Budapest

Budapest main goal is to develop an integrated impact monitoring framework for shared mobility services in the SPROUT project.

The pilot will carry out a monitoring campaign to examine the impact of new shared mobility solutions (carsharing, bike-sharing, scooter sharing, personal EVs) that have recently emerged or currently being introduced, and assess their operational feasibility and sustainability. This will include an inventory of current and future data sources (e.g. vehicle and passenger kilometres, occupancy rate, spatial distribution of trips etc.), distribution of responsibilities in terms of data provision, data processing and analysis methodology (e.g. how to identify modal shift to shared modes), and ways to communicate this data to stakeholders (in textual and visual form) that can impact future policies (public and private actors). Based on the short-term campaign a framework will be developed to monitor these impacts in the long term to provide input for policy making. Specific attention will be paid to how new, emerging services can be incorporated into this framework.

Objectives of this pilot

• Assessment of the operational and policy impacts of shared passenger mobility (free-floating car- and dockless bike-sharing) in the city
• Policy recommendations to harness the impacts of shared passenger mobility through a coordinated data collection and communication framework
• Recommendation for improving the current urban mobility and land use planning & regulatory framework, by embedding the requirements of shared/cooperative passenger mobility business models
• Revised car-sharing strategy (originally developed in 2014, and requiring a revision due to changes in the urban environment).
