastructure operators. Effective and efficient operation and maintenance of infrastructure raises a high demand foroperators to continuously collect qualitative and quantitative information on the status of thespatially distributed road infrastructure. Until now, data collection, if automated, is done with road side sensor units as well as controlled test runs of measurement vehicles. Beside high costs for acquisition, operation and maintenance of measurement equipment, measurements are commonly bound to single positions or single time periods. The CarSense project […]

  • Post: Sustainable commuting: Improving cycling corridors with digital data

    […] was collected Trained test riders examined the bicycle corridors on predefined routes with a total length of 153 kilometres through targeted, repeated rides. Commercially available e-bikes with a defined tyre pressure of 4.5 bar and a rigid fork were used. A smartphone mounted on the handlebars recorded the vibrations along the route using the BikeQuality app from Salzburg Research. Data on 204 tracks and 804 kilometres ridden were recorded with the BikeQuality app and evaluated by a cloud-based mobility data analysis service from Salzburg Research. Based on the shocks, the ride quality was evaluated in a ten-metre grid on the basis of a four-level scale – comfortable, rideable, poor and very poor – and visualised on a map. Light, medium and strong impacts along the corridors were also determined. “The results are encouraging: more than 60 percent of the surveyed cycling corridors into the city of Salzburg have a comfortable surface quality. Of the […]
