Cycle trafficKristian Erlandsen2024-11-19T09:04:43+01:00 Cycle Traffic Getting more people to choose cycling is an effective tool to reduce CO2 emissions from transportation. However, it requires good and safe infrastructure for two-wheeled traffic, and that is one of our core competencies. We can contribute with both strategic traffic planning and modeling as well as extensive experience in designing physical solutions, always with a sharp focus on safety, accessibility, and convenience. Bikes Take the stage a Le MansArtelia is helping to create coherence in cycle traffic in Le Mans through a 315 km network of bike paths in the French city, which is otherwise world-renowned for motorsport. Cycle Path on Store ValbyvejThree kilometers of a two-way cycle path and part of the Campus Path, which aims to ensure good conditions for cyclists between Trekroner and Risø Park. From Cars to Greener Modes of TransportArtelia has investigated the potential for shifting from car trips to combination journeys involving bicycles and trains in the Greater Copenhagen area. Increased Bicycle Capacity on Torvegade In CopenhagenTorvegade in central Copenhagen is a traffic artery with over 25,000 cyclists traveling daily. However, the conditions do not meet the municipality’s goals for a well-functioning bicycle infrastructure and instead exemplify the struggle for road space. Therefore, the City of Copenhagen sought a qualified proposal on how to better accommodate cyclists and create a more functional urban space for the many users. In this context, Artelia was tasked with conducting a thorough traffic analysis and subsequently developing a preliminary proposal for a new design of the stretch. Two solution principles have been developed to provide more capacity and accessibility for cyclists and contribute to enhancing Torvegade’s character as a promenade. They also align well with the city’s future mobility solutions.

This represents a paradigm shift compared to the previous OTM traffic model, which is trip-based. While a trip-based model is based on the idea that people make a number of daily trips for various purposes, an activity-based model is based on people’s behavior and activities. The activity-based model thus aims to describe our daily activities – for example, a father dropping off his child at kindergarten on the way to work and shopping on the way home, while the mother picks up the child. This makes it possible to highlight combination journeys with public transport such as Bike & Ride and bringing bicycles on trains. The new model can also describe congestion on bicycle paths and capacity limitations in public transport.

The Husum LinkA new bicycle connection that creates a continuous route for cyclists and pedestrians between northern and southern Husum. Cycle parking at Copenhagen Central StationTogether with Gehl and Juul | Frost Architects, we have developed a scenario catalog that provides various suggestions on how to meet the high demand for bicycle parking spaces at Denmark’s largest station.
