Lyon area mobility backgroundImportant and recurrent traffic congestions

• 220 00 entering each day in the conurbation, transport accounts for 30% of CO2 emissions

• 4 millions of travels/day : occupancy rate for H/W =1 • 58% of travels made by car are < 3 km

A high level of infrastructures : 180 km of highways, 2700 km of urban roads, 400 km of bike paths, 71 km of metro/trams lines, 1250 km of bus routes, 33 train stations

Modal sharesNb of travels Km

Lyon area mobility backgroundDespite the huge investments made in PT (> 1 billion of euros) the modal share of car has slowly decrease during the last decade (-4%)

New services operative or in project: Vélov (50 000 subscribers), car sharing, car pooling,

• Increase of bike modal share (around 3% today), high potential demonstrated

Information available on almost all modes, with good quality• We have access to this information • But we have few services based on real time or historical

data, and still have a monomodal and fragmented approach

Today Urban Mobility Public Policy

• Ensure accessibility of the towns and their economic development, ease the move of persons and goods,

• Reduce environmental and socio-economical impacts of transport

• Re-conquer public space from private car use to eco-friendly modes and urban planning

3 main goals for Urban Public authorities

The big shift

Operate the infrastructures: • After decades of investments in infrastructure, stakeholders

has started in the 1980s to build traffic control centres for operating the infrastructures, using ICT

Connect the networks: • In the 1990s, the concept of Multimodality / intermodality

(and afterwards Comodality) were started to be implemented but still with an infrastructure approach (intermodal nodes)

• Now, intermodality is been implemented through ITS with two major technology and business gaps

• Free access to the GPS signal (and coming Galileo) with associated booming of digital maps services

• The boom of SmartPhones and mobile internet access associating GSM and GPS technologies available for everyone at a very reasonable price today

In synthesis

Massive (and necessary) investments in new transport infrastructures in the past decades, but limited impactson the modal share of private car use

Building new infrastructures takes time, money, and is more and more complex

Solutions based on new tools connecting the different networks and optimizing the transport systems as a whole, - such as Multimodal information services, integrated multimodal management systems - are promising to address the urban mobility policy objectives

In Lyon, 1% of modal shift from private car to other modes = 24 000 CO2 t/year, with a smoother traffic and better air quality

Environmental cost/benefit ratios for 1% of modal shift, with a 20 € per t CO2 (cf national CO2 stock exchange rate) :

• Soft mode plan (500 km of bike paths) : 400 Euros / t CO2 saved

• PT infrastructure: 17 000 Euros / t CO2 saved

• Car-pooling : 100 Euros / t CO2 saved

• Building Thermal isolation: 50 Euros / t CO2 saved

• Mobility Information Centre: 12 Euros / t CO2 saved

Cost/benefit ratio – 1st approach

Optimod’Lyon project Objectives

Improve mobility of people and freight in an urban context with very high levelinformation services and trafficmanagement, using ITS

Support local and national companies on the domain of intelligent mobility (ITS).

Provide incentive and tools for modal shift by adapting current mobility habits throughinformation

Key points

Quality of traveller information service: do it wellor don’t do it at all!

• Focus on data quality, responsive tools, ergonomy / MMI• Development of ITS that fit to urban context

Economical Challenges• From services based on public funding, to partially or totally

users financed

Cooperative ChallengeOptimal cooperation between public and private stakeholders:• Public sector, in charge of mobility policy and general

interest, to provide high quality data to services providers

• Private sector in charge of developping technologies for mobility information services, compliant with urbanmobility public policy, and enriching public data sets
