The Netherlands
• Over 17 million inhabitants• 20 million bicycles• 27% of all journeys by bike • 410 railway stations• 45% cycles to the train station
Bicycles per inhabitant• Netherlands 1.2• Denmark 0.8?• Sweden 0.7• Japan 0.6• USA 0.5• Canada 0.4• UK 0.4• China 0.4• France 0.3
ProRail Managing the rail infrastructure in the Netherlands
• 6500 km’s rail tracks• 410 railway stations• 6000 trains a day• 1,2 million travelers a day• 100.000 tons cargo a day
Including bicycle park facilities at all the 410 railway stations
Program Bicycle parking
• By ministry of Infrastructure & environment• Started in 1999• Improving the use of the bicycle to the train• Already realized: 450.000 places• Already spend: ca € 450 million• To go: 150.000 places• To go in €’s: € 300 million• Planninghorizon 2030
Railway stations are important for:• Public transport providers• Property developers• City authorities• Commercial to go formula’s
• And of course the travellers
1. on ground level
2. in multi-level bicycle flats
3. on roofs
4. in basements
5. under the tracks
Parking solutions
Why cycling (in the Netherlands)?
• Efficient• Fast• Healthy• Good for environment
• But most of all: Cheap!
What do Cyclists like?
The shortest and quickest route from A to B
A -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> B
Where do Cyclist want to park their bicycle?
The shortest and quickest way and as close by as
possible before reaching B
A -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> B
How do Cyclists want to park their bicycle?Fist off all:
• Quickly
• For free
Also (but less important for the most in the Netherlands):• Safe• Dry• In a pleasant setting
Only 15% of all the cyclists chose for pay parking (guarded)
1. close to the station and easily recognizable2. easily accessible3. easy to use bike racks4. overview and orientation5. direct walking route to the platforms6. friendly staff 7. clear rules for behavior8. strict enforcement of rules

Case study Amsterdam CS (Railwaystation)
2010-2015
Task: parking facilities for 22.000 bicycles in 2030
1. Distance bicycle parking-station2. Logical route3. Accessibility4. Image quality5. Fitting in station concept6. Safe (social and traffic)7. Complexity in construction8. Nuisance during construction9. Planning risks10. Total costs (investment, maintenance and operation)
Important aspects for choosing the best option
1. on ground level
2. in multi-level situations
3. on roofs
4. in basements
5. under the tracks

1. In public space, ground level? So not;
2. In a new or a existing building? So not;
3. Underground? So not;
4. ?????
Innovation/creative actions:
• Try to find creative and innovete solutions fora better use of public space in combinationwith good bicycle parkings
• 3 lab sessions with support of stakeholders (proffecionals & users) oktober/november 2014

workshops
“Orphan” bicycles (no owners known)
• 15-20% of all the parked bicycles• Occupy expensive space• Time- consuming and expensive to detect by hand
Detection and adress
• How to detect and find them automated?• And also to address the empty spots?• In combination with short term parking rules• and strict enforcement• 30% more empty spots
