Principles highlight the demands from gig workers in the context of increasing use of data-based application to manage public transport

Modelar y planificar la movilidad urbana en tiempos de crisis
Published by: MYC
Just transitions will face unforseen adverse events, like the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods to adapt planning processes are then useful for cities to learn from past experiences and implement suitable solutions based on innovative data sets and sources.

“Data As a Force to Shape Future Urban Mobility”
Published by: WRI
“To shape future climate-friendly transport, it is crucial for cities to under­stand their complex mobility ecosystem. This is where data analysis and visualization play a key role in antic­ipating the need for mobility services at an early stage and responding accordingly. Mobility data thus enable well-founded policy and investment decisions so that transport modes can be efficiently adopted and used.”

UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORTING THE USED ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE MARKET
Published by: ICCT
The used market provides an opportunity for more affordable ZEVs. Small-scale programs can fill information gaps and help to refine policies to encourage the development of the used ZEV market. Reliability requirements and assurance provision measures could increase confidence and demand for used ZEVs.

Transport networks in East Africa are at risk from severe climate events HVT project finds
Published by: IMC
This project is working to use data to provide transport decision makers in LICs with support tools which enable them to priorities interventions that will deliver sustainable and resilient long-distance transport networks. This blog outlines preliminary findings from the HVT research conducted by the universities of Southampton and Oxford showing that key roads and railways in East Africa are vulnerable to flooding, which could result in significant economic losses. The expected annual damages (EADs)[1] exceed US$50 million for river and coastal flooding, and might increase to between US$104 and 170 million in 2080 across the case study countries included in the study.

Africa Urban Mobility Observatory Policy and Planning Insights Report
Published by: IMC
The Africa Urban Mobility Observatory (AUMO), GoMetro, recognises that many SSA cities have limited access to data about people’s movements and modes of transport because they lack adequate funding and capacity to obtain the data. AUMO is looking to promote inclusive, low-carbon mobility in African LIC cities by piloting Big Data applications to generate data, benchmark performance, and draw policy insights. This is their latest report benchmarking sustainable mobility performance. It compares policy regimes to better understand and optimise transport pathways.

Decoding women’s mobility experiences in emerging markets
Published by: WIMT
The connection between urban public transport and gender inequality is not new and despite the increasing numbers of women relying on public transport, these questions and challenges are rarely integrated into the design, planning, and operation of existing systems. This is largely due to the lack of readily available and openly accessible data on the issue.

Understand the mobility ground truth in Lima
Published by: WIMT
Gain insight into Lima’s public transport network, and how people use different public transport modes to travel around the Peruvian capital.

Lessons Learned from Jakarta’s Journey to Integrated and Resilient Transport Systems
Published by: ITDP
Over the last few years, Jakarta has rallied political will and leadership to improve mobility systems and air quality, shifting from car-oriented to transit-oriented development. This case study reflects on Jakarta’s transformation and how it addressed public transport integration, last mile integration with walking and cycling, and innovative uses of parking space.

Using GPS Technology for Demand Data Collection
Published by: TUMI/GIZ
The Global Positioning System (GPS) technology offers a cheap alternative for the data collection to traditional diary or survey methods. This document elaborates on advantages and disadvantages of the approach.

The Role of Open Data in Sustainable Transport
Published by: TUMI/GIZ
The concept of “open data,” or free access to information, has been emerging in different fields and has started to become mainstreamed since 2009 when various governments announced initiatives towards opening up their public information.

iNUA #7: Mobility-as-a-Service
Published by: TUMI/GIZ
Let’s focus on Mobility as a Service (MaaS). MaaS is the integration of various forms of transport services into a single mobility service accessible on demand. The paper presents the advantages of creating a MaaS ecosystem and the steps necessary to do so.

Urban Mobility and Transportation Domain of the 100 Questions Initiative
Published by: TUMI/GIZ
The Urban Mobility and Transportation domain of The 100 Questions Initiative identifies the most pressing, impactful questions for which data and data science have the potential to answer in the urban mobility and transportation field. This work is essential because we need to steer the use of data more purposefully to better inform decisions on urban development, clean transportation, equal access to economic opportunities, and quality of life in urban centers.

Knowledge Database: Resilience & Adaptation in the transport sector
Published by: GIZ
The work makes it clear that at present our transportation systems are fragile. On the other hand, the transport sector plays a vital role in achieving economic growth of a country. Thus to ensure unhindered economic progress, it is increasingly becoming urgent to safeguard the transportation systems against the after math of natural disasters whose frequency of occurring is increasing at an alarming rate. To design such a resilient transportation system will require a robust regulatory reforms from the governments.

Bicycle Network Bogotá
Published by: TUMI/GIZ
In recent years, Bogotá has become one of the leading cities for urban cycling in South America. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bogotá attracted worldwide attention for being one of the first cities to install temporary bike lanes to promote socially distanced transportation. This example was soon followed by many other cities around the world. Bogotá even went a step further and integrated 28 km of the 84 km temporary bike lane system into their rapidly growing permanent system.
