Project description
The project analyzes the urban-regional commuter networks in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region, taking into account the currently rapidly changing social and technological framework conditions. The goal of the project is to use an inter- and transdisciplinary research design to develop a contribution on how to promote urban-rural mobility that supports a socio-ecological transformation of the mobility system. Using the region as an example, concept modules are to be developed that enable reduced traffic and a comfortable, attractive mobility mix for commuting. Commuting is understood as a social practice.
As a partner in the project, Hochschule RheinMain is tasked with determining the quantitative relevance of commuter traffic in the city region and deriving the potential impact of specific measures in terms of traffic, environmental and social effects. Against this background, the focus is on determining the potential effects of the measures developed and tested in the project.
The university's impact assessment has a twofold aim: on a qualitative level, the aim is to identify (from a praxeological perspective) fundamentally effective bundles of measures for sustainable commuting. With the formulation of packages of measures, it refers to the most scientific discourse on policy packages and supplements this with practical theoretical perspectives. The policy packages are relevant in practice due to their function as signposts for regional policies. On a quantitative level, the focus is on estimating the impact potential in relation to core indicators - in particular GHG emissions - on the basis of heuristics.
