2014; considering those 14 years old and above

Challenges

Improved conditions for sustainable mobility through:

• Pilot parking with HOVs.
• Increased safety for walking and cycling, with the involvement of residents for the consensual selection of measures.

The quality of public transport in the city lab will be improved:

• Focus on the connectivity of the districts with other peripheral neighbourhoods:
• Use of hybrid buses will serve to reduce perceived noise levels among public transport users.

Increased attractiveness for sustainable mobility in suburban districts.

Citizens' involvement will be encouraged:

• Design and assessment of safety improvement options
• Design of interventions encouraging cycling and walking.
• Autonomous mobility for vulnerable groups (children and the elderly).

Clean and efficient urban logistics.

• 50 tested e-vehicles in at least 5 companies dealing with urban distribution.
• A consolidation centre linked to the use of electric vehicles, with 30% reduction of km-goods.
• Ultra-low emission electric-natural gas distribution vehicle developed and tested.

Transport Infrastructure

Car network

Total city network: 3,000 km. 63% with AADT (Average Annual Daily Traffic) below 10,000 veh./day, carrying only 15% of total daily traffic demand.

The remaining 37% of the network with AADT above 10,000 veh/day, carrying 85% of total demand in veh-km.

Cycling network (2016 data)

Segregated ("vía ciclista"): 302 km

Non-segregated ("ciclocarril"): 155 km

Segregated under construction (operational by 31/12/2016): 31 km

Public transport network

Metro system: 293 km (about 30% outside the municipality boundaries).

Municipal bus system: 775 km, more than 200 lines.

Suburban railway: 370 network km providing service for 9 lines with a total of 537 km, 89 stations (34 stations within the municipality)

Madrid after ECCENTRIC

• 6% reduction of car travel in Madrid, related to those using the new HOV parking management scheme

• Achieve a modal share of 2% for bicycle trips in the lab area

• Increasing the modal share for walking by 6% in the lab area

• 10-30% decrease of average speed in living lab after safety plans implementation

• 50% of reduction in accidents with injuries in the lab area.

• 10% increase in commercial speed and 9% increase in regularity levels in the new high level of service PT corridor in Madrid living laboratory.

• 30% reduced energy consumption and emissions via 6 hybrid buses in Madrid.

• Noise reduction in High Quality Bus corridor with hybrid vehicles in Madrid.

• 3 participated pedestrian interventions and 3 neighbourhood level traffic safety plans in Madrid.

• 8% decrease in the number of children being driven by car to the school in Madrid laboratory area.

• 20 electric vehicles introduced in Madrid’s municipal fleet

• 50 tested e-vehicles: Use of a test fleet to commit at least 5 companies to incorporate 10 e-vehicles to its fleet in Madrid, and analyse their performance in urban distribution.

• 30% reduction of km-goods, thanks to the implementation of a consolidation centre linked to the use of electric vehicles in Madrid.

• At least two of the vehicles will be ready to be sold on the market by the end of the project.

• Ultra low emission electric-natural gas distribution vehicle developed and tested in Madrid.

• In Madrid, ECCENTRIC will drive the CO2 reduction foreseen in the Air Quality Plan, targeting 51,100 tonnes/year in the laboratory area, with an upscaling potential of 134,500 tonnes in the whole suburban area.
