Transferring mobility management practices.

From study visits to transferability studies.

A step by step guide.

This guide aims in providing step by step help in:

- evaluating the most suitable best practice

- organising a successful study visit and

- configuring the necessary planning for the implementation.

What is Mmoveability?

Mmoveability is the ability to Manage Mobility Over Europe learning from the way Mmove

partners did.

The basic idea behind this MMove way is that Mobility Management is a bidirectional

road that a decision maker should travel:

Study visit the proposed Best Practices and then back with a Transferability Study to

implement it home.

How to evaluate different Best Practices. Which one is best for my city?

> Evaluation: the outcome of a process that appraises the advantages and dis-

advantages of alternatives.

> Evaluation Process: the process involving the identification of criteria,

rating of predicted impacts, assignment of weights to criteria, and aggrega-

tion of weights, rates and criteria to produce an ordering of alternatives.

There are two ways to evaluate Best Practices. Scientific and Social.

You can chose one of the two or you can do both with the same or different

weight.

Ask the people

Make a survey between the originally chosen most suitable Best Practices.

Surveys may be comprehensive (external surveying companies) or simple.

Different methods of surveying may be selected:

- Municipality website poll

- Social media

- Roadside or public space interviews

- Home interviews

- Mail questionnaires

SOCIAL



Basic procedure tips for a simple survey:

A. Inform before you ask:

- Present all available options (Best Practices to be selected)

- Provide equal amount of information for every Best Practice- Demonstrate aims of proposed Best Practices in a simple and clear way

- Explain who can benefit from every Best Practice

- Provide comprehensive summary of each Best Practice (methodology and

actions)

- Provide demonstrative pictures

- Provide basic cost information (preferably it should be equal for all

Best Practices)

B. Design a basic survey:

- Define a sampling frame (population, distribution, frame)

- Various sample size calculators are available in the Internet

- Determine questions to be asked regarding Best Practice choice

- Determine other questions to be asked

C. Survey questions :

- Demographics (age, sex, education and income level)

- Car and bicycle ownership

- Means of travel to work/school

- Best Practice choice and reason

tives.

There are two ways to evaluate Best Practices. Scientific and Social.

You can chose one of the two or you can do both with the same or different

weight.

Multi criteria analysis.

Perform a multi criteria analysis evaluating each Best Practice for the following

criteria.

Each criterion has different weight in the evaluation.

Criterion(a): Explicit feature or consideration used for comparison of alterna-tives.

Weight The importance attributed to criterion relative to other criterion. The

value of the weight is expressed in a percentage and the sum of all criterion

weights is equal to 100%.

Weighting each criterion depends on different urban and mobility factors of the

city to be implemented and can be different than those proposed on the score sheet

bellow:



High Average Low Weight Score

A1. Covering transportation demand

(especially where needed)

A2. Improving accessibility.

(the ability and ease of reaching destinations)

A3. Improving mobility.

(the ability to move in general)

A4. Annoyance – Disturbance

(caused to environment or people)

B1. Installation cost

B2. Operational cost

B3. Maintenance cost

B4. Profit

B5. Indirect profit

C1. Spatial characteristics

(compatibility of urban context with proposed

Best Practice)

C2. Existing infrastructure network

(condition and supply in the proposed area)

C3. Public and private space

(sufficiency of public space, availability and

cost of private space needed for implementation)

STUDY VISITSTEP

The value of a study visit. Why is it helpful?

- Meet the people behind the Best Practices – learn from them – it’s easier

- Find out the details

- Observe Best Practice live

- Acknowledge unique conditions- Find out lessons learned from the implementation

- Communicate with people

- Collect feedback

- Get user responses

- Create a new or take part on an existing network with other cities

- It is cost effective.

How to organize an effective study visit

> Pre study visit check list

Who to contact?

Some municipalities in Europe like Stockholm in Sweden have organised

study visit programmes. Others that don’t will be happy to organise

something if you request it.

What to ask?

Make sure that all the questions regarding the Best Practice and its

implementation are recorded before the study visit.

When to go?

Some Best Practices are best visited for study during specific part of

the year or on specific dates due to seasonality or peak hour unique

conditions.



What to see?

Every Best Practice has different aspects in its implementation. For

example transportation systems often have maintenance facilities. Make

sure you visit the ones that are most important.

Who to see?

Often besides municipality technical stuff other people are involved

in a successful Best Practice. Public transportation officials, poli-

ticians, support groups, journalists can give you extra information on

the Best Practice visited.

> During the study visit

- Talk to people

- Ask questions- Keep notes

- Take pictures

- Record video

- Live the experience

> After the study visit

- Write a small report

- Conclude

- Search bibliography and other resources

> Feasibility: the state or degree of being easily or conveniently done.

> Feasibility Study: analysis and evaluation of a proposed project to determine if it

(1) is technically feasible,

(2) is feasible within the estimated cost, and

(3) will be profitable.

Project Feasibility Study is an exercise that involves documenting each of the poten-

tial solutions to a particular business problem or opportunity.

When to use a Feasibility Study?

The purpose of a Feasibility Study is to identify the likelihood of one or more solu-

tions meeting the stated project requirements.

The outcome of the Feasibility Study is a confirmed solution for implementation.

> Tranferability: the quality of being transferable or exchangeable

> Transferability Study: a feasibility study of a transfer of an idea or proj-

ect to other context or settings

Term most commonly used in medical research

Project Transferability Study is an exercise that involves documenting the as-

pects of the proposed idea to be transferred.

When to use a Feasibility Study?

The purpose of a Transferability Study is to identify the specific context and

settings that must apply to the transfer of an idea or project in order to

achieve the goals set.

The outcome of the Transferability Study is a set of proposals and suggestions

– A “road map”.

The outcome of the Feasibility Study is a confirmed solution for implementa-

tion.

> Implementation: the realization of an application, or execution of a plan,

idea, model, design, specification, standard, algorithm, or policy.

> Transferability Plan: a detailed listing of designs, activities, costs,

expected difficulties, and schedules that are required to realize an idea or

proposed project.

When to use an Implementation Plan?

The purpose of an Implementation Plan is to provide accurate and detailed

information on projects that are more complicated and demand the involvement

of various people, crafts, technicians, techniques, etch

The outcome of the Implementation Study is a set of designs, cost estima-

tions, guidelines, and procedures.
