Objective needs analyses-tool bicycle infrastructure
17049
From 2017 to 2018
Together with Traject, TML developed an updated methodology for prioritising investments in cycling infrastructure: the objective needs analysis. TML analysed existing data and documents, conducted interviews with stakeholders, and integrated foreign expertise to advise the Roads and Traffic Agency on a new methodology for cycle path investments.
The Flemish government wants to invest in quality cycling infrastructure. To determine the priority according to which these investments should be made, Transport & Mobility Leuven, together with project partner Traject, proposed an updated methodology: the objective needs analysis (OBA). For this project, TML could further build on its specific traffic knowledge and expertise from other cycling projects. To arrive at a well-founded and widely supported methodology, TML also used its distinct qualities and experience in stakeholder consultation and analysis.
For this project, TML and Traject analysed all existing documents and available data on the former OBA methodology, which was last used in 2009 to prioritise possible investments in the Flemish cycling network. In addition, we conducted a number of interviews with different stakeholders such as the Flemish provinces, the Fietsersbond, Fietsberaad, and people from the administration - about 15 in total. By benchmarking with relevant expertise and methodologies from other countries, foreign know-how on this topic was also included in the elaborated methodology.
Based on all these analyses and discussions, TML and Traject drew up an advisory report for the Agency for Roads and Traffic. Based on this advice, the AWV will now review its methodology for prioritising investments in cycle paths.
This project resulted in a final report that is not publicly available.
