Mobility solutions: Diagnosis of the territory

décembre 2023

Before introducing new mobility solutions, it is often useful to take stock of the situation in order to gain a better understanding of the area’s needs. The diagnosis can be carried out by the Mobility Organising Authority (M.O.A.) itself if it has the resources, or delegated to a consultancy or research consultancy. There are 6 stages in this diagnosis, which determine the most appropriate choice of project.

1. Integration of existing data

Objective: Make the most of previous actions and knowledge already acquired

This stage begins by identifying the planning documents and tools or spatial programming that have an impact on the area, such as :

Studying these documents as part of the diagnosis makes it possible to:

2. Identify trip generators and poles of attraction

Objective: Understand how people move around the region

This stage consists of identifying the area’s attractions and trip generators in order to understand where residents (and other users) travel and why:

3. Be informed and inspired: the comparative study

Objectives: Draw inspiration from schemes launched elsewhere and understand the key success factors and possible obstacles.

This stage consists of consulting feedback from other regions in order to identify sustainable mobility policies that could be relevant in a given region. A benchmark of actions carried out in comparable areas is of interest at this stage.

4. Analyse multimodal and intermodal accessibility

Objective: Identify any shortcomings in the implementation of mobility and in terms of matching supply and demand.

This stage involves analysing the network and the current mobility offer and identifying the problems it encounters.

5. Analyse the sharing of public space

Objective: To study the possibility of (re)developing the space for the benefit of other users.

This is a cross-disciplinary approach that analyses how public space is shared between the different modes and uses (motorised traffic, green spaces, active traffic, etc.).

It has three components:

6. Summary: formulating findings and issues

Objective: to summarise the analysis of the area in order to determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the area’s mobility system.

This summary enables new questions to be asked about the development of the mobility policy.
