1 Introduction

The overall aim of measure “A1.3 Sustainable university traffic” within the EC-co-funded

CIVITAS DYN@MO project is the implementation of a sustainable mobility plan for the

RWTH Aachen University and FH Aachen areas.

For the new university campus areas (Melaten and West), the integration of mobility

management into the site development is a main focus of work. To support site developers

and companies, an advisory service will be implemented by developing and offering a

handbook concerning the implementation of mobility management measures and especially

with individual consultation. Companies moving to the area will have the opportunity to take

part in implementing infrastructure measures and contribute to a more sustainable traffic.

Furthermore, the RWTH Aachen set up an intermodal, web-based information and guidance

system for better mobility and accessibility of the university area. This system includes

mobility information points in the university areas. In addition, the system will be connected to

the system of the Aachen Transport Association (AVV) developed in DYN@MO measure

“A3.1 Mobility Alliance”.

For the campus areas of FH Aachen, a mobility management concept is being developed.

The focus is on implementing mobility management measures (including a pedelec rental

system and business trip management).

This comprehensive approach and joint effort of mobility and planning with stakeholders will

ensure a better air quality within this new area (and beyond), and that students, employees,

and visitors are encouraged to use alternative transport modes. Furthermore, there will be

fewer motorized trips within the new area, between the three Aachen campuses, and for

commuting, which in turn means that less car parking will be required by land developers

(and employees and students).

The activities mentioned above constitute only a selection of the universities’ mobility

concepts. This report gives an extensive insight into the measures that were developed and

implemented (or are about to be implemented) within measure “A1.3 Sustainable university

traffic” of the CIVITAS DYN@MO project. The key objectives and tasks of the measure

according to the project’s Description of Work are:

Development of a sustainable mobility plan for the new education, research and

business campus: good air quality, extensive use of alternative transport modes, less

car usage and less parking space for private cars

Involvement of stakeholders in local mobility into the process of developing and

implementing the mobility plan for this new campus

Identification of prerequisites encouraging the use of clean vehicles (pedelecs,

electric cars, segways, etc.) for the new campus

Implementation of tangible measures of the clean air plan and sustainable transport

plan for the University areas

Creation of an advisory service for land developers


5 / 70

First of all this report describes the mobility concepts of FH and RWTH Aachen, covering

also previous developments to show the background and preconditions for both locations.

Against this background, the topic “electric mobility” is discussed as well since it poses a

cross-sectoral challenge in the CIVITAS DYN@MO project.

A stakeholder analysis is then presented which was conducted at the beginning of the project

to define the tasks and responsibilities in this CIVITAS measure. In addition, the main results

of the mobility surveys and other qualitative surveys are presented and referred to multiple

times throughout this report.

Furthermore, the mobility management measures which were developed and implemented

during the project in close cooperation with the project partners and others are described.

These primarily include measures for public transport, cycling, and motorized private

transport, which can be assigned both to push and pull factors. This means that measures

were chosen and taken which both give incentives to switch to environmentally friendly

transport modes and make individual private transport less attractive. Combined with

infrastructure measures, the universities try to influence the mobility behaviour of its

employees, students, and visitors. These efforts shall lead to a more environmentally

friendly, sustainable university traffic.

In addition to the universities’ mobility concepts, selected external factors are described

which are closely linked to the measure and have influenced its implementation considerably.

2 Background

2.1 Transport and mobility concepts of FH Aachen and RWTH Aachen University

Universities and other institutions of higher education often constitute one of the largest

traffic generators in cities and regions. Ensuring accessibility for students, employees and

visitors is essential. In addition, mobility needs that result from internal logistics must be

taken into account.

Due to multiple developments, the number of students has grown considerably at many

universities in recent years. Roughly 2.8 million students were enrolled in German

universities in the 2015/16 winter semester1. At the same time, German universities

employed about 675,000 people, which means that more than three million people travel to

university locations almost daily to study or to work2. Through their students’ and employees’

mobility, universities have a considerable influence on the traffic situation in their regions.

Against this background and with the intention to reduce environmental stress caused by

motorized private transport, the goals must be to handle the necessary traffic in an as

environmentally friendly way as possible, to use existing infrastructure at optimal capacity,

and to limit possible infrastructure expansions to the necessary level.

2.1.1 RWTH Aachen University

RWTH Aachen University is the largest employer in the region and therefore a major traffic

generator.

The expansion of the university in the Campus Melaten and Campus West areas, plans for

restructuring and densification on the inner-city campus, and the additional traffic resulting

therefrom make it necessary to consider the topic of mobility at the university in an integrated

approach of transport infrastructure planning and transport and mobility management. On

Campus Melaten, eleven new research clusters are being set up on an area of 500,000 m².

Six research clusters are already being implemented as “starting clusters” for Campus

Melaten. The new university area, a greenfield project, is expected to provide up to 10,000

new jobs. In addition, the introduction of an innovative mobility concept and the use of

innovative transport modes is meant to support and communicate the image of RWTH as an

excellent university. With various mobility management measures, the university hopes to

make a contribution to air pollution control and thus to a sustainable development of the City

of Aachen.

It is important not to ignore urban planning concerns in this context. Streets crowded with

parked cars instead of generous public spaces and the quality of the signposting are

important factors influencing the attractiveness of a given location. In addition, congestion

occurred in some parts of the road network and on some public transport routes, especially

during rush hour.

7 / 70

An integrated transport and mobility concept for the entire university area which takes the

different locations, the needs of the target groups, and the fields of action in infrastructure

and organization into account must consist of components and include measures for

influencing mobility and transport behaviour. For an efficient development, a coordinated

combination of ‘hard’ infrastructure measures and ‘soft’ mobility management measures (e.g.

job ticket, information and consultation, facilitating carpooling) is required. Only then can the

infrastructure be used to its full potential and costs and space for new facilities be saved.

A sustainable mobility concept for the university

In September 2008, the rectorate of the RWTH Aachen University tasked the Institute of

Urban and Transport Planning (ISB) with developing a “Master Plan Mobility” for the

university. This sustainable mobility concept, which includes target group specific measures

and was developed in two phases, primarily pursues the goals of mobility management.

Figure 1: Master Plan Mobility of RWTH Aachen University

Source: Institute of Urban and Transport Planning


8 / 70

Phase 1 was completed in 2009 and constitutes the basis of the mobility concept. In this

phase, a status analysis was conducted which showed the general transport situation at the

university. On this basis, some initial areas requiring action were pointed out.

The second phase (2010) covered each component (public transport, cycling, etc.) in-depth

and concrete measures were developed. The concept is subdivided into six fields of action

and includes target group specific measures for the employees, visitors/customers, students,

and logistics (see Figure 1), which do not focus on expanding transport infrastructure

measures but primarily pursue the goals of mobility management. In addition to the job ticket

and the parking space management, the bicycle infrastructure was gradually improved.

Some measures are still in development or have not yet been implemented completely.

Among others, this includes a mobility management for investors, a pedelec rental system,

and the further expansion of electric mobility. For several years, students of the university

have had a semester ticket which allows them to use all modes of local public transport

throughout North Rhine-Westphalia at any time.

2.1.2 Mobility management concept for FH Aachen University of Applied

Sciences

A mobility management concept improved the sustainability of urban traffic and optimised the

mobility behaviour of the citizens. The FH Aachen is an institution with approximately 1,300

employees and 13,000 students. The high amount of people caused a high appearance of

traffic. In that case, the FH Aachen wanted to contribute to environment, climate and health

protection through the implementation of an own mobility management concept.

The mobility management concept had been a three step process:

1. The baseline analysis, a special evaluation programme that analysed each of the

sites of the FH Aachen, was conducted. All locations at Bayernallee/Kalverbenden,

Eupener Straße, Goethestraße, Hohenstaufenallee and Boxgraben/Stephanstraße

had their individual requirements and circumstances.

2. Within the framework of the mobility management concept, the target groups were

defined and the objectives determined. Based on the evaluation data, a list of

measures were deduced and put into an order of priority. A special focus was on

electromobility by integrating new clean vehicle (pedelecs, electric carsharing) and

convincing employees to use such modes for business trips via promotion material

(fact sheets).

3. Therefore, an integrated mobility station was constructed, an information system/

platform for e.g. commuters was implemented and the processes of the internal

business travel management were optimised.

2.1.3 Electric mobility at FH Aachen and RWTH Aachen University

FH and RWTH Aachen’s mobility concepts include a variety of target group specific mobility

management measures promoting sustainable mobility.

The first Master Plan Mobility of RWTH Aachen University (2009) already pointed out that the

use of electric vehicles of all kinds needed to be pushed in the future. The plan was to create


9 / 70

the necessary conditions for this early on, both in terms of infrastructure and conceptually. In

addition to using electric vehicles, which could be provided in central locations both for

internal use (logistics) and for visitors, setting up a public pedelec rental system for the City

of Aachen was suggested.

Numerous measures have already been developed and partially implemented as part of the

CIVITAS DYN@MO project, in which electric mobility is considered a cross-sectoral task for

all work packages.

The pedelec rental system is currently (March 2016) not in public operation yet, but the first

two stations have already been completed. It will allow many students and employees of the

universities, but also all other citizens and visitors of the city, to use an electric vehicle. Due

to Aachen’s relatively hilly topography, it makes sense having a bike rental system which

offers pedelecs.

Carsharing is another field that has come to bank on electric mobility in recent years. The

carsharing stations that are being set up for the CIVITAS project at FH and RWTH Aachen

will therefore be equipped with electric vehicles as well as conventional ones (Campus

Melaten and FH Aachen Bayernallee).

Figure 2: Carsharing with electric and conventional vehicles at RWTH Aachen University


The necessary infrastructure is provided by STAWAG. The local energy provider installed the

charging poles for the carsharing company’s electric vehicles. These charging stations offer

both a charging pole for carsharing vehicles and a public one as well as a parking spot.

Furthermore, RWTH Aachen University owns 31 electric cars and six electric scooters which

are used for various purposes (as of 3 December 2015). There are currently 14 charging

poles at RWTH Aachen University with a capacity of 24 vehicles.


10 / 70

At FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences first measures in relation to electromobility

were implemented: A charging point at FH Eupener Straße was set up by STAWAG; a

second charging point was planned as an extension of the first existing mobility station at FH

Bayernallee. With the help of a charging point, it would be possible to extend the existing

carsharing station with a second, full electric car. The station at Bayernallee would be

finalised by the integration of an electric bike sharing scheme. All contracts between relevant

stakeholders (BLB NRW – Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen,

FH Aachen, STAWAG, cambio Aachen and Velocity Aachen) had been signed.

Some more considerations and planning were made on a charging point at new “competence

centre of mobility” at the FH site in Hohenstaufenallee. The charging infrastructure would be

located on BLB NRW property and may be used in terms of future research and

demonstration projects.

3 Basics

3.1 Stakeholder analysis

Figure 3: Stakeholder Analysis

Source: Institute of Urban and Transport Planning (2013)

The main objective of this measure is the implementation of a sustainable, environmentally

friendly university traffic. The following participants are involved:

Department 63 (construction supervision) of the City of Aachen – conducting the

development of the new University Campus areas (Melaten, West) – is involved in the

CIVITAS DYN@MO project. The City of Aachen will support investors of the new campus

thereby minimizing the number of parking spaces by non-comprehensive reduction factors.

Department 61 (urban development and traffic facilities) of the City of Aachen is responsible

for setting up and providing pedelec rental stations (two on the campus of RWTH Aachen

University and one on the campus of FH Aachen). In addition, Department 61 is responsible

for zoning the new University Campus areas and evaluating the content of the innovative

mobility management measures.

The Campus GmbH is responsible for the project management within the context of the

university expansion. Therefore, the Campus GmbH is in contact with investors and

operators by informing them about the mobility management measures and by supporting


12 / 70

them in terms of funding and realization. In addition to that, the Campus GmbH chairs

meetings and workshops.

The local carsharing company Cambio is setting up carsharing stations on the new University

Campus. At this station, hybrid and/or electric cars will be available which enables an

environmentally friendly business trip management. The STAWAG supports Cambio by

installing a charging station for electric cars.

The Chair of Transportation of FH Aachen is working out a mobility management concept for

the FH including parking space management and the introduction of a job ticket. Additionally,

the Chair of Transportation works on the evaluation concept for measure A1.3 in

collaboration with the RWTH’s Institute of Urban Planning and Transport (ISB).

The ISB of RWTH Aachen University is the measure leader and therefore coordinates all

tasks. Analogous to the FH Aachen University, the ISB is working out a mobility management

concept for RWTH Aachen University. In addition, the ISB is also working on a mobility

management handbook for site developers. Moreover, the ISB is supporting the Campus

GmbH in the implementation of the mobility management measures of the new University

Campus.

Department 10.0 of RWTH Aachen University, Facility Management, manages the

implementation of the RWTH-internal routing system in collaboration with various chairs of

the Faculty of Computer Science.

BLB NRW (Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen) owns almost all

properties of the federal state and rents its buildings to regional authorities and institutions,

including RWTH Aachen University. BLB is an important actor in the CIVITAS DYN@MO

project when it comes to developments in infrastructure and building at the university. The

institution is particularly involved in all concerns of planning and development surrounding

the parking space concept of the university.

3.2 Basic data on mobility


Mobility survey 2010

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of measures, it makes sense to gather basic data on

mobility.

Prior to the implementation of the measures from the Master Plan Mobility developed in

2009, a mobility survey was conducted among the employees of RWTH Aachen University in

2010 (see Annex 1; in German). This survey was meant to generate interest in a job ticket for

public transport and to provide a basis of data for the evaluation of the mobility management

measures. The Institute of Urban and Transport Planning developed a written mobility survey

to gauge the employees’ interest in a job ticket, a parking permit, or a combined ticket (job

ticket and parking permit). Employees were also asked which transport mode they primarily

used for their trip to work and which transport mode they would like to use following the

introduction of parking space management and a job ticket.


13 / 70

So as to already consider the employees’ needs in the development of the public transport

measures, participants were given the opportunity to suggest improvements for public

transport (bus and rail). Based on this data, the public transport offers were already improved

before the job ticket was introduced.

In addition to sociodemographic data (e.g. age and gender), participants were asked to state

their place of residence and place of work as these factors have a decisive influence on the

employees’ mobility behaviour.

In total, 3,324 of the roughly 7,800 employees contacted participated in the survey (43%).

About 2,300 questionnaires could be evaluated completely. The survey was representative in

terms of the places of residence, gender, and employment of the employees.

Regarding modal split, the results of the mobility survey show that more than half of the

employees (58%) took a car to work, either as driver or passenger. About a fifth (19%) used

public transport in 2010 and about one quarter (23%) of the employees walked or rode a

bicycle to work (see Figure 4).

More than two thirds of the participants were interested in a combined ticket for €18.90 which

would include both a job ticket and a parking permit. A fifth of these wanted the option of a

transferable public transport ticket despite a price increase of €5.90. In addition, the question

about the employees’ intended future choice of transport mode for their commute uncovered

a great potential for change: 13% of the participants could imagine to forego their car and

instead switch to public transport, which means that the public transport share could increase

from 19% to 32% following the implementation of the measures. The ISB thereupon

recommended that the university should introduce a combined ticket as this could lead to a

substantial shift from motorized private transport to more environmentally friendly transport

modes.

Mobility survey 2013

As part of CIVITAS DYN@MO measure “A1.3 Sustainable university traffic”, another mobility

survey (see Annex 2; in German) was conducted among the employees of the university in

autumn 2013 in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented mobility management

measures. 2,612 of the 8,494 employees participated in the online survey (31%).

The online survey was a survey among all employees (including PhD students). Since all

employees of RWTH Aachen University have a university email address and access to a

computer connected to the internet, they were invited to participate in the survey via email.

The online survey was divided into five sections. In the first section, employees were asked

about their mobility behaviour on their trip to work. The second chapter covered questions

surrounding public transport, especially on the job ticket of the university. The third section

evaluated motorized private transport including parking space management. The two final

sections covered the employment and sociodemographic aspects.

The evaluation focused on determining the modal split. When comparing the modal split data

from 2010 and 2013, a clear shift from motorized private transport to public transport can be

observed (see Figure 4). The share of motorized private transport (driver and passenger)

sank from 58% to 46%. The share of public transport as the main transport mode increased


14 / 70

from 19% to 33%. This means that more than half of the employees use environmentally

friendly transport modes for their trip to work. Differentiated by the place of residence, almost

two thirds of the employees living in the City of Aachen use environmentally friendly transport

modes. In addition, the evaluation shows that the public transport share in the surrounding

towns and municipalities connected to Aachen by rail is higher than in those without a rail

connection.

Figure 4: Employees’ use of transport modes in 2010 and 2013

Source: Institute of Urban and Transport Planning (2010 and 2013)

Moreover, the results of the survey show that more than half of the employees (57%) own a

public transport season ticket. About a quarter of the participants could also imagine

carpooling as an option. In early 2015, the university therefore joined the public carpooling

portal “Pendlerportal” (commuter portal) and set up its own integrated platform for its

employees and students (see Chapter 4.4.1).

Impact and effects of the mobility management measures

By implementing the mobility management measures described, the number of car trips and

commuter mileage could be reduced considerably. Projections show that 3.65 million car km

per year were saved compared to 2010. This means that ca. 705 tons of CO2 were saved per

year.


15 / 70

These successes can also be seen on site: Use of the largest car park of the university,

which was expanded in 2009, has shrunk continuously since the mobility management

measures were adopted, and is currently at 40% capacity (see Chapter 4.2.1). In addition,

there has been a considerable increase in the number of passengers on the bus and rail

lines accessing the campuses.

The evaluation of the implemented mobility measures shows that introducing the job ticket

and the parking space management simultaneously has led to a change in the choice of

transport modes among the university’s employees. By restricting motorized private transport

and making public transport more attractive, many employees were motivated to make the

shift to environmentally friendly transport modes.

3.2.2 Mobility survey at FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

In October/November 2014, a survey took place among all employees of FH Aachen

University of Applied Sciences with questions about their mobility and modal choice

behaviour (see Annex 3; in German). Round about 1,300 persons had been addressed and

524 people (approximately 40%) responded to the questionnaire. For the first time ever,

important information about mobility needs of employees could be collected, which could be

used as a basis for further planning in the context of mobility management at FH Aachen.

The questions were asked in a way that estimations of potential for the introduction of a job

ticket, joining a carpool portal and conducting business trips with new, sustainable transport

modes were possible.

Furthermore, the personal attitudes and assessments on the topics “public transport” (bus

and train) and “parking”, each aggregated over all sites of FH Aachen, were evaluated. The

themes were:

General characteristics for mobility and modal choice behaviour

Carpooling

Parking

Public transport

Public transport ticket for employees (“job ticket”)

Business trips

The following graphs (Figure 5 to Figure 7) provide a summary of the results of the

questionnaire and give insights about the diversity of topics, as mentioned above.

All figures have been extrapolated to all sites.

The employees at FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences have been asked, what

transport mode they used for travel to work. Approx. 60% used the car (as driver or

passenger) for their daily travel to work. Public transport with a contribution of 15%, cycling

14% and walking with some 9% together make up the other 40% of the modal split.


16 / 70

Source: FH Aachen (2014)

The respondents should classify the parking at their work place. The subjective opinion

obviously differed much between the different FH sites. Whereas Eupener Straße and the FH

Site in Jülich got positive feedback, many sites had a satisfactory assessment like Robert-

Schuman-Str., Hohenstaufenallee, Aachener-Münchner-Allee and Bayernallee. Bad results

for Goethestraße, Boxgraben and Stephanstraße were justifiable with a lack of existing

parking space in close surroundings to the buildings.

Those employees that used public transport had assessed the quality in relation to the

amount of buses (offers) on the one hand and the timetable satisfaction on the other hand.

The possible ratings were provided from very good (dark green) to inadequate (red). The

people behind the grey contributions (“did not reply”) did not use PT and consequently were

not able to assess the public transport in its quality.

3.3 Focus groups


In early 2016, the Institute of Urban and Transport Planning conducted focus groups on

“Mobility at RWTH Aachen University” with students and employees of the university who

participated in separate guided discussions on the topics “Public transport and carpooling”

and “Walking and cycling”. Furthermore, all groups discussed “Mobility offers and information

at RWTH Aachen University”.

The goal of the focus groups was to determine the demands of the two main target groups

regarding mobility information and offers at the university. In addition, the existing offers (e.g.

for cycling or public transport) are to be improved based on the suggestions and wishes of

the participants and adapted to their needs. The results of the focus groups constitute a

basis for the university’s new mobility plan.

The participants of the focus groups were acquired via an email distribution list that was

compiled for previous mobility surveys at the university. In these surveys, participants were

asked whether they would be available for other mobility surveys or other events (such as

workshops and focus groups) and could be contacted. A total of 642 employees and

students were invited to the four focus groups in January 2016. 75 people immediately

responded that they were interested in shaping the future mobility at their university.

Shopping vouchers were offered as incentives for participation. Finally, 40 participants (20

students and 20 employees) were selected for the events.

Figure 8: Focus groups with employees of RWTH Aachen University


Participants were assigned to a main topic of the focus groups based on their use of

transport modes which they had stated in previous mobility surveys. Users of certain

transport modes and non-users were distributed evenly among the groups so as to ensure

that both the opinions and demands of the users and the non-users of the respective

transport modes were represented.

The results of the focus groups are currently being processed. They will be integrated into

the development of the sustainable mobility plan for RWTH Aachen University that is

currently under construction and will be finished by the end of 2016. In the short term, the

information gathered in the discussions will be incorporated into the development of the

mobility portal (Chapter7.1.1) and the mobility brochure (Chapter.7.1.2).

4 Motorized private transport

One of the most important goals of Aachen’s universities when it comes to mobility is to

avoid and reduce motorized private transport while simultaneously promoting

environmentally friendly transport modes.

A comparison of the results of the mobility surveys of 2010 and 2013 shows that mobility

management can lead to a shift in the choice of transport modes among employees. By

restricting motorized private transport and making public transport more attractive, many

employees were led to choose more environmentally friendly transport modes while the

share of car trips decreased significantly.

4.1 Transport development Campus Hörn (RWTH Aachen)

The mobility committee of the City of Aachen decided in 2009 to monitor the transport

developments on Campus Hörn closely in order to be able to respond quickly to a possible

increase in traffic volume due to the expansions on Campus Melaten nearby.

Figure 9: Traffic counting system Campus Hörn


Therefore, seven fixed traffic counters were installed on Campus Hörn (see M1 to M7 in

Figure 5) and have been in operation since September 2009. For this purpose, radars were

set up at the side of the road to continuously record the traffic volume. The gathered data is

meant to indicate a possible increase in traffic in the residential areas in Hörn. Threshold

values for the average daily traffic were defined which should not be exceeded following the


20 / 70

developments on the neighbouring Campus Melaten. Countermeasures were developed in

case the threshold values were exceeded.

The Institute of Urban and Transport Planning is responsible for gathering data from the

radars and evaluating the data. In addition, the data is published on the institute’s website so

that it is available to the residents of Hörn and all other interested parties.

Figure 10: Average daily traffic (ADT) at Campus Hörn (02/2010 - 01/2015)


Figure 10 shows the development of average daily traffic and clearly indicates that, since

early 2011, traffic has increased considerably, particularly at traffic counter 2. At this counter

(Halifaxstraße), the set threshold value of 7,372 vehicles/day has been exceeded since early

2015.

On Seffenter Weg (TC1), the main connection between the inner city of Aachen and Campus

Melaten for individual transport, the traffic volume only increased slightly. Average daily

traffic there is only slightly higher than it was in 2009 when traffic was first recorded. The

threshold value is only exceeded slightly and infrequently over short periods of time.

Traffic counter 3 (TC3, Ahornstraße) is the third location for which a threshold value was

defined at the time. On Ahornstraße, the traffic volume has even decreased in recent years.

This may, however, be due to bus lines being rerouted to go via Mies-van-der-Rohe-Straße,

the road running parallel to Ahornstraße, in 2014 (see Figure 10). On Mies-van-der-Rohe-

Straße (TC4), traffic has therefore increased continuously in recent years.

At the other three traffic counters, there have been no notable developments. At the counters

5 (Melatener Str.) and 7 (Valkenburger Str., the traffic volume decreased marginally while it

increased slightly at traffic counter 6 (Muffeter Weg). The lower traffic volume on

Valkenburger Straße can also be traced back to the redevelopment of the roundabout

Pariser Ring/Valkenburger Straße for motorized transport, since which the road has no

longer been connected to the Pariser Ring and the Kullenhofstraße.

4.2 Stationary traffic

4.2.1 Parking space analyses at RWTH Aachen University

As part of DYN@MO measure “A1.3 Sustainable university traffic”, the Institute of Urban and

Transport Planning regularly conducts parking space analyses in order to evaluate the

effects of the numerous measures (job tickets, commuter portal, adapting prices in parking

space management, etc.). For this purpose, four larger parking lots and car parks that are

managed and supervised by the university were selected (see Figure 11).

Figure 11: Parking garages and parking lots at RWTH Aachen University


The “Seminargebäude” parking lot is situated on the central campus between the Audimax,

the Seminargebäude, the SuperC, and the main building of the university. The car park on

Professor-Pirlet-Str. is on Campus Hörn near Aachen West train station. This car park was

expanded in 2009 by 600 parking spaces, resulting in a total of 1,300 parking spaces for

students and employees of the university and making it Aachen’s largest car park. The BLB


22 / 70

NRW invested about six million Euros in the expansion of the car park, which now has 14

stories. The parking lot “Informatik” is also situated on Campus Hörn and offers 169 parking

spaces, making it the smallest parking area considered in the parking space analysis. Since

fall 2014, the Melaten car park, located between Campus-Boulevard and Forckenbeckstraße,

has offered over 800 parking spots on 15 split-level stories. The new building was

constructed by the Aachen branch of the BLB NRW. The BLB NRW invested about nine

million Euros in the infrastructure expansion in Campus Melaten, contributing to improving

the parking situation in the southern campus area. The car park is managed by RWTH

Aachen University.

Figure 12 shows the results of the parking space analyses. The analyses are conducted two

or three times a year, always a few weeks after the start of the semester once the mobility

behavior of students and employees has settled into a routine. At the start of the semester,

not all students may already have their semester ticket or a parking permit. The occupancy

rates depicted are an average of two analyses conducted in the morning (10:00 – 12:00

A.M.) and in the afternoon (2:00 – 4:00 P.M.).

Figure 12: Parking space analyses RWTH Aachen University

Source: Institute of Urban and Transport Planning, RWTH Aachen University (2015)

The results show that only the “Seminargebäude” parking lot on the central campus has a

high occupancy rate (90-97%). In the other three parking areas, only 29% to 37% of the

available parking spaces are occupied (November 2015). The following photos show that in

the car parks, several stories are empty.

These statistics prove that the mobility management measures implemented at the university

in 2011 have been effective. That year, parking space management was introduced for all of

the university’s parking area. Since then, every student, employee, and visitor of the

university has needed a parking permit to use one of the parking zones. Simultaneously,

another effective measure was implemented which both promotes the use of public transport

for trips to work and makes the use of private cars less attractive: A job ticket was introduced

for all employees of the university which can be used for both business and private trips.

4.2.2 Evaluation of car parking space at FH Aachen University of Applied

Sciences

In November 2015, the data for availability of car parking spaces, differentiated by types of

parking (≙ disabled parking space, parking for electric vehicles, visitors parking and special

employee parking), had been updated. The following figure provides an overview of the

amount of parking spaces in comparison between 2010 and 2015 in Aachen; the amount of

parking spaces for FH sites in Jülich is available, too. The difference between car parking

space in total and the sum of the other types of parking (see above) was the parking space

available for general usage. In 2010, that amount was 356 parking spaces; in 2015, it

increased to a total amount of 409 parking spaces for general usage.


24 / 70

Figure 15: Car parking spaces at FH sites, located in City of Aachen in comparison between 2010 and 2015


The facility managers attested occupancy level of 100% at all parking spaces at the FH

Aachen sites, during the semester lecture times.

The FH Aachen recorded a continuously positive development of the campus area. That

means, more students matriculated and more research project participations led to an

increase of the number of employees. New construction projects become necessary to

provide new new/more university and work places. Therefore, the extension of parking space

was a legal requirement. These values were already taken into account: at FH site

Bayernallee (+30% in comparison to 2010) and Eupener Straße (+35%) the contingencies of

parking spaces were increased. This has no positive effect on the occupancy rates because

the number of students and employees increased simultaneously. At the FH site in

Goethestraße the capacity of parking has decreased by some 17% in reference to the year

2010. The other sites remained unchanged.

4.2.3 Parking space management at RWTH Aachen University

One of the first measures of operational mobility management was the introduction of parking

space management at RWTH Aachen University in July 2011. Since then, every employee,

student, and visitor of the university has to require a parking permit to use the university’s

parking spaces. The parking areas were divided into parking zones reserved for a limited

group of people, ensuring that the employees can only use the parking spaces belonging to

their building. Students can only use the car parks.

In 2016, the prices for parking permits were changed for the first time since the introduction

of the parking space management in 2011. On 1 January 2016 and 1 January 2017, the

prices are raised by one Euro per month.

The parking spaces are checked by the surveillance personnel of the university. Vehicles

parked without a valid permit are towed away at the owner’s expense.

4.3 Carsharing

Maintaining their own fleet of vehicles is often a considerable expense factor in large

companies and administrations. However, in many cases the vehicles are not used efficiently

as the size of the fleet is determined by the peak demands. Carsharing could reduce these

expenses and may yield further benefits, as detailed below.

For companies, carsharing is a modern, flexible, affordable and environmentally friendly

alternative to a company-owned fleet of vehicles.

In the following, the term Business Carsharing is used as an umbrella term for all carsharing

measures in mobility management for companies.

Despite its advantages, Business Carsharing is not suitable for every company or purpose.

Carsharing can meet the demands of businesses in the following ways:

1. The carsharing vehicles are used instead of little-used company cars that are not

assigned to a specific employee.

2. The company uses their own vehicles at (near) full capacity and covers possible

peaks in demand using carsharing vehicles.

3. Carsharing vehicles are used for specific rare events that the company-owned

vehicles are not suitable for.


26 / 70

Using Business Carsharing, companies could save a considerable amount of money if it is

implemented correctly. The monthly fixed costs of carsharing are much lower than that of a

company car, with costs almost only incurring when carsharing is actually used. In addition,

there are indirect cost advantages since the carsharing provider takes over a large amount of

the administrative effort for the business trips.3

Other motives and advantages of Business Carsharing are flexibility, reliability, transparency,

cost control, and the positive public image.

4.3.1 Carsharing as a mobility offer for members of FH Aachen University of

Applied Sciences

The city-wide carsharing provider cambio provided several stations in the immediate

surroundings of FH sites (see Figure 19). The following bullet points show the name of the

carsharing stations and the distances to nearest FH sites:

Boxgraben: “Hubertus” (distance 50 m)

Goethestraße and Hohenstaufenallee/Aachener-und-Münchener-Allee:

o “Goethe” (distance 500 m and 600 m)

o “Mozart” (distance 400 m and 450 m)

Eupener Str.: “REWE-Stenten” (distance 700 m)

Bayernallee: “Bayernallee” (distance 0 m)

The carsharing station "Bayernallee" was built as part of the CIVITAS DYN@MO project and

put into daily operation on 1 December 2015. In the future, this location will be extended by a

charging station for electric vehicles (1 x public parking space and 1 x carsharing) and a

pedelec rental station (with 18 bicycle parking spaces).

In June 2012, a further cambio carsharing station was implemented at campus Jülich with

very good results in utilisation. Round about 1.000 carsharing trips started and ended in

Jülich and 2.600 trips have been made by FH employees in total (until December 2015).

Thus, approx. 38% of trips were made with cars of the carsharing station at campus Jülich.

4.3.2 Carsharing stations at RWTH Aachen University

On the campuses of RWTH Aachen University, there are currently seven carsharing stations

from cambio Aachen. In addition, there are other stations in direct proximity to the campuses

or isolated university locations within the city.

In the beginning of CIVITAS DYN@MO project, the plan was to set up a carsharing station in

front of the Cluster Logistics building on Campus Melaten. At the time, the Cluster was the

first and only completed building on the new campus. However, during the planning process

for the installation of a charging pole for electric vehicles, the power connection required was

found to be located at a distance of about 50m from the planned location of the charging

pole. Installing the necessary cable would have required digging up the street (including

pavements), which would have been very expensive (ca. €15,000-€18,000). As it was

unclear whether or not the future operator of the pedelec rental system “Velocity” would

provide funding, an alternative location with a better infrastructural situation in terms of

energy supply was determined instead. In early January 2016, the Campus GmbH, RWTH

Aachen University (Facility Management), and STAWAG (power supply) agreed on a

location. The plan is to set up the charging pole and the carsharing station in early 2016. It is

currently unclear whether a pedelec rental station can be set up as well; it would, however,

be an important part of the planned mobility station. Since June 2015, there has been a bus

stop serving three bus routes (12, 22, and 23) in direct proximity of the location (see Chapter

5.1.1).


28 / 70

With the current number of carsharing stations, a good network coverage can be achieved

throughout the university area. Only in the northern part of Campus Melaten there is no

station within a radius of about 300 to 500 meters. In addition, on the central campus

(SuperC, main building, library, etc.), there is only station “Linde”.

29 / 70

FH Aachen has only one cambio customer access, which means that it cannot be

differentiated by the four locations in Aachen. The number of drivers registered to use the

service rose from 181 to 193 in 2015.

Since 2011, RWTH Aachen University has had a framework agreement with cambio

carsharing Aachen allowing all university institutions to use carsharing for business trips. In

order to do so, the institutions (administrative departments, institutes, chairs, etc.) must

register with cambio Aachen and register those employees who would like to use carsharing

vehicles.

Figure 21: Carsharing station "Westbahnhof" at Mies-van-der-Rohe-Str.


13 institutes of the university were registered with cambio carsharing Aachen on 1 January

2016. A total of 60 university employees can since then use carsharing for business trips.

This means that the number of people allowed to use the service increased from 16 to 60

during the project duration. The offer will be more heavily advertised in the future (see

Mobility brochure; Chapter 7.1.2), to convince as many institutes and employees as possible

of the advantages of Business Carsharing. A positive side effect of using carsharing for

business trips is that employees may discover the benefits of private carsharing as well.

4.3.4 Use of carsharing on business trips at FH and RWTH Aachen University

From December 2012 to the end of 2015, carsharing was booked 2,325 times by the

employees of FH Aachen for business trips. In Aachen and Jülich, they covered a distance of

about 220,000 kilometres with carsharing vehicles by cambio Aachen. On average, the

vehicles were booked for about 7.5 hours.

In the same time period, the employees of RWTH Aachen University booked carsharing

vehicles 475 times for business trips and covered a distance of about 29,000 kilometres in

the Aachen locations. Carsharing vehicles were used for business for an average of 5.5

hours.

The development of the number of people registered for carsharing at the two universities

shows that there are considerably more employees who have access to carsharing vehicles

for business trips at FH Aachen than at RWTH Aachen University.


30 / 70

The development over the last three years shows that both the number of rentals and the

mileage among the employees have grown noticeably at RWTH Aachen University.

Regarding the number of rentals, there was a 44% increase in 2014 compared to the

previous year. In the following year, there was another 34% increase (see Figure 22).

Figure 22: Number of rentals for Business Carsharing


For business trips at RWTH Aachen University, the yearly mileage of vehicles of the local

provider cambio was at 6,000 km. In 2015, university employees already travelled almost

15,000 kilometres with the rental cars, which is an increase of 145% compared to 2013.

Figure 23: Annual Mileage of Business Carsharing


In the same period of time (2013-2015) Business Carsharing at FH Aachen underwent a

4.3.5 Usage and savings potentials of using Business Carsharing

For his Bachelor thesis, a student of RWTH Aachen University (enrolled in Mobility and

Transport) examined the promotion of sustainable mobility at universities through carsharing

and company bikes. He calculated the potential usage and savings on business trips using

the Faculty of Civil Engineering as an example.

The employees of the Faculty of Civil Engineering were asked about their mobility behaviour

on business trips in an online survey. 94 of the roughly 400 employees of the faculty

participated.

The participants were asked about their number of business trips, distance covered, and the

transport modes used. For distances between 5 and 50 kilometres, participants used a car

about 50% of the time. This could either be a company car issued by the university or an

institute/chair, or the employee’s private car. The employees frequently use cars for business

trips since they consider cars the most flexible and least time-consuming transport mode.

More than two thirds of the participants (78%) could imagine using carsharing vehicles for

business trips.

Source: Graphic: Institute of Urban and Transport Planning (2015); data basis: Föcking, Julian (2014)

The evaluation of the survey showed that the 94 participants take 1,301 business trips per

year by car (company or private car). At the average rate of CO2 emissions, this means that

the employees of the university would emit about 12.6 tons of CO2.

Figure 26: Potential savings through carsharing and pedelecs at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, RWTH Aachen University

Source: (Föcking, 2014)

The potential analysis showed that about 700 of the 1,301 yearly business trips taken by car

could be taken by other transport modes based on distance and duration. 266 of the trips

could be taken with carsharing vehicles, which would save about €5,650 per year. In

addition, 1.4 tons of CO2 could be saved per year through the more environmentally friendly

vehicles of the carsharing fleet. Projecting these numbers on the total number of employees

at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and assuming a similar mobility behavior as that of the

participants in the sample, 1,228 trips per year could be taken with carsharing vehicles. The

costs of business trips by car could be reduced by about €26,000 per year. At the faculty,

about 6.4 tons of CO2 per year could be saved by the use of Business Carsharing alone.

4.4 Carpooling

4.4.1 RWTH Aachen University’s commuter portal

Since March 2015, employees and students of FH Aachen and RWTH Aachen University

have had access to a carpooling portal. The commuter portal (www.pendlerportal.de) is

meant to contribute to the creation of a sustainable mobility structure. It is supposed to help

employees and students to find drivers or passengers for their trips to work in order to reduce

the traffic volume. In addition, car users can share the costs of the commute.

The evaluation of the usage statistics of the commuter portal (Figure 27 and Figure 28) show

that the platform has not yet been well used for trips to work or university. By the end of

2015, only ten profiles were created and four ads were placed. No successful mediation has

so far been registered. The evaluation of the site views and qualified search queries show

that press releases on the RWTH homepage and announcements on social media

(Facebook, Twitter, and Google+) briefly led to a spike in attention, which however failed to

attract new users.

Advertising the commuter portal

This development shows that a publicity campaign is necessary to advertise such mobility

management measures and raise awareness. Employees and students of the university

must be addressed as specific target groups to be convinced to participate in carpooling. In

order to do so, it might be helpful if well-known university personalities (e.g. chancellor/

rector) acted as spokespersons for the project to emphasize the importance of the measure.

In addition, a “critical mass” of users should already be reached at the launch of the

commuter portal to ensure it is functional from the start. The number of people depends on

the respective measure. It should facilitate the launch of the measure by having the “test

users” act as multipliers that will increase awareness of the measure. In addition, critical

mass during the launch of a carpooling portal is necessary to make sure there is a certain

number of carpooling offers available from the start to show that the system works. By using

incentives such as fuel vouchers, participants could have been acquired for such a

campaign.

At RWTH Aachen University, such a campaign should already have been conducted at the

start of the commuter portal to increase its chance of success. The administration of the

university, however, decided against such a campaign and instead focused only on

announcements on its website and on social media. Furthermore, the university did not

advertise the commuter with flyers, posters, or other media (e.g. at the parking lots and car

parks).

Outlook

The Facility Management of RWTH Aachen University is planning to reserve a certain

number of parking spots near the entrance for carpooling. In addition, the expansion of the

mobility portal and the mobility brochures (see Chapters 7.1.1 and 7.1.2) will hopefully

increase awareness of the commuter portal significantly. The results of the focus groups,

which were conducted with students and employees of the university in January 2016

(Chapter 3.3.1), indicate that the vast majority of people at the university do not know about

the portal. None of the 34 participants (students and employees) were aware that this offer

existed.

4.4.2 Commuter portal of FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

The FH Aachen participated in a city-wide commuter portal, which was successfully

implemented. The results of the usage statistics are visualised in Figure 29 and Figure 30.

The portal, that provided a basis for employees and students to get to work together, has not

yet been accepted. Until the end of 2015, only 12 profiles were created and 15 both

placements and available offers have been added on the portal by FH Aachen members.

However, no successful arrangement could be registered so far. Even press releases on the

FH Aachen website and messages over Fact Sheet “Mobility at FH Aachen” could not help to

raise the awareness and acceptance of new users by FH Aachen (see Chapter 7.2.2).

Table 3: Changes in bus service in the university areas above lists the changes in bus

transportation since 2010 which are relevant to the campuses of RWTH Aachen University.


39 / 70

Due to the significantly higher number of students resulting from the education reform (switch

to the eight-year Gymnasium (G8)) and the abolition of compulsory military service and

alternative community service, and due to additional circumstances (expansion of the

university, introduction of parking space management and the job ticket), several changes

were made in the last few years to improve the bus service. The introduction of new bus lines

(e.g. 73 and 80) connecting the inner city with the campuses in particular has visibly

improved the quality of service. Furthermore, by introducing express bus lines (103/173),

public transport was made much more attractive to commuters. Line 173, which directly

connects the town of Stolberg and the southern districts of Aachen to the campuses, has

proved particularly popular (result of the focus groups on public transport, see Chapter

3.3.1). This also holds true for Line 73, which directly connects Aachen Rothe Erde to the

campuses Mitte, Hörn, and Melaten and the university hospital. In addition, the frequency of

trips on Line 33 connecting Frankenberger Viertel to the campuses (including the university

hospital) was increased significantly. Line 80 constitutes the first direct bus connection

between Herzogenrath and Campus Melaten. This eliminates the detour via Aachen Bushof

as well as the need to change buses there. Moreover, the connection to Campus Melaten on

Saturdays was improved in 2015: Every other trip on the Lines 3A and 3B continues past

Ponttor to Campus Melaten and the university hospital. Expanding the frequency of trips on

Line 30 primarily leads to an improved connection to the eastern districts (e.g. Soers).

Figure 31: Bus line 73 at RWTH Aachen University


Figure 32: Bus line 12 at the Campus Boulevard (Melaten)


Campus Melaten

Following the construction on Campus Melaten, Campus Boulevard was connected to the

bus network in June 2015. Two new bus stops were set up (Maria-Lipp-Straße and Wilfried-

König-Straße) for lines 12, 22, and 23. Since the schedule changes in June 2015, buses

have no longer gone via or stopped at Steinbachstraße. This has led to a clear improvement

of the public transport service for employees, students, and visitors of the new clusters on

the Boulevard. Passengers who previously used the Steinbachstraße bus stop can now use

one of the stops on Forckenbeckstraße, which are easily accessible on foot (max. 450 m).

During the redevelopment of Campus Melaten, Forckenbeckstraße was expanded to an

important north-south axis for the inner development of the campus. Six bus lines ensure the

connection to the public transport network.

Outlook


40 / 70

RWTH Aachen University is in close and regular contact with ASEAG and AVV in order to

keep adapting the public transport service to conditions and demands which are changing

constantly because of the rising number of students and employees. In addition, construction

on the extended university areas and the resulting transport demands cause changes that

the university and the transportation authorities and companies must react to. Regular work

group meetings on public transport at the university constitute the basis for this.

5.1.2 FH Aachen

5.1.3 Timetable analysis at sites of FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

The analysis considered the important times of the PT schedule and of the lecture schedule.

These times were the morning (8-10 am) and the afternoon peak hours (12am-5pm). In

those periods the transport operator used more public transport vehicles than outside the

peak hours. A comparison of the PT time plans between the situation at the beginning of the

CIVITAS DYN@MO project in 2012 and in the year 2016 will take place during the project

lifetime. Since the analysis was in process during the work on this report, it was not possible

to integrate the data of 2016. This report hence describes only the status quo (before

evaluation):

Due to the many schools around the FH site Bayernallee, the PT operator increased the

amount of used bus lines at peak hours (special use of “S-lines”). But basically from 6am to

9pm regularly every twelve minutes buses of the lines 11, 21, 46 and SB 63 (and in some

cases 30 and 36) operated. All buses with a stop at Bayernallee drove towards the main

station and bus station. During main lecture hours at FH Aachen, the amount of PT vehicles

was increased.

The very bad parking situation could be compensated by a very good connection to bus and

train at the FH site Boxgraben. During the period from 7am to 7pm, the “Ring Lines” 3A/ B

and 13A/ B drove every 7.5 minutes. Every day between 7am and 8am two additional buses

on lines 3A and 3B operated. Nearby, a railway station named “Schanz” offered train

connections to Mönchengladbach and Düsseldorf twice an hour and three times per hour in

the direction of Stolberg and Cologne.

There was a challenge at the FH site Eupener Straße: the buses of the lines 27, 30, 37 and

77 did not stop at the main station, but only at the bus station. Only one exception was the

line 14, which went every 30 minutes to the train station. Looking at all the lines together, the

buses drove every 12 minutes to the FH site and back (almost exclusively to the bus station).

At schooldays, the ASEAG operated with three more buses from 7am to 8am and with two

more buses in the time from 12am to 2pm between bus station and the FH site at Eupener

Straße.

It was possible to combine the schedule analysis at the FH sites in the Hohenstaufenallee

and the Goethestraße, because they are located closely together. The next bus stop for

both locations was the "Reumontstraße". In the period from 7am to 7pm, buses from this

station reached these FH sites in a ten minute interval. The same scheduled service offered

in the opposite direction, from the FH site to the bus station. None of these lines 2, 32 and 53

went directly to the central railway station. However, this could be compensated by the short


41 / 70

walk (1 kilometre, less than 15 minutes’ walk). At schooldays, an additional bus of line 2

operated from 7am to 8am and four additional buses operated from 12am to 2pm (in both

directions).

Finally, the scheduled service of public transport was very well for FH sites from 7am to 7pm.

Due to the selectively high amount of passengers during the peak hours of main lecture time,

additional buses of several lines were operating.

5.2 Job ticket


In July 2011, RWTH Aachen University offered its employees a job ticket for the first time,

promoting the use of public transport. Simultaneously, the university introduced parking

space management (see Chapter 4.2.2). The price of the job ticket varies according to the

employees’ place of residence. The ticket entitles the employees to unlimited use of buses

and trains within the Aachener Verkehrsverbund (AVV).

In the summer of 2015, the contract with the AVV was renewed for four years. With the

renewal, the prices of the job ticket and the parking space management were raised (see

table Table 4). This was justified both by a general increase of prices in public transport and

by the expansion of the area of validity to neighbouring municipalities of the AVV. For

example, since the summer of 2015, the job ticket has been valid in the town of Kerpen,

which is part of the neighbouring transport association Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg.

* tariff B: Purchasing the job ticket for a shorter period (less than 1 year)

Figure 33 shows the development of the number of people who acquired a parking permit,

job ticket, or combined ticket. The combined tickets include both the job ticket for public

transport and a free parking permit for the university area. Since the beginning of 2012,

about 1,700 employees of the university (including apprentices) have held a job ticket on

average. The number of “pure” job tickets is at 470 on average. At an average of 8,000

employees, this means that about 21% of the employees have a job ticket.


42 / 70

The number of people holding a job ticket or combined ticket declined considerably in the

summer of 2015, likely due to the result of the contract between the university and the AVV

expiring on 30 June 2015. Only on 18 May 2015, the employees of the university were told

about the contract being renewed (under modified conditions). The employees were

therefore uncertain about the continuation of the attractive public transport offer for a long

time. It is quite possible that some employees spent that time rethinking their choice of

transport mode and turned away from public transport. In addition, the railway closure

between Aachen und Düren (to Cologne) in the summer of 2015 played a large role. From 27

June to 10 August 2015, buses replaced the trains between the main stations of Aachen and

Düren as the railway line was closed for maintenance. This closure has in all likelihood led

some employees commuting via this railway line to seek out other transport modes and only

reapply for the job ticket once regular railway service resumed. The number of ticket holders

as of January 2016 support this assumption: At the beginning of the year, 502 employees

held a job ticket and 1,279 held a combined ticket (compared to 371 job tickets and 1,185

combined tickets in July 2015, when job ticket ownership was at its lowest point).

The number of parking permits for students is subject to periodical fluctuations. At the

change of the semester, generally fewer students acquire a permit than in the other months.

This is due to delays in re-registration, resulting in student parking permits not being

renewed.

The number of parking permits for university employees rose above 3,000 for the first time in

May 2013. Periodical fluctuations are, as with the students, visible, which can however not

be explained by seasons, semester changes, or the lecture period.

5.2.2 Status report: Public transport ticket as a mobility offer for members of

FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

Since its initialisation in 2010, the working group on mobility management at the FH Aachen

University of Applied Sciences discussed the topic “job ticket”. Different calculation models

were developed; the combination possibilities with a parking management as a cross-

financing opportunity were checked. The baseline information for the calculation of parking

management were the existing parking spaces at all sites. The survey on mobility behaviour

addressed to all employees at FH Aachen asked specifically for the possibility to use a job

ticket by FH members for their daily traveling to work. It was a way to evaluate the potential

of acceptance. In spite of the positive results from the survey and a draft for regulation of

parking fees, it has not yet succeeded an introduction of a job ticket. A further upcoming

meeting between FH Aachen, the AVV and the City of Aachen have been scheduled.

Due to legal and financial requirements (e.g. tariff structure, high costs), the

administration of FH Aachen was not able to implement the job ticket for employees.

6 Cycling

6.1 Bike stands

Cycling plays a central role at both universities since numerous students and employees use

bicycles on their way to class or work (see Figure 34). Almost a quarter of all university

students cycle to class. With currently about 44,000 students enrolled at RWTH Aachen

University, the importance of a suitable cycling infrastructure is obvious. This is relevant both

for the design of the bike lanes and the bike stands at RWTH Aachen University.

Figure 34: Modal split of the students and employees of RWTH Aachen University on their trips to class or work

Source: (Farrokhikhiavi, 2015)


There is a total of 2,270 bicycle stands at RWTH Aachen University with enough space for

about 3,500 bikes. The majority of the stands are on Campus Mitte, i.e. the central area of

the university, as this is where the largest university buildings are and the demand is highest.

The results of surveys (usage of the bike stands) conducted in the surroundings of the main

building, the university library, the SuperC and the largest lecture halls, Kármán-Auditorium

and Audimax, show that the existing number of bike stands is necessary. During the summer

months, they are usually used at 100% capacity.

In the last years, RWTH Aachen University has continuously improved the number and

quality of the bike stands on campus. Old bike stands (grid-style front wheel stands) were

replaced by U-racks and the number of stands was increased significantly. Table 6: Types of

bicycle stands at RWTH Aachen University (10/2014) below shows that the majority of

bicycle stands are now U-racks, which make parking bikes safer. However, there are still

about 800 front wheel stands which will be replaced in the next years to improve the quality

of the racks.

In the new lecture building CARL in Claßenstraße, 550 bike stands will be installed in the

basement, offering space for 1,100 bikes. This will be the first large, roofed parking space for

bicycles at the university. In addition, 63 bicycle stands for 126 bikes will be installed outside

of the building.

6.1.2 Bike facilities at sites of FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

In 2014, the share of employees coming to work by bicycle was 14.4%.

The total amount of bicycle parking spaces at the sites of FH Aachen University of Applied

Sciences in Aachen was approx. 570. According to the estimations by the facility managers

up to 100% of these bike facilities were mainly occupied during the semester lecture time.

In the context of new constructions of buildings at the FH sites and due to the establishment

of new/more university and work places, the extension of parking space for bicycles was a

legal requirement. The following list shows the bike facilities in the year 2016, differentiated

by FH sites in Aachen:

6.2 Pedelec rental system

Since the number of students at both universities is currently rising fast and university

locations (institutes, lecture halls, etc.) are scattered over the city, the bus system is pushed

to its limits during rush hour. Students and teachers need to get from one classroom to the

next, often extremely quickly (<15 minutes), which cannot be handled by public transport

alone.

This is why students of both universities have founded a student initiative aiming to improve

the mobility of both students and all other inhabitants of Aachen. They are developing a

mobility service that is meant to support public transport and increase the share of cycling.

The student initiative has since become a limited liability company (“Velocity”) managed by

two founders of the initiative.

Velocity’s vision is to install a pedelec rental system with approx. 100 stations and 1,000

pedelecs by the 2016 summer semester. The project is meant to make electric mobility in


47 / 70

Aachen visible and practical. The plan is to fund the installation of the rental system through

the budget of the City of Aachen, supported by sponsors and co-funded by research projects

(e.g. CIVITAS DYN@MO and eMoVe).

Once completed, the station network will cover the entire inner city with a maximum distance

of 300 meters between two stations. The most important locations include the central

university institutions (lecture halls, dining halls, and administration), dorms, public transport

stations, carsharing stations, and public/cultural institutions.

The rental system is meant to relieve public transport during rush hour especially in the

university areas and to allow people to travel between the scattered university buildings in an

environmentally friendly manner. That way, students and teachers can reach even the more

remote lecture halls within the 30-minute interval.

Employees of RWTH Aachen University have the option of using pedelecs both for errands

(within Aachen) and for their trip to work. It is the ideal transport mode for short distances (up

to approx. 10 km one way). In addition, the system will allow guests and visitors of the

university travelling to the city by public transport to change to a pedelec at the train station

and cover the last stretch to their destination with no emissions.

Development in the context of CIVITAS DYN@MO

The Institute of Urban and Transport Planning at RWTH Aachen University has supported

this initiative since the start and already conducted a site analysis in 2013 that serves as the

basis for the gradual installation of the system (see Figure 36). Furthermore, the university

administration supports the development of the rental system considerably by providing the

necessary spaces, helping with building applications, and promptly grants approval when

required. FH Aachen also supports the development of the rental system. The administration

of FH Aachen contributed €20,000 (net) for the installation of a station at the “Bayernallee”

location as part of the CIVITAS DYN@MO project and worked to gain the approval of the

“Bau- und Liegenschaftsbetrieb” NRW for the construction of the station.

In the last three years the CIVITAS DYN@MO project supported and pushed forward the

development of the pedelec rental system and the installation of mobility stations. RWTH’s

Institute of Urban and Transport Planning (ISB), as the measure leader of measure A1.3,

was responsible for bringing together the initiatives, actors, institutions, and sponsors.

Figure 35: Pedelec rental station at the Computer Science Centre at RWTH Aachen University

Pictures: Institute of Urban and Transport Planning (2015)

The developments in recent years and numerous meetings between the City of Aachen, the

universities, and Velocity have shown that the goal of the former student initiative was very

ambitious. The lacking know-how and experience with setting up such a system became

apparent in the fundamental understanding of the project development.

For these reasons, only two stations were completed by early 2016. One of these stations

was set up through the CIVITAS DYN@MO project at the Computer Science Centre of

RWTH Aachen University in early 2015 and has since been in trial operation. Velocity is

planning to launch the public operation of the rental system in early 2016 once fife stations

have been installed.

6.3 Other measures

In some university buildings, there are changing rooms and showers for the employees of

RWTH Aachen University. This is of particular interest to cyclists with a longer commute who

want to change their clothes.

The university does not advertise these changing rooms and showers explicitly as they do

not exist in all buildings and are thus not accessible to all employees. However, the Facility

Management intends to include more of such facilities in new buildings in order to gradually

improve the conditions for cyclists.

7 Mobility information

7.1 Information at RWTH Aachen University

7.1.1 RWTH Aachen University’s Mobility Portal

RWTH’s Institute of Urban and Transport Planning suggested the development of a mobility

portal providing employees, students, and visitors of the university with information on

mobility and transport as early as 2009 as part of the master plan Mobility.

Background

While the current websites and intranet sites of the university contain some mobility

information, this information is relatively hard to find. In addition, the quantity and the

presentation of the information need to be improved in order to address the different target

groups specifically.

On the home page of the website, there is currently no information on mobility or how to

travel to the university. A separate space on mobility and transport would be particularly

helpful for outsiders wanting to find out how to get to RWTH Aachen University. The main

category “RWTH” merely offers information on the buildings and maps to locate them. The

maps are based on Google Maps, which provide directions both for walking and for car. In

order to use the directions, however, users must know the name or number of the building

they want to visit.

The current system is not capable of providing directions for public transport. Furthermore,

the maps do not contain any information on the parking space management and its parking

zones, nor is there any information on the accessibility of the buildings.

The status analysis of the current online presence regarding travel to the university has

shown that information is lacking particularly regarding the following:


50 / 70

Figure 37: Lacking mobility information at RWTH Aachen University


The size of the university area and the scattered location of the different institutes and

facilities pose a challenge particularly to visitors planning their trip with the respective

transport mode. This includes both the choice of route and finding a legal parking spot or the

nearest public transport stop. The ISB therefore recommended that the university

administration provide the appropriate information specifically for different target groups and

transport modes (see Figure 38).

Figure 38: Information on travelling to the university


For public transport, this means that the website should include general transport information

for regional and long-distance visitors, maps of bus stops and train stations, and the real-time

schedule information provided by the transportation company/transport authority. To make it

chairs) should be incorporated as Points of Interest (PoI) into the schedule information of the

transportation company and the transport authority.

For motorized private transport, extensive information for regional and long-distance visitors

is lacking, both regarding directions and the university’s parking space management. The

parking spaces on campus may only be used by those who have a parking permit, which can

be requested from the university administration. Visitors of the university must request a

visitors’ parking permit which allows them to use specific parking spaces.

The website and intranet sites of the university do not currently provide information on

cycling. It would make sense to incorporate or link to a bicycle route planner as well as

general information. In addition, it would be helpful to include the bike stands in the maps as

well as information on their number and type. In the future, the pedelec rental stations which

are currently under construction (see Chapter 6.2) should also be included in the maps and

general information on the system (including rates) should be offered. Furthermore, the

institutions/buildings providing changing rooms and showers for cyclists could be included in

the information portal.

In addition to the travel information, which is particularly interesting and relevant to visitors of

the university, there should also be information on mobility offers at RWTH Aachen

University for the students and employees. These include:

Planning

As a foundation for the development of a mobility portal, RWTH’s Institute of Urban and

Transport Planning researched national and international universities and compiled best-

practice examples. At the national level, these include Ruhr-Universität Bochum, TU

Darmstadt, and TU Dresden, as well as Princeton University in New Jersey at the

international level.

The technological universities of Dresden and Darmstadt both provide extensive information

on mobility offers and visiting the universities on their websites as well as a so-called

“Campus Navigator”. This navigator provides depictions of all buildings and their entrances

(indicating accessibility provided it is available), and information on public transport and

motorized private transport, including parking spaces (incl. disabled parking spots), public

transport routes, and directions for non-motorized private transport, motorized private

transport, and public transport.

The administration of RWTH Aachen University started implementing the ISB’s concept and

setting up a mobility portal in 2015. The category “Mobility” was incorporated prominently on

the university website, where students, employees, and visitors will find all relevant

information in the future, such as visitors’ information and information on the aforementioned

mobility offers. In addition to the redesign of the content and the information provided, the

structure and presentation is another priority.

Besides this “static” information on the university websites, users will also have access to a

so-called “navigator” in the future which can be used to search for both buildings/institutions

and mobility offers. The navigator is based on Google Maps and thus also provides

directions for different transport modes. University buildings and many other facilities (e.g.

carsharing stations, public transport stations) were incorporated as Points of Interest for easy

navigation. The following overview lists the mobility information that the navigator is

supposed to provide once it is finished (planned for summer 2016):

7.1.2 RWTH Aachen University’s mobility brochure

Background

So far, the university administration has not provided the employees and students with

extensive information on mobility options for trips to work or class or for business trips.

Employees are not given substantial information on mobility at RWTH Aachen University

when they are hired. They are merely told about the job ticket and the parking space

management and how to apply for those on the intranet.

In the mobility survey conducted among the university’s employees within the DYN@MO

project in 2013, the participants were asked how they were made aware of the job ticket.

Most of the participants (38%) said they were informed by the explanatory letter that the

administration sent to all employees in 2011 when the job ticket and the parking space

management were introduced. About a quarter of the participants said their colleagues told

them about the ticket, and 4% of the employees said they had not been aware that the job

ticket existed.

Figure 41: Awareness of the job ticket among employees of RWTH Aachen University

Source: Institute of Urban and Transport Planning (2013): Results of the mobility survey among the employees of RWTH Aachen University (not published)

Planning

For these reasons, within DYN@MO RWTH’s Institute of Urban and Transport Planning

designed a mobility brochure which will be printed and handed out to all employees in early

2016. In addition, the Department of Human Resources will also give the brochures to newly

hired employees in order to inform them about mobility options at RWTH Aachen University

early on. The first printing of the brochure will be 10,000 copies.

7.1.3 Signpost system RWTH Aachen University

The numerous expansions and redevelopments at the university are an important reason for

why a uniform, clear signpost system is needed to allow visitors, employees and students

alike to navigate the campuses with ease.

Background

At the moment, the university does not have a uniform signpost system for motorized and

non-motorized transport. The municipality has signposted the campuses Mitte, Hörn, and

Melaten on the major roads; in general, there are no signposts for individual institutions. Due

to its increasing size and density, Campus Melaten was subdivided by cardinal directions a

few years ago.

Figure 42: Signposts on the campuses of RWTH Aachen University


For pedestrians, there are scattered on-campus signposts to individual buildings or

clusters/faculties, some of which are outdated, covered in dirt, or even damaged. In some

places, new signpost boards were installed in recent years with replaceable individual signs

(see Figure 42).

Insufficient road signs and lacking information on the university website have led the

institutes and chairs of the university to publish their own descriptions of how to get there on

their websites. However, these usually do not include individual directions but are limited to

Old signpost (general plan) Old signpost (pole)

New signpost (board) New signpost (board)


55 / 70

textual explanations including a (self-made) map. There is usually no substantial information

on the university’s mobility offers (e.g. parking space management), which would be of

particular interest to visitors.

Planning

The new signpost system is meant to help users navigate unfamiliar locations. Guidance

systems welcome road users and guide them to their destinations (rule of continuity). This

requires the right information to be given at the right place (e.g. which transport mode am I

using?) in a suitable way. In addition to the rule of continuity, the rule of uniformity, which

recommends a uniform system and the use of uniform terms, must also be observed.

In larger areas such as RWTH Aachen University, the guidance systems should differentiate

between major destinations and local destinations. Major destinations would be the

campuses Mitte, Hörn, and Melaten, which would ideally be signposted at every major

junction. Local destinations would be nearby university buildings/facilities.

In addition, the guidance systems should direct travellers along the shortest way possible

while taking safety concerns and other factors into account. For the development of a

guidance system, it is also important to know who the target groups are and what they need.

Accessibility is an important factor especially due to demographic developments. The needs

of disabled people must be considered when planning transport systems of any kind.

Ruhr-Universität Bochum has recently redeveloped its guidance system. The university

created new maps of the campus which can be viewed on location, at screen kiosks, and

online. In addition, new signs and signposts were installed for easy navigation. The needs of

disabled people were taken into account by setting up specific signs indicating accessible

paths and entries.

In addition to the local static guidance systems, digital navigation will continue to grow in

importance in the future. Even today, almost everyone owns a mobile device and can get

directions from apps. Providing a mobile version of the RWTH Navigator would make the

university’s mobility information available on the go.

7.1.4 Mobility handbook Campus Melaten

Background

Due to the expansion of the university in the Campus Melaten and Campus West areas and

the additional traffic resulting therefrom, it became necessary to address the topic “Mobility at

the university” with an integrated approach combining transport infrastructure planning and

transportation and mobility management for all areas of the university (Master Plan Mobility).

In addition, introducing an innovative mobility concept promotes the public image of a

modern/excellent university. Furthermore, it is important not to ignore urban planning

concerns in this context. Streets crowded with parked cars instead of generous public spaces

are an important factor influencing the attractiveness of a city.


56 / 70

Campus Melaten is the most modern development zone in the city and the region. Such a

pioneering location requires traffic to be handled in a modern, up-to-date manner by/through:

Smartly combining transport modes (cars, public transport, walking, cycling)

Innovative offers and incentives for reducing car traffic

Reducing parking spots, saving space when constructing parking areas (saving costs

on construction and maintenance)

Minimizing the costs of investment and operation for investors

Improving the offers for employees and visitors (alternative transport modes, mobility

information, prices, health, traffic safety, etc.)

Reducing environmental stress

Innovative technological solutions for dynamic mobility information (web- and

smartphone-based)

Improving the public image of the location and adequately broadcasting the

innovative mobility concept

The concept for Campus Melaten is based on consultations and incentive systems for

investors to support innovative approaches and to handle the employees’ and visitors’

mobility efficiently and sustainably. The basis of such a concept should be taken into account

early on in the planning phase (design planning, land-use planning, acquiring investors) as

this yields the highest effects at the least amount of effort. The mobility concept should not

create additional obstacles for investors but instead result in a collaboration that will improve

both the financial situation and the concept’s attainability.

Under current law, mobility management measures cannot be directly established in

development plans; however, a framework can be created to prepare and facilitate an

implementation during the construction permit phase (e.g. by terms in the development plan

forbidding all of the necessary parking spaces to be constructed at ground level).

This is why it is necessary for all those involved in the planning (RWTH Aachen University,

development company, BLB, City of Aachen, etc.) to agree on goals and possible measures

early on in the planning process. A mobility concept offers the opportunity to address the

mobility needs of later users from the start and to organize them better.

In doing so, the effects benefit the investors and companies as well as the development of

the city as a whole. For the companies, mobility costs not only consist of the expenses of the

employees on their trips to and from work – the investments and operating expense of a

location are also affected by the costs of mobility (without mobility management).

Developing the mobility handbook

Due to the situation described, RWTH’s Institute of Urban and Transport Planning developed

a mobility handbook that is meant to support investors, companies, and employees on

Campus Melaten in shaping business traffic.


57 / 70

Investors can already influence future traffic at the company location by creating the

necessary conditions for a cost-efficient, socially compatible and environmentally friendly

mobility. Even at a later stage, businesses can influence the mobility behaviour of their

employees. This can be achieved by a range of incentives that make the switch to

environmentally friendly transport modes easier. In addition, the mobility handbook is meant

to help all employees to find alternatives to their private car that will benefit their health and

the environment.

The objectives are: Environmentally friendly and sustainable mobility that will benefit

everyone, and financial benefits for investors, businesses, and employees.

Structure of the handbook

Following a brief explanation of the mobility handbook and its uses, the development of

Campus Melaten and its inner and outer transport development is explained. As for many

other businesses and institutions, the accessibility of the location plays an important role for

the research clusters on the campus. This does not only refer to its accessibility with private

motorized transport, but also to non-motorized and public transport modes.

The concept of mobility management for businesses and its range of measures are then

presented. This includes an explanation of the various advantages for both the business and

its employees.

The handbook goes on to introduce its target groups to the sustainable mobility concept of

Campus Melaten and RWTH Aachen University. One of the most important effects that an

investor or a business wants to achieve by implementing business mobility management is

saving costs directly or indirectly related to mobility. In order to provide an overview of the

potential savings, the mobility costs incurring for investors and operators during the

development and operating phase are presented.

Moreover, the potential and areas of use of mobility management during the planning phase

of a construction project are explained. Among others, the possible reduction of parking

spaces during the construction permit process by considering mobility management

measures is covered in more detail as this might prove a special incentive for investors since

it usually saves costs.

The handbook also describes the measures of mobility management for businesses which

are relevant both for investors and operators. These include the introduction of parking space

management on the company premises, the promotion of public transport, the use of

carsharing on business trips, and the promotion of carpooling among commutes.

The content of the mobility handbook was completed at the end of 2015. Once the layout and

printing are completed in early 2016, it is expected to be published in the summer of 2016

and will be shown to the current investors of the extended areas of RWTH Aachen

University.

7.2 Information at FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

7.2.1 Business travel management der FH Aachen University of Applied

Sciences

The objectives of the business travel management at the FH Aachen University of Applied

Sciences (DR-MM) were to implement measures to optimise the administrative and

organisational processes and to increase the awareness and acceptance of members of FH

Aachen to use ecomobility (bus, train, bike, carsharing) for business trips.

At the beginning of the CIVITAS DYN@MO project a lot of FH employees were not satisfied

with the progress in the administrative and organisational process of business trips of the

university administration. For example, the considerable effort for especially the settlement of

a business trip led to an increasing amount of delays. In 2013, the optimisation of the DR-

MM resulted in a restructuring of the administrative process (see Figure 43). That new form

of organisation has been implemented successfully and has been published to all employees

via travel costs information sheet.

Figure 43: Restructuring of business travel management at the FH Aachen (2013)

The mobility survey at FH Aachen (2014) provided also data about business trip statistics

(including the amount of trips and the choice of transport modes) and an assessment of the

practical application of the new business travel management system (available since 2013)

by the employees of the FH Aachen, see Figure 44.

Most of the opinions were positive (with potential for increasing the “very good” ratings) about

the restructuring. Approximately ⅓ of respondents could not answer the questions, because

they did not conduct any business trip.

7.2.2 Fact Sheet Mobility of FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences

Through the co-funding from the European Commission within DYN@MO, a communication

concept in the area of mobility could be implemented for FH Aachen University of Applied

Sciences in 2014. All employees received fact sheets on current issues on mobility via e-

mail. In December 2014, the first fact sheet “Mobility at FH Aachen” has been sent. Since

then, three more fact sheets in 2015 and up to now one sheet in 2016 were given to

employees. The sheets provided information about alternative mobility options such as

commuters’ portal or carsharing and gave feedback about the survey results.

This medium is being used to inform about future mobility topics at the FH Aachen University

of Applied Sciences.

8 External factors

This chapter gives an overview of external factors that influenced the development and

implementation of the mobility measures in measure “A1.3 Sustainable university traffic”.

External factors refer to the public conditions and influence all people and therefore the

target groups of the respective mobility project. These factors vary highly and always depend

on the scope of the project. The following table provides an overview of possible external

factors and does not claim to be exhaustive.

Figure 46: External factors


8.1 Development of fuel prices

One important factor which may influence the implementation and therefore the success of

mobility projects are the fuel prices. They have a decisive influence on people’s choice of

transport modes. An increase in fuel prices can promote the success and effectiveness of

mobility management measures considerably as it leads to significant restrictions in

motorized private transport. Looking only at financial concerns, this increases the

attractiveness of cycling and of public transport without any improvement of offers in these

areas. However, public transport is only promoted in this case if its rates aren’t raised as well

(e.g. because of the increasing fuel prices). Carpooling also becomes more attractive when

fuel prices rise as it allows people to share the costs of their commutes.

Lower fuel prices, on the other hand, may prove counterproductive for the success of

environmentally friendly, sustainable mobility projects as they reduce the incentive to switch

from private cars to other transport modes. They may also lower the interest in carpooling as

the impact of fuel prices shrinks.

Political/legal situation

Fuel prices and public transport rates (increase or decrease)

Infrastructure (e.g. new public transport lines, new stops or relocation of existing stops)

Relocation of organisations, businesses, etc.

Availability of parking spots (e.g. changes in the number of parking spots or in the parking fees)

Other mobility projects being conducted at the same time


61 / 70

Figure 47 shows the fuel price development in Germany since 2012 (during the lifetime of

CIVITAS DYN@MO) and how much the price of one litre of petrol or diesel has sunk since

then. While the average price of a litre of diesel was about €1.50 in 2012, it was only €1.20 in

2015. The development of the price of petrol was similar, although the price collapse

between 2014 and 2015 was not as severe as it was for diesel.

Within DYN@MO and explicitly measure A1.3, this development most likely affected the

success of specific measures such as the commuter portal, which was launched in early

2015 and has hardly been used since. In addition to the reasons mentioned in chapter 4.4.1,

the fuel prices surely played a role in the measure’s lack of success. As explained above, low

fuel prices mean that less people choose to carpool for financial reasons. That was one of

the results of the focus groups with students and employees of RWTH Aachen University in.

In addition, the fuel prices affect the acceptance of public and non-motorized transport offers

and the frequency at which they are used. Thus, the number of parking permits issued rose

continuously between the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2015. Regarding the sales of job

tickets and combined tickets, however, there has been no significant increase since the end

of 2012. The number of tickets issued was at roughly the same level in early 2016 as it was

at the beginning of the project towards the end of 2012.

8.2 Railway line closures

As mentioned in chapter 5.2.1, extensive maintenance was conducted on the railway

between Aachen and Cologne, prompting a major closure for six weeks in the summer of

2015. Replacement buses were deployed to bring travellers from Aachen to Düren and vice

versa.

In addition, extensive overhead wire maintenance was conducted between Aachen and

Geilenkirchen/Mönchengladbach from 10 February to 24 March 2016, which also required a

line closure and replacement buses. As a result, many travellers on their way from Aachen to

Mönchengladbach and Düsseldorf had to take the bus to Herzogenrath or Geilenkirchen.

These two railway line closures affected commuter traffic considerably and surely made

public transport less attractive during that time. The restrictions made trips longer and less

comfortable. Overall and regarding DYN@MO, these circumstances have made public

transport less attractive during the two time periods, which in turn is reflected in the number

of job tickets and parking permits issued. Regarding the acceptance and use of the

commuter portal, the two major railway closures seem to have had no noticeable effect (see

chapters 4.4.1 and 4.4.2).

8.3 Council proposal on mobility at RWTH and FH Aachen

On 10 June 2015, the political parties CDU and SPD proposed developing a concept to

cover the mobility needs at the universities of Aachen (FH and RWTH) to the council. This

concept would also include an assessment of which bus lines are suitable or could be

introduced as a campus or university line.

So far, a mobility strategy spanning both universities in Aachen has not yet been developed.

However, there have been numerous developments at both RWTH and FH Aachen, some of

which are exemplary.

In October 2015, the administration of Aachen suggested conducting a workshop on

university mobility each with everyone responsible for the areas of RWTH and FH Aachen in

order to exchange and evaluate new findings on which projects can be implemented in the

short and medium term. These suggestions would then be presented to the political

representatives on the mobility committee. Furthermore, a sub-strategy for the area “RWTH

Aachen University Campus” would be included in the “Mobility Strategy Aachen 2030”.

All of this is proof that this issue is highly significant for the development of the City of

Aachen and will be further pursued in the future. Mobility and transport are not only closely

connected to clean air and other environmental concerns, but can also influence structural

developments at both universities, for example when it comes to taking mobility management

measures into consideration in the building permit process.


63 / 70

9 Conclusions and plans for the future

In the course of the CIVITAS project, mobility management has been integrated more deeply

into the planning and administrative processes of the two largest universities in Aachen (FH

and RWTH) in the last four years, and new measures have been developed and put into

practice. As a result, the target groups (especially students and university employees) are

now better informed about the existing mobility management, and the awareness of

sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility has increased significantly at the different

levels of the university administration.

By introducing parking space management along with job and semester tickets, RWTH

Aachen University already created the basis for sustainable, efficient university traffic several

years ago. These measures were essential for the promotion of local public transport and for

regulating parking. The results of the mobility surveys at RWTH Aachen show that these two

measures in particular have led to a sustainable traffic and pollutant reduction of the

university employees’ trips to work. However, not only the job and semester tickets for

employees and students have contributed to making public transport more attractive, but also

an improvement of the public transport service itself. The job ticket contract that RWTH

Aachen, the Aachen Transport Association and ASEAG (the local transport company)

entered into is valid until mid-2019. The parking space management, too, will be kept up at

least until then. In addition, FH Aachen continues to strive for a job ticket for its employees,

which has so far failed primarily due to financial and legal obstacles. Several calculation

models have been developed to overcome these obstacles, including one coupled to parking

space management as a cross-financing option. The calculation was based on a list of the

existing parking areas in all locations and the results of the mobility behaviour survey that

specifically investigated the potentials of introducing job tickets for FH employees. Despite

positive results from this survey (2014) and a service agreement for introducing the job ticket

in combination with raising parking fees (2011), the introduction of the job ticket has so far

been unsuccessful. The administration of FH Aachen will continue to negotiate with financial

authorities, experts/advisors and the Aachen Transport Association in order to develop an

economically and legally viable job ticket model.

For motorized private transport, both pull and push measures have been developed and

implemented to reduce traffic volume and therefore also pollutant emissions. The push

factors include primarily the introduction of parking space management at RWTH Aachen in

2011, which means that the employees can no longer use the university parking lots for free.

However, the wide range of measures does not only aim at replacing trips taken by

motorized private transport (MPT) with more environmentally transport modes, but also at

increasing efficiency in MPT. For example, the commuter portal was launched at FH and

RWTH Aachen for this purpose. This measure is meant to support carpooling for commuters,

filling up cars and reducing the car traffic volume. So far, the commuter portal has not been

received as well as intended by the two universities (as well as by the other partners; City of

Aachen, StädteRegion Aachen and the University Hospital). This is primarily because many

employees (and students) were not aware that the portal existed for a long time. It is not

least for this reason that RWTH Aachen developed a mobility brochure and launched an


64 / 70

online mobility portal. These offers, which are freely available to all target groups both in

German and in English, provide extensive information on the topic of mobility at the

university. At FH Aachen, the employees were told about the commuter portal through the

newsletter “Mobility at FH Aachen”, which is regularly sent to all employees via email. If the

universities decide to renew their contract with the provider of the commuter portal in early

2017, an advertising campaign for the portal would make sense. In addition, one way to

make the commuter portal more attractive might be to introduce reserved parking spots close

to the buildings for carpools. This would also considerably increase awareness of the portal

since the service would become visible on campus.

For the universities’ business trip management, all employees of the universities are eligible

for the MPT carsharing service of cambio Aachen, which aims at reducing the use of private

cars and the maintenance of company cars/vehicle fleets, both for the university

administration and for individual chairs and departments. Carsharing is a core component of

mobility management at the university regarding business trips. In the future, the carsharing

service will be promoted further in the university institutions to increase its popularity. The

usage statistics show that user acceptance at FH Aachen is already high (about 20% of the

employees are cambio customers); however, there is still potential at both universities. With

an increased demand for carsharing vehicles, the carsharing provider cambio Aachen will

increase the number of its stations and vehicles on campus as long as suitable areas exist.

Due to the very high share of employees who live in the city of Aachen (round about 60% at

FH and RWTH Aachen), cycling plays a special role in the development of sustainable

university transport. In recent years, several measures have been put into practice to make

cycling to work or class more attractive for employees and students. For example, old bike

stands have gradually been replaced with new u-racks for several years, and the number of

bike racks has been increased to account for the growing volume of bike traffic at both

universities. In addition, showers and locker rooms were incorporated into some new

construction projects to make cycling a viable option even for longer trips to work. Moreover,

the Institute of Urban and Transport Planning (ISB) is investigating the necessary

preconditions for introducing company bicycles at RWTH Aachen, since this service cannot

currently be provided for public institutions for legal and financial reasons. Both universities

are also supporting the provider Velocity in setting up its pedelec rental system in Aachen,

e.g. by developing a site analysis for the stations (ISB, RWTH Aachen) and donating spaces

for installing the stations. In a later stage of its development, the pedelec rental system is

meant to be available to the university employees for business trips. Especially for inner-city

trips of up to 10 km (one way), the service is a sensible alternative to cars and addition to

public transport. The university is moreover making an effort to improve the cycling

infrastructure in cooperation with the City of Aachen. The goal is not only to encourage

employees and students to cycle more, but also to improve traffic safety through specific

measures.

Regarding electric mobility, FH and RWTH Aachen have been active for years both in the

development of mobility concepts and electric vehicles and in the installation of the required

charging infrastructure. For example, RWTH Aachen currently owns 31 electric cars, six

electric scooters and several charging poles. Both universities would like to continue to


65 / 70

expand the existing charging network and to make sure the topic is incorporated into new

construction projects from the start. For this purpose, the newly developed mobility

handbook, which was created in project CIVITAS using Campus Melaten as an example,

provides a guideline for RWTH Aachen. The universities will also continue to support

Velocity’s pedelec rental system by having RWTH’s (partner) institutes subsidize the

installation of the station through sponsorships or other models; and at FH Aachen, too, more

pedelec rental stations are conceivable (e.g. at the “Competence Center Mobility”).

In order to assess the effectiveness of both individual mobility management measures and

the overall concept, it is necessary to conduct a continuous monitoring accompanying the

measures as well as evaluations. Monitoring makes it possible to check how the benchmark

figures of the parking and job ticket are developing and how much carsharing and the

commuter portal are used. Furthermore, parking space surveys can be conducted

periodically to find out what effect the mobility management measures have on parking

space demand. Possible undesired developments can be counteracted in time with

according measures. However, monitoring cannot discover the reasons behind possible

developments. This requires specific evaluations for each measure, such as mobility surveys

conducted in the target groups (especially students and employees). In addition, interviews,

group discussions or focus groups may be helpful to debate certain issues with those they

concern. Especially with the use of before-and-after surveys, the effects of mobility

management measures can be evaluated. The strategy of the CIVITAS DYN@MO project for

the collection and evaluation of monitoring data should be kept up after the end of the project

so that the usage and effectiveness of each measure can be reviewed.

RWTH Aachen and FH Aachen do not currently have a mobility manager or other

representative who is specifically responsible for issues of mobility and transportation at the

universities. The topic “Mobility and Transport” is currently spread across several

departments and divisions; it is, however, not coordinated by one superordinate division or

executive department. During DYN@MO project, the administrations of both universities

were given extensive support by the institutes and faculties of the respective disciplines. In

order to keep up or implement the new mobility concepts and the measures they contain, the

Institute of Urban and Transport Planning considers it vital to introduce full-time mobility

managers in the university administrations. Viewing FH and RWTH Aachen with their

combined total of about 57,000 students and more than 9,500 employees as a medium-sized

city, the importance of the topic and the need for a more professional approach becomes

clear.

[25.2]: Einführung (text/picture)

Vor einiger Zeit wurde das Verfahren zur Genehmigung von Dienstreisen vereinfacht. So konnte durch eineUmstrukturierung der Verwaltungs- und Organisationsaufwand einer Dienstreise minimiert werden. Diese

Umstrukturierung sah vor, die Genehmigung direkt durch die Dekanin oder den Dekan bzw. Ihrer(s) Vorgesetzten zuerteilen, um auf diese Weise eine Stufe im Verwaltungsprozess einzusparen. Folglich ist es nicht mehr notwendig, die

Genehmigung über das Dezernat I der Fachhochschulverwaltung einzuholen.Darüber hinaus zeigen die stetig fortführenden Reisekosten-Informationen, erstellt durch das Dezernat I, alle wichtigen

Hinweise zur Organisation und Durchführung einer Dienstreise bzw. eines Dienstganges auf.
