Project Details

Project goal

The project, commissioned by the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Affairs, carries out a survey and analysis of the mobility plans in German municipalities according to the requirements of a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP). The first step is to define assessment criteria for a SUMP; these are primarily based on the "Annex V" of the draft TEN-T Regulation, but also on other pioneering documents on the subject of SUMPs (in particular the SUMP Guidelines, etc.).
Through the analysis of databases and a complementary short survey, the inventory of sustainable mobility plans is collected. The study focuses on the cities of the TEN-T nodes (urban nodes) in Germany and all other cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. The collected plans will then be analysed and evaluated with regard to the SUMP criteria. In a further work package, the plans that do not (yet) fulfil the SUMP criteria will be analysed; special attention will be paid in this step to whether or how such plans can be supplemented, extended or reworked in order to achieve the missing SUMP qualities.
