  1. Systematic Transfer in TIDE TIDE Workshop on Training and Exchange Stuttgart, 12-13 November 2013 • Prof Nick Hounsell, Transportation Research Group • University of Southampton, UK

  2. Outline • Introduction to Systematic Transfer • Introduction to TIDE transferability methodology • Transferability methodology step-by-step

  3. Concept of transferability • Transferability • A process of verifying the chances of a successful implementation of a measure from a pioneer city to the adopting city at an operational or implementation level • Pioneer city • A city where an innovative measure is successfully implemented • Adopter city • A city which wish to implement an innovative measure that is successfully implemented in a pioneer city

  4. Context conditions • Therearenocitieswithexactly the same contextconditions. • Differencescanincludetransport/rafficconditions (demand, supply, infrastructure, trafficcontrol/management, etc.), geographical,environmental, demographic, socio-economic and culturalbackgroundsaswellasinstitutional and legal frameworks. • So we must identifythosecontextconditionswhicharekeyto the measure‘ssuccessand which must also beaddressed in anynewlocation – orwhichhavecreatedbarrierstosuccessso thattheycaneitherbeovercomeortransferabilityavoidedwhere such factorsexist.

  6. TIDE Transferability Methodology • A systematic qualitative methodology to analyse the potential transferability of an innovative transport measure from one city to another. • Designedtomaximise the usabilityforpractitioners in European cities. • A ‘Handbook for transferability analysis in urban transport and mobility’ will be produced by the cities involved in TIDE, for wider use

  10. Step 1: Mission statement and scope • A clearly defined mission statement (or clear objectives) and a realistic scope for a measure • Should avoid any misunderstanding during the subsequent transferability and implementation processes • The following transferability steps should only be carried out after the adopter understands and agrees with the objectives and scope of the measure

  11. Mission statement (buspriority) • To provide priority to buses at traffic signals to improve their regularity • Scope • ‘Differential’ bus priority only. It does not cover the traffic signalling system itself.

  12. Step 2: Impacts: Generic (Examples) • Efficiency (capacity, journey time) • Environment (emissions, noise, visual intrusion) • Safety • Accessibility • Vehicle occupancy • Benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) • Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA)

  13. Impacts (bus priority) • Improve bus regularity • Improve bus journey time • Reduce passenger waiting time • Reduce bus overcrowding • Increase bus patronage • Increase bus revenue • May reduce bus operating costs and emissions • May increase delay to general traffic • Provide a good economic return (cost-benefit)

  15. Scaling (bus priority) • Southampton is much smaller than London and hence needs down-scaling of the implementation • This may have implications on system requirements, costs and benefits. • Note also: Southampton has a different model of bus • operations.

  16. Step 4: Main components & sub-components • Factors that can contribute to the success(or failure) of a measure : • Components (main factors): • - Policy, stakeholders, finance, technical requirements, etc. • Sub-components e.g. for policy: • - Public transport policy, traffic management policy, accessibility policy, pollution reduction policy

  17. Main components & sub-components (bus priority)Examples

  18. Step 5: Level of importance of sub-components • According to the pioneer city • High/medium/low • Supporting comments

  19. Level of importance of sub-components (bus priority)

  20. Step 6: Assessment of the situation in the adopter city • Subjective assessment of ease/difficulty in implementation by adopter city • Assessment scale: • +2 strong support for transferability • +1 modest support for transferability • 0 neutral • -1 modest constraint for transferability • -2 strong constraint for transferability

  21. Assessment of components (bus priority)by the adopter city

  22. Step 7: Conclusions • Drawing conclusions through the assessment • • One or more strong constraints (-2) to transferability • - no transfer unless the conditions can be overcome • • One or two modest constraints(-1) (no strong constraints) • - difficult to transfer the measure unless the conditions can be addressed • • If there are no constraints at all • - likely that the measure could be successfully transferred

  23. Conclusions (bus priority) • The measure is potentially transferableto Southampton dependent on: • Cost of the system – this could be justified by improved bus operations and the benefits associated with it (e.g. journey time/waiting time benefits, increased patronage) • Bus operators’ support – operators may need convincing!
