Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 1, University of Salzburg, language: English, abstract: This paper tries to find a solution for the identification of potential mobility hubs in Salzburg and if it is even possible to build at this place. Originating from present service stops, combineOBUS analyses potential locations for innovative mobility hubs as places of connectivity. Mobility hubs do not simply serve as waiting points but offer different services: depended on the surrounding conditions that deal as parameters of suitability, upgraded stops for public transit also offer possibilities and amenities to obtain real-time-information about waiting times, WIFI-Access, store or rent bikes or store goods in smart lockers. In this way, the motivation to multimodal forms of mobility shall be fostered within the city of Salzburg and its surrounding municipalities. A multicriteria approach was applied for the analysis, being based on different aspects that are important basis for the capability of installing a mobility hub. The analysis is based on service areas of 300 meters from each stop. For these service areas, inhabitants, workplaces, stores and shops, the cycling network, bus intervals, passenger frequency, number of interchangements as well as further points of interest (educational institutions, sights, hotels ) were set as parameters for the suitability of stops as mobility hubs. The overall suitability for setting up a mobile hub for each service stop was calculated and displayed on a map.
